Overview

This study demonstrates urease-driven carbonate precipitation's effectiveness for heavy metals in soils, highlighting its potential for sustainable remediation.

Key Points

The enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation system captured over 91% of lead, demonstrating high effectiveness for heavy metal sequestration.
Jack bean and watermelon seed ureases achieved 87.3% efficiency for cadmium, indicating their role as optimal catalysts in treatment processes.
Optimized operational parameters maintained soil permeability above 10⁻⁵ cm/s, showcasing the process's ability to preserve essential soil properties.
Field validation showed a 61% cost reduction compared to microbial methods, underlining its practicality for ecological restoration efforts.
