Oxalic Acid Effect on Potassium Release from Typical Rice Soils of Kashmir

Batch experiments were employed to examine the influence of oxalic acid on release kinetics of potassium (K) from soils along with adsorption and desorption of soil K⁺. The soils used were three rice soils from high-, mid-, and low-altitude zones. The results showed that soil K extracted using 0.2 mol L^–1 oxalic acid was similar to that of 1 mol L^–1 boiling nitric acid (HNO₃). The relation between K release (y) and concentrations of oxalic acid (c) could be best described as y = a + b log c, whereas the best-fit kinetic equation of K release was y = a + b √t. The K release for soils was in the order Bonbagh > Ganasthan > Kreeri. An oxalic acid solution with low pH was able to release more K. Oxalic acid decreased soil K⁺ adsorption and increased desorption, the effect of which tended to be greater at lower pH.     

Potassium Release Kinetics in Potato Growing Alluvial Soils of North Western India

Potassium (K) release and kinetics were studied in soils of north western India varying in soil properties. Mathematical equations were tested for their applicability to describe K release in the alluvial soils. The major portion of total K was released within 1 h of the reaction. The initial rapid K release was followed by a slower rate of K release. The linear equation adequately described the K release kinetics. The next best fit to satisfactorily describe the reaction rates of K release was the first order equation. There existed two separate first order equations indicating different rates of K release. Soils having higher native potassium and clay released higher amounts of K and at a faster rate. However, the first order equation showed that the faster rate of reaction might be inhibited by higher amounts of clay, probably because of the restrictive properties of illites.     

Kinetics of Soil Potassium Release Under Long-Term Imbalanced Fertilization in Calcareous Soils

Knowledge on potassium ion(K~+) release from soils makes K fertilizer recommendation more efficient and profitable.Kinetics of K~+release under continuous fertilization of no fertilizer(CK), urea(N), triple superphosphate(P), and urea + triple superphosphate(NP) without K fertilizer was investigated in calcareous(chloritic and kaolinitic) soils on the Miandarband Plain in Kermanshah Province of Iran.The results showed that the kinetics of K~+release included an initial reaction and a slow reaction.The phosphateand NH_4~+-induced K~+release followed the same rate process during the rapid(2–192 h) and slow release periods(192–1 090 h).There were no significant differences in the cumulative K~+released from the chloritic and kaolinitic soils among all the treatments.The cumulative K~+released was positively correlated with P adsorption capacity for the chloritic(r = 0.461, P 0.05) and kaolinitic soils(r = 0.625, P 0.01), and negatively correlated with K fixation potential for the chloritic(r = 0.720, P 0.01) and kaolinitic soils(r =-0.513, P 0.01).There was a significant(P 0.001) interactive effect of K fixation potential × P adsorption capacity on the cumulative K~+released for both soil groups.The initial release rate(IRR) index(a·b, where a and b are the rate coefficients of the power function equation) for the chloritic soils was significantly(P 0.05) higher under applications of P and NP than N and CK.The IRR index values among different fertilization treatments were in the order of NP = P N = CK for the chloritic soils, and N =P NP CK for the kaolinitic soils.This study showed that K fixation potential and P adsorption capacities controlled K~+release from soils.This information will be helpful for precise fertilizer recommendations for the studied soils.

Soil Reserves of Potassium: Release and Availability to Lolium perenne in Relation to Clay Minerals in Six Cropland Soils from Eastern China

An 8‐month greenhouse experiment with ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) examined the relationship between the dynamics of potassium (K) reserves in soil and changes in clay minerals, using X‐ray diffraction. The capacity of soil to release K was consistent with its ability to supply it and was the highest in the soil samples collected from Laiyang (H₁T₂a), Harbin (H₁T₁) and Beibei (H₂T₄), followed by the sample from Jiangyan (H₁T₂b), and the lowest in the samples from Gao'an (H₂T₃a) and Wangcheng (H₂T₃b). Removal of soil K decreases the intensity of reflections for illite and increases that for interstratified clay minerals. The centre of gravity values of the clay fractions was significantly negatively correlated to the depletion of soil K reserves, as ascertained through chemical extraction or through plant action. The quantitative regression equations between the centre of gravity values and the dynamics of soil reserves of K can be used for predicting the release and plant availability of K even without growing a crop.

Release Kinetics of Nonexchangeable Potassium by Different Extractants from Soils of Varying Mineralogy and Depth

Abstract

Nonexchangeable potassium (K) release kinetics of six major benchmark soil series of India as affected by mineralogy of clay and silt fractions, soil depth and extraction media was investigated. The cumulative release of nonexchangeable K was greater in smectitic soils (353 mg K kg^?1 at 0‐ to 15‐cm depth and 296 mg K kg^?1 at 15‐ to 30‐cm depth, averaged for 2 soils and 3 extractants) than in illitic (151 mg K kg^?1 at 0‐ to 15‐cm depth and 112 mg K kg^?1 at 15‐ to 30‐cm depth) and kaolinitic (194 mg K kg^?1 at 0‐ to 15‐cm depth and 167 mg K kg^?1 at 15‐ to 30‐cm depth) soils. Surface soils exhibited larger cumulative K release in smectitic and illitic soils, whereas subsurface soils had larger K release in kaolinitic soils. Among the extractants, 0.01 M citric acid extracted a larger amount of nonexchangeable K followed by 0.01 M CaCl₂ and 0.01 M HCl. The efficiency of citric acid extractant was greater in illitic soils than in smectitic and kaolinitic soils. Release kinetics of nonexchangeable K conformed fairly well to parabolic and first‐order kinetic models. The curve pattern of parabolic diffusion model suggested diffusion controlled kinetics in all the soils, with a characteristic initial fast rate up to 7 h followed by a slower rate. Greater nonexchangeable K release rates in smectitic soils, calculated from the first‐order equation (b=91.13×10^?4 h^?1), suggested that the layer edge and wedge zones and swelling nature of clay facilitated the easier exchange. In contrast to smectitic soils, higher release rate constants obtained from parabolic diffusion equation (b=39.23×10^?3 h^?1) in illitic soils revealed that the low amount of exchangeable K on clay surface and larger amount of interlayer K allowed greater diffusion gradients, thus justifying the better fit of first‐order kinetic equation in smectitic soils and parabolic diffusion equation in illitic soils.     

模拟酸雨对红壤稀土元素释放的影响研究

模拟酸雨作用下红壤中稀土元素的释放水平大小依次为Pr＞Ce＞Nd＞Tb＞Sm＞La＞Er＞Ho＞Gd＞Dy＞Eu＞Y＞Lu≈Yb,轻稀土元素的释放水平要高于重稀土元素.酸雨对稀土元素的释放有明显的促进作用,且不同元素的CAR1/CCK、CR2/CCK比较接近(CAR1、CAR2和CCK分别表示pH4.5的酸雨、pH3.5的酸雨和对照3种情况下淋出液中稀土元素的含量).CAR1/CCK介于1.43～1.93之间,平均为1.61;CAR2/CCK介于1.76～2.27之间,平均为2.06,经过9 150～10 650 mm的模拟酸雨淋溶以后,pH4.5的酸雨使稀土总累积释放量平均提高37.61%,pH3.5的酸雨使稀土总累积释放量平均提高78.05%.稀土总释放量与Fe、Mn的释放量相关分析表明:多数红壤稀土总释放量与Fe、Mn的释放量呈显著或极显著性相关.初步推断红壤中的稀土释放可能是由于吸附载体Fe-Mn氧化物因H 的输入而解离所致.     

粘土矿物中钾的生物活化: Ⅰ. 外生菌根

A pot experiment was Carried out to in vestigate effect of ectomycorrhizal fungi on eucalyptus growth and K bio-mobilization from soils and clay minerals,In the experiment,sands mixed with soil,KCl-satureated vermiculate and mica,respectively,were used to nurse eucalypus seedings which were nonectomycorrhized or ectomycorrhized by an ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius strain XL1(Pt XC1) isolated from a forest soil from Xichang,Sichuan Province,China,and a worldwide well-know ectomycorrhial fungus Pioslithus tinctorius strain 2144(Pt 2144) obtained in Australia.More depletion of HCl-souluble K by mycorrhizas from the soil and minerals than nomycorrhizas suggested that mycorrhizas had a great ability to mobilize K present in the interlayer and feldspar.Mycorrhizal seedlings depressed greatly K digested with HF-HClO4 from substrates after consecutive extractions of soils and minerals by water,ammonium acetate and boiling HCl,while nonmycorrhizal seedlings reduced it little if any,shwing that the mycorrhizal seedlings could mobilize and then utilize the structureal K in mineral lattice,Ectomycorrhizal fungi played a very important role not only in promoting the growth of eucalyptus seedlings but also in mobilizing K in soils and minerals.The infection of Pt XC1 led to a better growth of eucalyptus seedlings and more K accumulation in the seedlings than that of Pt 2144.The large differeces in K accumulation by the seedlings might be due to different abilityes of the two ectomycorrhizal fungi to mobilize K in intelayer and lattice pools in the clay minerals.     

Kinetics of Iron and Manganese Release from Contaminated Calcareous Soils

Knowledge of the release of heavy metals (HM) and their chemical speciation is necessary for characterizing HM behavior in soils. The kinetics and characteristics of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) release were studied in 10 contaminated calcareous soils using 0.01 M calcium chloride (CaCl₂), 0.01 M ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), and 0.01 M malic acid (malic acid) extractions. Iron and Mn in soil samples were fractionated before and after 2084 h kinetic release using a sequential extraction procedure. The proportion of Fe and Mn released by EDTA was greater than that with CaCl₂ and malic acid. A power model satisfactorily described Fe and Mn release from soils. In general, the mean release rate of Fe was greater than that of Mn, indicating a greater rate of Fe release from contaminated soils. It was shown that Fe and Mn distributions were similar in native soils and they were mainly found in Fe-Mn oxides and organic-matter (OM) fractions. There were changes in the proportional distribution of Fe and Mn in all soils during the 2084 h kinetic study with different extraction solutions. In general, the proportions of Fe and Mn associated with carbonate (CARB) and OM fractions tended to decrease, with corresponding increases in the Fe-Mn oxides for Mn and residual (RES) fractions for Fe during the kinetic study with all extraction solutions. The Fe and Mn solubility at the initial and final stages of release was controlled by siderite (FeCO₃), vivianite [(Fe)₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O], MnCO₃(am), MnHPO₄, and rhodochrosite (MnCO₃) minerals in all extraction solutions. Based on a risk assessment and percentage of release of metals, there is a high potential for Mn release into the food chain from contaminated soils.     

Potassium release characteristics and mineralogical characteristics of some delaware soils

Abstract

Twenty‐eight agriculturally important Delaware soils were cropped intensively in a greenhouse experiment. There was no consistent positive correlation between K uptake and percent sand, silt, clay, clay minerals of the clay fraction, K‐feld‐spars of the sand fraction or K‐feldspar weathering of the soils from the A horizon. Only potassium feldspar from the sand fraction and K‐feldspar weathering correlated with K uptake in the soils of the B horizon. This correlation was only significant at the latter part of the experiment when nonexchangeable K was probably the source of plant available K.     

草酸对土壤和矿物中钾素的释放规律研究

Oxalic acid plays an important role in improving the bioavailability of soil nutrients. Batch experiments were employed to examine the influences of oxalic acid on extraction and release kinetics of potassium （K） from soils and minerals along with the adsorption and desorption of soil K^＋. The soils and minerals used were three typical Chinese soils, black soil （Mollisol）, red soil （Ultisol）, and calcareous alluvial soil （Entisol）, and four K-bearing minerals, biotite, phlogopite, muscovite, and microcline. The results showed that soil K extracted using 0.2 mol L^-1 oxalic acid was similar to that using 1 mol L^-1 boiling HNO3. The relation between K release （y） and concentrations of oxalic acid （c） could be best described logarithmically as y = a ＋ blogc, while the best-fit kinetic equation of K release was y = a ＋ b√t, where a and b are the constants and t is the elapsed time. The K release for minerals was ranked as biotite 〉 phlogopite 〉〉 muscovite 〉 microcline and for soils it was in the order： black soil 〉 calcareous alluvial soil 〉 red soil. An oxalic acid solution with low pH was able to release more K from weathered minerals and alkaline soils. Oxalic acid decreased the soil K^＋ adsorption and increased the soil K^＋ desorption, the effect of which tended to be greater at lower solution pH, especially in the red soil.

Potassium fixation capacity of some highly calcareous soils as a function of clay minerals and alternately wetting-drying

ABSTRACT

The current research was done to investigate the effect of wetting-drying cycles, time, and clay mineralogy on K fixation capacity of highly calcareous soils. In order to conduct the study, eight soil samples were collected. The samples were treated with different concentrations of K including 200 (K1), 400 (K2) and 800 mg kg^?1 (K3) and 8 different incubation time including 6 h (t1), 24 h (t2), 72 h (t3), one week (t4), two weeks (t5), one month (t6), two months (t7) and three months (t8). Also, a wetting-drying treatment was done (td) in order to simulate the effect of irrigation and soil drying on K fixation. The results showed that for all K levels addition, the percentage of fixed K was increased with time. The K fixation content was increased with the increase in the added K from K1 to K3, while K fixation percentage was decreased. The results also showed that there was a significant difference between soils with wetting-drying treatment (td) and soils with three-month incubation (t8) in K fixation capacity, so that the fixation of K by the soils was increased with wetting-drying cycles.     

Zinc Release Characteristics from Calcareous Soils using Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid and Other Organic Acids

Adsorption and desorption reactions of zinc (Zn) in soils control its availability to plants. In the present investigation, time-dependent Zn release was evaluated using three organic acids [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), citric acid, and maleic acid] to depict the Zn fraction controlling Zn release rate from slightly calcareous to calcareous soils. Eight surface and two subsoil samples of selected soil series varied in their physicochemical properties, amount of Zn held in different chemical pools, and Zn-retention capacities (21–61%). Each soil was extracted for a total period of 24 h at 1:10 soil/extractant suspension ratio using 0.005 M DTPA. The time-dependent parabolic diffusion model best described the Zn release in six consecutive extractions. Soils differed in cumulative Zn extracted (1.09–3.81 mg kg^?1 soil) and Zn release rate. Under similar conditions, three soils differing in Zn-retention capacities were also extracted with five different concentrations (0.01–0.0001 M) of citric and maleic acids. Although both maleic and citric acids released soil Zn at greater rates and in greater amounts than DTPA, maleic acid was more efficient. Soil Zn bound to amorphous iron (Fe) + manganese (Mn) oxides was the main Zn pool that controlled Zn release characteristics.     

三峡库区受淹土壤污染物释放量的试验研究

Potassium release from sand,silt and clay fractions in calcareous soils of southern Iran

The release of non-exchangeable potassium from 24 calcareous soils of divergent mineralogy, from southern Iran, was examined. Sand, silt and clay particles were fractionated after dispersion with an ultrasonic probe. Samples were extracted with 0.01 M CaCl₂ for 30 successive 2-h periods. The clay fraction released the largest amount of K in each soil. Cumulative K released ranged from 175 to 723, 35 to 128, and 71 to 146 mg kg^?1 contributing 20–90, 4–39 and 2–54% for clay, silt and sand fractions, respectively. The lower proportion of K released from sand and silt fractions can be explained by the presence of a high content of CaCO₃ and quartz in these fractions. The release kinetics for the non-exchangeable K data showed that parabolic diffusion and power function were the best fitting kinetic models. This indicated that slow diffusion of K from the mica interlayer positions is the main rate-controlling process. Cumulative K released and constant b values of parabolic diffusion model correlated significantly with the mica content of the clay fraction.

Plant Availability Index by Potassium Exchange Isotherms in Selected Rice Soils of Lesser Himalayas

Potassium (K) exchange isotherms (quantity–intensity technique, Q/I) and K values derived from the Q/I relationship provide information about soil K availability. This investigation was conducted to study Q/I parameters of K, available K extracted by 1 N ammonium acetate (NH₄AOc) (exchangeable K plus solution K), K saturation percentage (K index, %), and the properties of 10 different agricultural soils. In addition, the relationship of mustard plant yield response to the K requirement test based on K exchange isotherms was investigated. The Q/I parameters included readily exchangeable K (ΔK₀), specific K sites (K_X), linear potential buffering capacity (PBC^K), and energy of exchange of K (E_K). The results of x-ray diffraction analysis of the oriented clay fractions indicated that some mixed clay minerals, illite clay minerals, along with chlorite/hydroxy interlayered vermiculite and kaolinite were present in the soils. The soil solution K activity ratio at equilibrium (AR₀) ranged from 8.0 × 10^?4 to 3.1 × 10^?3 (mol L^?1)^0.5. The readily exchangeable K (ΔK₀) was between 0.105 to 0.325 cmol_ckg^?1 soil, which represented an average of 88% of the exchangeable K (K_ex). The soils showed high capacities to maintain the potential of K against depletion, as they represented high linear potential buffering capacities (PBC^K) [13.8 to 50.1 cmol_c kg^?1/(mol L^?1)^0.5. The E_K values for the soils ranged from ?3420 to ?4220 calories M^?1. The percentage of K saturation (K index) ranged from 0.7% to 2.2%. Analysis of variance of the dry matter (DM), K concentrations, and K uptake of mustard plants indicated that there were no significant differences among the adjusted levels of K as determined by the exchange-isotherm curve.
