Popis: Soil cadmium contamination is a global environmental issue, threatening ecosystem health and human safety. Common remediation strategies, including phytoremediation and soil replacement, are typically hampered by their lengthy processes or high costs. The aim of this review is to explore and evaluate innovative physical and chemical remediation techniques to address cadmium pollution effectively. This review focuses on three promising approaches: the co-application of phosphate fertilizers and sepiolite, CaAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) immobilization, and hydrochar treatments. The primary methodologies involved evaluating the adsorption capacity, ion exchange mechanisms, and remediation efficiency under varying environmental conditions. Results indicate that these techniques significantly enhance cadmium immobilization, with the co-application of phosphate fertilizers and sepiolite demonstrating up to 72.6% removal of HCl-extractable cadmium. The review concludes that these techniques offer superior cost-effectiveness and scalability for large-scale applications and recommends future research to optimize amendment formulations and develop renewable adsorbents to further improve sustainability.
