      abstract = {The technology of in situ immobilization with amendments  is an important measure that remediates the soil  contaminated by heavy metal, and selecting economical and  effective modifier is the key. The effects and mechanism of  steel slag, the silicon-rich alkaline by-product which can  remediate acidic soil contaminated by heavy metal, are  mainly introduced in this paper to provide theory  inferences for future research. Firstly, the paper analyzes  current research situation of in situ immobilization with  amendments. Then, it introduces the main physicochemical  properties of steel slag, and the effect on soil pH value  as well as heavy metal activity. Besides, the paper  elaborates the promoting effect on silicon-requiring plant  and the strengthening mechanism for its resistant  capability of heavy metal. According to the analysis, the  application of steel slag could be a potential valuable  strategy to remediate acidic soil contaminated by heavy  metal by modifying the transformation of heavy metal in  both soil and plant, so that the translocation of heavy  metal in food chain is reduced.},
