Sorption and desorption of triadimefon by soils and model soil colloids

Sorption-desorption of the azole fungicide triadimefon [1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2, 4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone] on eight soils and a series of single, binary, and ternary model soil colloids was determined using the batch equilibration technique. Regression analysis between Freundlich sorption coefficients (K(f)) and soil properties suggested that both clay and organic C (OC) were important in triadimefon sorption by soils, with increasing importance of clay for soils with high clay and relatively low OC contents. Triadimefon sorption coefficients on soil were not significantly affected by the concentration of electrolyte or the presence of soluble soil material in solution, but they were highly dependent on the soil:solution ratio due to the nonlinearity of triadimefon sorption on soil. Freundlich sorption isotherms slopes were very similar for all soils (0.75 +/- 0.02). Desorption did not greatly depend on the concentration at which it was determined and showed higher hysteresis for more sorptive soils. Results of triadimefon sorption on model sorbents supported that both humic acid and montmorillonite-type clay constituents contribute to triadimefon retention by soil colloids.     

Sorption and desorption of diuron and norflurazon in Florida citrus soils

The potential for surface and groundwater contamination of soil applied herbicides is partly dependent on soil properties. Sorption and desorption of diuron and norflurazon were studied in seven soils representative of the southern citrus-belt of Florida using the batch-equilibrium technique. Sorption of herbicides was influenced by soil properties. Sorption coefficients (K _d) ranged from 0.84 to 3.26 mL g^?1 for diuron and 0.63 to 2.20 mL g^?1 for norflurazon indicating weak to moderate binding of herbicides to soil. For norflurazon, K _dwas significantly related to organic C content, soil pH, and cation exchange capacity. For diuron, absence of a significant relationship between K _dand selected soil properties suggests that the soil properties other than those studied may play a role in determining sorption on these soils. Desorption studies showed that higher amounts of diuron and norflurazon was desorbed by water than by 0.5 M CaCl₂. An inverse relationship was apparent between herbicides sorbed and that which was desorbed among the soils studied. The soil which exhibited higher sorption had lower desorption and the soil which exhibited lower sorption had higher desorption.     

Sorption and desorption behaviors of diuron in soils amended with charcoal

Charcoal derived from the partial combustion of vegetation is ubiquitous in soils and sediments and can potentially sequester organic contaminants. To examine the role of charcoal in the sorption and desorption behaviors of diuron pesticide in soil, synthetic charcoals were produced through carbonization of red gum (Eucalyptus spp.) wood chips at 450 and 850 degrees C (referred to as charcoals BC450 and BC850, respectively, in this paper). Pore size distribution analyses revealed that BC850 contained mainly micropores (pores approximately 0.49 nm mean width), whereas BC450 was essentially not a microporous material. Short-term equilibration (< 24 h) tests were conducted to measure sorption and desorption of diuron in a soil amended with various amounts of charcoals of both types. The sorption coefficients, isotherm nonlinearity, and apparent sorption-desorption hysteresis markedly increased with increasing content of charcoal in the soil, more prominently in the case of BC850, presumably due to the presence of micropores and its relatively higher specific surface area. The degree of apparent sorption-desorption hystersis (hysteresis index) showed a good correlation with the micropore volume of the charcoal-amended soils. This study indicates that the presence of small amounts of charcoal produced at high temperatures (e.g., interior of wood logs during a fire) in soil can have a marked effect on the release behavior of organic compounds. Mechanisms of this apparent hysteretic behavior need to be further investigated.     

Sorption and desorption of selenium in different soils of the mediterranean area

Abstract

The adsorption of selenium (Se) in the selenate form and its desorption by phosphate in four soils with different physiochemical properties were studied in the laboratory. To determine adsorption isotherms for selenate 25 mL of solutions containing 1 to 100 ppm of Se were added to 2.5 g of soil. Desorption isotherms were determined by resuspending the samples in phosphate solution. The selenate sorption process was adequately described by the Freundlich equation. In pine forest and woodland soils, characterized by the highest organic matter content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) values, the isotherms were classified as L type, since the amount of Se sorbed appeared to move towards saturation. The organic matter content played the most important part in the adsorption of Se, while pH appeared to have a small effect on the ability of the soil to adsorb Se. The high CaCO₃ content of the pine forest soil may have contributed in increasing the Se adsorption notwithstanding the high pH value. The cultivated and arable soils showed a reduced sorption capacity. The sorption could be described by an S type curve. At low concentrations of Se the affinity of the solid phase was less than that of the liquid phase. By increasing the concentration of Se in solution, the affinity of the solid phase increased and the sorption was favored. Selenate desorption by water was negligible, whereas the amount of Se desorbed by phosphate varied among the different soils. The desorption experiments indicated that a significant portion of the sorbed Se was irreversibly retained. This suggests the existence of linkages which allow the release of Se in the soil solution only after physico‐chemical variation such as exchange with phosphate ions.

Sorption of dimethylselenide by soils

Air-dry and moist soils were shown to possess the capacity to sorb substantial amounts of (⁷⁵Se)dimethylselenide produced by the yeast Candida humicola in culture, or by soil supplied with (⁷⁵Se)selenite, depending largely upon the organic matter content and selenium concentration of the soils. The sorption capacities of individual soil constituents followed the order; organic matter > clay minerals > manganese oxides > iron oxides > acid-washed sand.A chemical fractionation procedure applied to soils fumigated with (⁷⁵Se)dimethylselenide revealed that the majority of the selenium sorbed was converted after 1 month to other forms, extractable mainly with strong acid solutions. Experiments with sterilized (autoclaved and γ-irradiated) soils indicated that soil microorganisms played little, if any, part in the sorption process.The work reported here indicates that soil is an important natural “sink” for atmospheric dimethylselenide.     

Sorption and desorption of phosphate on biochar and biochar–soil mixtures

The term biochar refers to materials with diverse chemical, physical and physicochemical characteristics that have potential as a soil amendment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the P sorption/desorption properties of various slow biochars and one fast pyrolysis biochar and to determine how a fast pyrolysis biochar influences these properties in a degraded tropical soil. The fast pyrolysis biochar was a mixture of three separate biochars: sawdust, elephant grass and sugar cane leaves. Three other biochars were made by slow pyrolysis from three Amazonian tree species (Lacre, Ingá and Embaúba) at three temperatures of formation (400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C). Inorganic P was added to develop sorption curves and then desorbed to develop desorption curves for all biochar situations. For the slow pyrolysis, the 600 ºC biochar had a reduced capacity to sorb P (4–10 times less) relative to those biochars formed at 400 °C and 500 °C. Conversely, biochar from Ingá desorbed the most P. The fast pyrolysis biochar, when mixed with degraded tropical mineral soil, decreased the soil's P sorption capacity by 55% presumably because of the high soluble, inorganic P prevalent in this biochar (909 mg P/kg of biochar). Phosphorus desorption from the fast pyrolysis biochar/soil mixture not only exhibited a common desorption curve but also buffered the soil solution at a value of ca. 0.2 mg/L. This study shows the diversity in P chemistry that can be expected when biochar is a soil amendment and suggests the potential to develop biochars with properties to meet specific objectives.     

Sorption of sulfur gases by soils

Gas Chromatographie studies showed that air-dry and moist soils have the capacity to sorb dimethyl sulfide (CH₃SCH₃), dimethyl disulfide (CH₃SSCH₃). carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS₂), but do not sorb sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆). Moist soils sorb larger amounts of CH₃SCH₃. CH₃SSCH₃. COS or CS₂, than do air-dry soils, but the capacity of moist (or air-dry) soils for Sorption of these gases is much smaller than their capacity for sorption of H₂S. SO₂ or CH₃SH. The ability of moist soils to sorb COS is considerably greater than their ability to sorb CH₃SCH₃, CH₃SSCH₃ or CS₂. and sorption of COS by moist soils is accompanied by release of small amounts of CS₂.Experiments with sterilized (autoclaved) soils indicated that soil microorganisms are partly responsible for the sorption of CH₃SCH₃. CH₃SSCH₃. COS and CS₂ by moist soils. Support for this conclusion was obtained from experiments showing that the rate of sorption of these gases by moist soils increases with time.The work reported provides further evidence that soil is an important natural sink for gaseous atmospheric pollutants, but indicates that soils have little, if any, potential value for removal of CH₃SCH₃. CH₃SSCH₃. COS or CS₂, from industrial emissions polluted by these gases. The finding that soils have no capacity for sorption of SF₆ is significant in relation to use of this gas as a tracer for atmospheric research and as an internal standard for gas Chromatographie studies of evolution and sorption of gases by soils.     

Sorption and desorption behaviour of acetochlor in surface, subsurface and size-fractionated soil

Pesticides leaching through a soil profile will be exposed to changing environmental sorption and desorption conditions as different horizons with distinct physical and chemical properties are encountered. Soil cores were taken from a clay soil profile and samples taken from 0.0 to 0.3 m (surface), 1.0–1.3 m (mid) and 2.7–3.0 m (deep) and treated with the chloroacetanilide herbicide, acetochlor. Freundlich isotherms revealed that sorption and desorption behaviour varied with each depth sampled. As soil depth increased, the extent and strength of sorption decreased, indicating that the potential for leaching was increased in the subsoils compared with the surface soil. Hysteresis was evident at each of the three depths sampled, although no significant correlations between soil properties and the hysteresis coefficients were evident. Desorption studies using soil fractions with diameters of > 2000, 250–2000, 53–250, 20–53, 2–20, 0–2 and 0–1 µm separated from each of the three soil depths showed that differential desorption kinetics occurred and that the retention of acetochlor significantly correlated (R² = 0.998) with organic matter content. A greater understanding of the influence of soil components on the overall sorption and desorption potential of surface and subsurface soils is required to allow accurate prediction of acetochlor retention in the soil. In addition, it is likely that the proportion of each size fraction in a soil horizon would influence acetochlor bioavailability and movement to groundwater.     

Adsorption and desorption of phosphate by soils

Abstract

Added P adsorbed, expressed as a percentage of total added P, was closely and inversely related to added P subsequently desorbed, expressed as a percentage of added P adsorbed. This relationship was not linear but followed a hyperbola‐like curve. For the limiting cases where adsorption was 0% and 100%, desorption was 100% and 0%, respectively. If desorption is the mechanism limiting the release of P into the soil solution for plant utilization, then the well‐established relationship between P adsorbed in the laboratory and the recovery of fertilizer P under field conditions is accounted for.     

Adsorption and desorption of dimepiperate by soils

The adsorption and desorption of dimepiperate, S-(,-dimethylbenzyl)-1-piperidinecarbothioate, on three soils of various physical and chemical properties was studied. Adsorption isotherms conformed to Freundlich equation. The k _f values increased with increasing organic carbon content of the soils. To confirm the effect of organic matter, the adsorption of the herbicide was studied after removal of organic matter by peroxidation. This soil treatment caused a sequential loss of adsorptive capacity. Desorption isotherms also conformed to Freundlich equation, but K _des values were higher than those for adsorption and increased with increase in concentration of initially adsorbed dimepiperate. Hysteresis was indicated by the decrease in slope of desorption compared to adsorption isotherms. Hysteresis decreased with increasing methanol content in the extracting solution. The factors involved are discussed.     

Sorption of manganese,cobalt, zinc,strontium, and cesium onto agricultural soils: Statistical analysis on effects of soil properties

In this study, distribution coefficients (K _d s) of five radionuclides (⁵⁴Mn, ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁸⁵Sr, ¹³⁷Cs) were measured by a batch technique for 36 agricultural soils (paddy and upland soils) collected in Japan. Twelve properties of the soils and measured K _d ss were examined for their probability distributions. Soil properties showed log-normal type distributions, except pH(H₂O), and total calcium and potassium contents for which distributions were normal. The K _d s distributions were also lognormal types except for ⁵⁴Mn-K _d s? No significant difference in soil K _d s was found between upland and paddy soils. The K _d s were analyzed for correlations with each soil property. The combinations showing the highest correlation were: the exchangeable calcium for ⁵⁴Mn and ⁶⁰Co; the water content for ⁶⁵Zn; the cation exchange capacity for ⁸⁵Sr; and the exchangeable potassium for ¹³⁷Cs, For ⁵⁴Mn and ⁶⁰Co, their K _d s also correlated with supernatant pH. Only ⁸⁵Sr-K _d s showed an adequate correlation with the value if the CEC divided by the supernatant EC. For the other four nuclides, some other mechanisms besides ion exchange seemed to be working.     

Sorption and desorption characteristics of sulfamethazine in three different soils before and after removal of organic matter

Organic matter (OM) is the most critical factor in controlling the sorption-desorption of SMZ in soil, however, few studies have explored the effects of OM removal on these important behaviors among different soils. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption and desorption characteristics of SMZ in three different soils: fluvo-aquic soil (FS), paddy soil (PS), and red soil (RS). The SMZ sorption in the evaluated soils was dominated by physisorption. The SMZ sorption capacities of FS and PS, which had a relatively higher OM content than RS, were higher than that of RS. The SMZ sorption in FS was dominated by linear partitioning. In contrast, the SMZ sorption in PS and RS was mainly nonlinear surface adsorption. After OM removal, the SMZ sorption capacity was significantly reduced in FS but increased in PS and RS. Furthermore, OM removal restrained the sorption intensity of SMZ in soils. Relatively higher OM and clay contents inhibited the SMZ desorption in FS and PS. The strong negative desorption hysteresis of SMZ in the three soils indicated that SMZ was able to move into the soil solution, thereby posing a risk to humans. Taken together, the findings of this study showed that OM indeed plays an important role during SMZ sorption-desorption in soil.     

Sorption and mobility of 14C-labeled imazaquin and metolachlor in four soils as influenced by soil properties

Aqueous batch-type sorption-desorption studies and soil column leaching studies were conducted to determine the influence of soil properties, soil and suspension pH, and ionic concentration on the retention, release, and mobility of [14C]imazaquin in Cape Fear sandy clay loam, Norfolk loamy sand, Rion sandy loam, and Webster clay loam. Sorption of [14C]metolachlor was also included as a reference standard. L-type sorption isotherms, which were well described by the Freundlich equation, were observed for both compounds on all soils. Metolachlor was sorbed to soils in amounts 2-8 times that of imazaquin, and retention of both herbicides was related to soil organic matter (OM) and humic matter (HM) contents and to herbicide concentration. Metolachlor retention was also related to soil clay content. Imazaquin sorption to one soil (Cape Fear) increased as concentration increased and as suspension pH decreased, with maximum sorption occurring in the vicinity of pK(a1) = (1.8). At pH levels below pK(a1) imazaquin sorption decreased as hydronium ions (H3O+) increased and competed for sites. NaCl was more effective than water in desorption of imazaquin at pH levels near the pK(a1). Mechanisms of bonding are postulated and discussed. The mobility of imazaquin through soil columns was in the order Rion > or = Norfolk > Cape Fear > or = Webster, whereas for metolachlor it was Rion > or = Norfolk > Webster > or = Cape Fear. Imazaquin was from 2 to 10 times as mobile as metolachlor.     

Sorption and desorption of Zn on Ca-Kaolinite

Experiments on Zn²⁺ sorption-desorption by Ca-kaolinite using a wide range of Zn²⁺ concentrations and two acid pH values allowed us to reach the following conclusions: (1) For Zn²⁺ surface coverages below the kaolinite C.E.C., Zn²⁺ was sorbed mainly via ion exchange; (2) At Zn^2? sorption values above the C.E.C., Zn²⁺ was sorbed with higher affinity by a mechanism stronger than ion exchange, involving a strong association of Zn ions with silicate solid phases; and (3) Use of C.E.C. values and/or Langmuir's calculated maxima would greatly underestimate Zn²⁺ sorption capacity by kaolinite, even at acid pH values.

参考经济合作与发展组织(OECD)化学品试验导则No.106,采用批量平衡试验的方法,探讨了土霉素(Oxytetracycline,OTC)在3种土壤中的吸附解吸特性,并考察了土霉素外加量对土壤中4种代表性重金属元素(铜、锌、铅、镉)解吸量的影响。试验设置的土霉素初始浓度为0.01、0.1、1.0、5.0、10.0、25.0、50.0、100、200和400 mg L-1。结果表明:(1)存在一个土霉素特征浓度,高于或低于该浓度值时土霉素的吸附性质有所差异,且高低两个浓度范围内的数据均能用Freundlich模型与Langmuir模型较好地拟合;(2)当土霉素浓度在0~25 mg L-1之间时,能在土壤表面与重金属发生竞争吸附,且重金属解吸量随土霉素浓度的增加而增加;当土霉素浓度在25~100 mg L-1之间时,部分游离态重金属以与土霉素的络合物形式重新固定于土壤表面,土壤重金属的解吸量随土霉素浓度增加而减少;土霉素浓度高于100 mg L-1时,体系p H相对于对照有明显下降,土壤重金属的解吸量与土霉素浓度又呈正相关。     

Sorption and desorption of non-ionic herbicides onto particulate organic matter from surface soils under different land uses

In vegetative filter strips used to intercept pesticides present in run‐off, particulate organic matter derived from the vegetation plays an important function in pesticide sorption processes, because it accumulates at the soil surface and quickly responds to changes in land use. Two herbicides with contrasted properties: isoproturon, moderately hydrophobic (log K_ow= 2.5), diflufenican, strongly hydrophobic (log K_ow= 4.9), and isopropylaniline, a metabolite of isoproturon, were used to characterize the sorption and desorption properties of POM originating from soils under three different land uses: a cropped plot under conventional wheat/maize rotation, an adjacent 10‐year‐old grassed strip and a nearby 80‐year‐old oak/chestnut forest. Chemical structural composition information obtained from solid‐state ¹³C CPMAS NMR and estimation of hydrophobicity from contact angle measurements were used to explain the different sorption capacities of POM according to their size and origins. Sorption of isoproturon and diflufenican increased with hydrophobicity of POM, which was greater in the forest soil. Aromaticity of POM was positively correlated to sorption coefficients (K_oc). Desorption of the more hydrophobic compounds, diflufenican and isopropylaniline was weak for all POM fractions, regardless of their origin and size. On the other hand, desorption of isoproturon depended on land use and POM characteristics. The sorption capacities of POM were not only controlled by their chemical composition, but also by their size, due to a greater number of sorptive sites related to a greater surface area with decreasing particle‐size.     

Adsorption and desorption of triasulfuron by soil

The adsorption and desorption of the herbicide triasulfuron [2-(2-chloroethoxy)-N-[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino]carbonyl]benzenesulfonamide] by three soils, soil organic matter (H(+) and Ca(2+)-saturated), and an amorphous iron oxide were studied. Adsorption isotherms conformed to the Freundlich equation. It was found that pH is the main factor influencing the adsorption in all of the systems. Indeed, the adsorption on soils was negatively correlated with pH. The highest level of adsorption was measured on soils with low pH and high organic carbon content. Moreover, it was found that humic acid is more effective in the adsorption compared with calcium humate (the pH values of the suspensions being 3.5 and 6, respectively). Experiments on amorphous iron oxide confirmed the pH dependence. Desorption was hysteretic on soils having high organic carbon content.
