    The focus of this study was to explore how various fertilizers influence the movement of cadmium in soil treated with biochar. The research utilized a strong acid sandy loam soil from Chanthaburi Province, naturally rich in organic matter with moderate cation exchange capacity and low nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, sulfate, salinity and chloride levels. The soil was purposely contaminated with 50 mgkg<sup>-1</sup> of cadmium and treated with biochar derived from water hyacinth through pyrolysis at 450°C for an hour. This biochar displayed moderate alkalinity, high organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, and cation exchange capacity, but low nitrogen content. Analytical techniques like Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were employed to study the surface characteristics of the biochar. The cadmium adding soil was blended with 10% biochar and various chemical fertilizers at a 0.04% ratio. Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) extraction was used to assess the bioavailability of cadmium to plants in the soil, while sequential extraction was conducted to identify the different forms of cadmium present in the soil. The study revealed distinct effects of different fertilizers on cadmium mobility. Fertilizers like 46-0-0 and 0-3-0 caused a transformation of cadmium from stable to less stable forms, increasing the bioavailability of cadmium to plants. Conversely, fertilizers such as 15-15-15, 0-0-50, 0-0-60, and 0-52-34 shifted cadmium from less stable to more stable forms, resulting in decreased cadmium extracted by DTPA. Other fertilizers showed no significant impact on cadmium mobility in the soil. A stepwise linear regression analysis highlighted that nitrogen content, potassium content, and electrical conductivity were influential factors affecting cadmium mobility.

    Heavy metal contamination in an environment is a critical problem in Thailand that needs to be addressed urgently, particularly contaminated soil. This research aims to study the adsorption of cadmium ion by unmodified biochar and sodium dodecyl sulfate modified magnetic biochar (SDS-MB) derived from Eichhornia Crassipes. The adsorbent and soil characteristics were determined. Observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the surface of unmodified biochar (B) was smoother than SDS-MB. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) pattern showed peaks for iron oxide. The values of point of zero charge (pH<inf>PZC</inf>) and acid neutralization capability (ANC) were 3 and 1000.3 meq/kg, respectively. The greatest adsorption of cadmium occurred when the pH of the wastewater was 8. The adsorption reached equilibrium within 1 h. It followed Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic. SDS-MB was mixed with sandy clay loam soil (pH 7.87) contaminated with cadmium 50 mg per kilogram soil at the ratio of 0-5%. The results from the extraction with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), ammonium acetate, calcium chloride, diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), and sequential extraction method indicated that 5% mixing ratio showed the best ability to reduce cadmium movement in the soil. Cadmium in a form that bound to oxide and a form that bound to organic matter significantly increased.
