This study investigated the passivation of multiple heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb) in river sediments by composting with rice straw. The correlation between the selected environmental factors and the distribution of heavy metal fractions was assessed by multivariate analysis. The results suggested that the composting could reduce the bioavailability of Cu, Cd, Cr, and Pb. The influences of composting on the passivation of these five heavy metals are different. The greatest passivation of heavy metals is for Cd, which its bioavailability decreased 17.72%. The bioavailability of Cu, Pb, and Cr also partly decreased. However, there was almost no effect on the bioavailability of Zn. The results of multivariate analysis revealed that the predominant parameters affecting the variation of the bioavailability of different heavy metals were different in a complex composting system with multiple heavy metal pollution. While the variation partitioning analysis indicated that water-soluble carbon (WSC) was the statistically main factor affecting the bioavailability of Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb. It provides a theoretical reference for optimizing the co-composting process in remediation of different heavy metal contamination in sediments.
