Popis: In order to solve the problem of soil pollution caused by excess heavy metals, cadmium (Cd), a novel soil-washing agent organic chelating acid-based deep eutectic solvent (OCA-DES), was investigated for the removal of Cd from the contaminated soil of coking plant. Four kinds of OCA-DES were prepared by mixing choline chloride (Ch-Cl) with four organic chelating acids (citric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid), respectively, to compare their washing efficiency of Cd from soil. The effects of washing operation conditions on the Cd removal efficiency were investigated. Side effects of citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent (CA-DES) on soil were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The results showed that CA-DES had the best Cd removal efficiency and could reach as high as 93.75%, under ideal conditions. CA-DES mainly washed extractable and reducible Cd. The CA-DES washing process has less side effects on soil and hardly eroded the soil or changed the mineral structure of the soil. The main roles of CA-DES washing Cd include (1) hydrogen bonds capturing Cd; (2) the carboxyl group(-COOH) forming soluble chelate with Cd; and (3) releasing H
