Desorption of myo‐inositol hexakisphosphate and phosphate from goethite by different reagents

Inositol phosphates are abundant organic phosphates found widely in the environment. The sorption and desorption of organic phosphate (P_o) are important processes in controlling the mobility, bioavailability and fate of phosphorus (P) in soil and sediment. The desorption characteristics of myo‐inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP) and inorganic phosphate (P_i) from goethite were studied by pre‐sorption of IHP or P_i followed by desorption by KCl, H₂O, and citrate. Batch experiments and in situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR) spectroscopy were used to investigate the desorption of IHP/P_i. The desorption percentage of IHP/P_i by citrate was much higher than that by H₂O/KCl. The desorption of P by citrate was mainly achieved through ligand exchange, and the desorption increased with decreasing pH. Desorption by H₂O was slightly greater than that by 0.02 M KCl because the electrostatic repulsion between the P molecules is larger in H₂O. Due to the higher affinity of IHP for goethite than that of P_i, the maximum desorption of IHP was lower than that of P_i. Desorption curves (desorption concentration in solution vs. sorption density) of IHP or P_i on goethite by KCl or H₂O was well fitted by an exponential equation, while those by citrate were well fitted by a linear equation. The desorption amounts of P in the first cycle account for more than 58% of the total desorption followed by substantial decreases in the second and third cycles. There was a re‐sorption of P_i from solution in the late stage of desorption by KCl and H₂O, resulting in a sharp decrease in desorption. Re‐sorption of IHP did not occur, which is probably due to its poor diffusion into goethite. The initial desorption rate of P_i with KCl and H₂O decreased with increasing pre‐sorption time, whereas that of IHP was opposite. This study indicates that strong sorption on and weak desorption of IHP from iron (hydr)oxides may explain the accumulation of IHP in soils.

Micromorphology,moisture sorption and mechanical properties of a biocomposite based on acetylated wood particles and cellulose ester

Abstract

One of the major issues in a long-term perspective for the use of wood–plastic composites (WPCs) in outdoor applications is the moisture sensitivity of the wood component and the consequent dimensional instability and susceptibility to biological degradation of the composite. In this work, the effects of using an acetylated wood component and a cellulose ester as matrix on the micromorphology, mechanical performance and moisture uptake of injection-moulded WPCs have been studied. Composites based on unmodified and acetylated wood particles, specially designed with a length-to-width ratio of about 5–7, combined with both cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and polypropylene (PP) matrices were studied. The size and shape of the wood particles were studied before and after the processing using light microscopy, and the micromorphology of the composites was studied using a newly developed surface preparation technique based on ultraviolet laser irradiation combined with low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy (LV-SEM). The water vapour sorption in the composites and the effect of accelerated weathering were measured using thin samples which were allowed to reach equilibrium moisture content (EMC). The length-to-diameter ratio was only slightly decreased for the acetylated particles after compounding and injection moulding, although both the unmodified and the acetylated particles were smaller in size after the processing steps. The tensile strength was about 40% higher for the composite based on acetylated wood than for the composite with unmodified wood using either CAP or PP as matrix, whereas the notched impact strength of the composite based on acetylated wood was about 20% lower than those of the corresponding unmodified composites. The sorption experiments showed that the EMC was 50% lower in the composites with an acetylated wood component than in the composites with an unmodified wood component. The choice of matrix material strongly affected the moisture absorptivity of the WPC. The composites with CAP as matrix gained moisture more rapidly than the composites with PP as matrix. It was also found that accelerated ageing in a Weather-Ometer® significantly increased the moisture sensitivity of the PP-based composites.     

长期定位施肥对土壤磷素吸持特性与淋失突变点影响的研究

通过对黄土旱塬地区长期(26a)定位施肥条件下的不同施肥处理的土壤磷素及其吸持参数的测定,以及通过室内模拟试验对土壤磷素淋失突变点的测定,研究了土壤磷素吸持参数、土壤磷素淋失突变点和部分土壤性质之间的关系。结果表明,经过26年的长期施肥,M75P60和M75N120P60处理的Olsen-P含量比CK处理的提高了10.7和9.8倍,全磷(T-P)含量比CK处理的提高了60.4%和57.7%。长期磷肥和有机肥投入可以减低土壤磷素的最大吸附量(Qm),而提高土壤磷素的吸附饱和度(DPSS),M75N120P60处理的Qm比CK的减低了49.92%,而DPSS比CK的提高了21.5倍。相关分析表明,黄土旱塬土壤的Qm与Olsen-P、T-P和CaCl2-P呈极显著的负相关关系(P<0.01),与土壤有机质呈显著负相关关系(P<0.05)。零净吸附浓度磷(EPC0)与Olsen-P和CaCl2-P呈极显著正相关关系,与T-P和SOM也达到显著正相关,而与pH值的关系不显著,但土壤磷最大缓冲能力(MBC)与pH值的关系达到极显著。DPSS与Olsen-P、T-P、CaCl2-P和SOM呈极显著正相关关系。土壤磷素淋失的Olsen-P突变点值与土壤吸持参数Qm呈极显著正相关,与MBC也达到显著正相关,与DPSS、Olsen-P、T-P和CaCl2-P呈极显著负相关关系。该地区土壤磷素淋失的Olsen-P突变点值与DPSS15%的值极为吻合,即可以用DPSS15%值作为该地土壤磷素淋失的突变点值。     

2,4‐D Movement in Allophanic Soils from Two Contrasting Climatic Regions

Abstract

Allophanic top‐ and subsoils from the Mexican and Newzealand Central Volcanic Plateau, as well as a nonallophanic sandy loam soil, were sampled to study the impact of organic matter and allophane content on 2,4‐D fate. High sorption rates were found, especially in the two topsoils from Mexico and New Zealand, with distribution coefficient (K _d ) obtained from displacement experiments in packed columns equal to 7.61 and 8.43 L kg^?1 respectively. 2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid transfer through the soil columns was found to be in chemical nonequilibrium and was well predicted using a two‐site sorption model. For the two allophanic top soils, K _d obtained from batch was very different to the K _d obtained from column experiments. Either the equilibrium could not be reached in batch or the two‐site model was not able to describe the wide range of sorption sites present in the highly reactive organic matter and allophane components.     

Effects of Source and Amount of Phosphorus on Sorption Kinetics in the Topsoil of a Highly Weathered Soil

Abstract

Soil chemical and physical reactions involving phosphorus (P) must be understood to predict the risk of P being transported from agricultural land to streams and lakes. The kinetics of P sorption by an Ultisols from West Virginia, USA, receiving P from fertilizers were compared to soils amended with turkey litter. Addition of 6.6 and 13.2 Mg turkey litter ha^?1 increased Bray 1P levels to about the same level as adding 53 and 115 kg P ha^?1, respectively. Phosphorus binding capacity decreased to a greater extent when P was added as fertilizer as compared to turkey litter. For example, P binding maximum was 360 mg P kg^?1 dry soil when soil was amended with 6.6 Mg turkey litter ha^?1 as compared to 260 mg P kg^?1 dry soil when amended with 53 kg P ha^?1. This study demonstrates that the decrease in P‐binding capacity with increasing soil P is less when P is added as turkey litter.     

Kinetics of sorption of orthophosphate and pyrophosphate by ammoniated tropical soils

Abstract

A laboratory experiment was conducted to study kinetics of sorption of orthophosphate (OP) and pyrophosphate (PP) from dilute solutions by three ammoniated tropical soils. Milligrams of P sorbed by soil (?P) and shaking time (t) showed a linear relationship: ?P = a + b √t. The data suggested two diffusion — controlled processes during P sorption. In general, due to ammoniation, initial sorption rate of OP (in linear region I) increased while that of PP decreased. PP was sorbed more than OP. Sorption rate of OP and PP in linear region II showed a tendency to decrease with increasing ammoniation levels.     

Specific sorption of trace amounts of cadmium by soils

Abstract

Sorption of trace quantities of Cd in four soils of different chemical and mineralogical properties, was studied. Initial Cd concentrations were between 15 to 150 μg. 1^?1. The sorption isotherms were linear and had a positive intercept in three of the soils, indicating a constant partition‐high affinity sorption isotherm (Giles et. al⁶). The data also followed the Freundlich sorption isotherm, and the Freundlich K parameter was taken as a measure of the relative affinity of the different soils for the Cd metal sorbed. Cadmium sorbed was extracted by IN‐NH₄C1 followed by 0.1N HC1, and the fraction remaining in the soils was considered specifically sorbed Cd. This fraction also followed a linear sorption isotherm, and was around 30% for the four soils studied. The sorption order for the amount of specifically sorbed Cd showed that the Boomer soil (kaolinite‐iron oxides) had the lowest affinity for specific sorption of this metal. This was taken as evidence that kaolinite and iron oxides have a lower capacity for retaining cadmium through specific sorption mechanism(s) than the materials present on the other soils (2:1 layer silicates and humic substances). The existence of specific mecha‐nism(s) responsible by the sorption of trace quantities of Cd in soil solutions has important implications on soil‐plant relationships, Cd mobility in soil profiles and control of Cd activity in soil solutions.
