It is vital for the development and application of heavy metal stabilization/solidification (S/S) agents to reveal the mechanism of the reaction between water-soluble thiourea formaldehyde (WTF) resin and heavy metal and evaluate its repairing effect. Based on the density functional theory analysis of the WTF resin structure, the mechanism analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the three-dimensional network structure with thiocarbonyl and hydroxyl groups is very conducive to the capture of Cd²⁺. The reduction rate of Cd²⁺ in soil added WTF resin could reach 70.6%–86.0%. The result of BCR’s sequential extraction also proved that the 86.4%–94.1% of Cd in the soil repaired by WTF resin changed from acid-soluble state to residue state. Enzyme activity analysis and 16sRNA sequencing experiments showed that such a structure does not harm soil health. The urease and phosphatase tests showed the nitrogen and phosphorus cycle of the soil added WTF resin was repaired. Even compared with the remediation agents Na₂S and hydroxyapatite, WTF resin still performed better in repairing soil health. These findings provide valuable insights into the efficient causes of WTF resin and its harmless effects on soil. The results obtained provide a critical reference for the future application of practical and gentle heavy metal S/S agents.
