The invention belongs to the field of polluted soil
recovery techniques and discloses a
phytoremediation method for the soil polluted by
phthalic acid ester. The method comprises the following steps: (1) crushing and flattening the soil, ditching, furrowing, applying a base
fertilizer, and irrigating the soil by water until the soil is wet; (2) adding
nutrient soil or a culture medium into each
cave before seeding, carrying out water spraying, seeding corn seeds, and covering the seeding corn seeds with
nutrient soil; (3) carrying out soil
transplanting when 3-4 main leaves grow from a
seedling, and keeping the soil moist; (4) harvesting corn plants before a heading stage of corns. According to the
phytoremediation method, the degradation of the
phthalic acid ester is promoted by virtue of the cooperation of a corn
root system and
rhizosphere microorganisms, so that the removal rate in the soil reaches 86%, and the efficient removal of the
phthalic acid ester in the soil is realized; after the corns are harvested, stems and leaves can be taken as feeds and have
economic benefits; the growth of the corns is rapid, the
root system is developed, the
biomass is large, and the
phthalic acid ester in the soil can be effectively removed; the
phytoremediation method is applicable to the
recovery of the wide-range middle-concentration and low-concentration polluted soil polluted by the
phthalic acid ester.
