Improved cadmium sorption isotherms by the determination of initial contents using the radioisotope 109Cd

Cadmium (Cd) sorption isotherms were estimated by two different analytical approaches to assess the influence of initial Cd concentrations of soil matrix on the sorption of added Cd. For the laboratory experiments a heterogeneous set of samples was collected to include a wide range of different initial Cd concentrations. Comparison of both analytical methods (conventional analysis, radioanalysis) resulted in a strong conformity of Cd contents in solution at equilibrium. The calculated Cd concentrations in the soil solid phase differ according to the analytical approach for considering the initial contents. The determination of the initial contents by the proposed radioanalytical method with ¹⁰⁹Cd resulted in long linear Freundlich‐isotherms, even in the low concentration range. Thus, radioanalysis seems to be the most suitable method to recognise the initial contents of Cd in soil. EDTA extractable Cd represent the initial concentrations, which are averaged over solid and liquid phase. However, depending on the sorption characteristics of the soil these rates vary. In the investigated set of soil samples 52.3 to 99.3% of Cd must be added to the solid phase.     

Characterization of triadimefon sorption in soils using supercritical fluid (SFE) and accelerated solvent (ASE) extraction techniques

Sorption–desorption of the fungicide triadimefon in field‐moist silt loam and sandy loam soils were determined using low‐density supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The selectivity of SFE enables extraction of triadimefon from the soil water phase only, thus allowing calculation of sorption coefficients (K_d) at field‐moist or unsaturated conditions. Triadimefon sorption was influenced by factors such as soil moisture content and temperature; sorption increased with increased moisture content up to saturation, and decreased with increased temperature. For instance, K_d values for triadimefon on the silt loam and the sandy loam soils at 40 °C and 10% water content were 1.9 and 2.5 ml g⁻¹, respectively, and at 18% water content, 3.3 and 6.4 ml g⁻¹, respectively. Isosteric heats of sorption (ΔH_i) were −42 and −7 kJ mol⁻¹ for the silt loam and sandy loam soils, respectively. Sorption–desorption was also determined using an automated accelerated solvent extraction system (ASE), in which triadimefon was extracted from silt loam soil by 0.01 M CaCl₂. Using the ASE system, which is basically a fast alternative to the batch equilibration system, gave a similar ΔH_i value (−29 kJ mol⁻¹) for the silt loam soil (K_f = 27 µg^{1 − 1/n} ml^1/n g⁻¹). In order to predict transport of pesticides through the soil profile more accurately on the basis of these data, information is needed on sorption as a function of soil water content. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry

采用平衡吸附法,研究了不同浓度的富啡酸(FA)对土壤吸附重金属离子(Cu2 、Cd2 、Pb2 )的影响。结果表明,潮褐土对富啡酸的吸附作用很强;潮褐土对富啡酸的吸附随pH的升高先缓慢增大后迅速下降;潮褐土对重金属离子的吸附随pH的升高而增大,且在低pH值下,富啡酸促进潮褐土对Cu2 、Cd2 、Pb2 的吸附和Pb2 的次级吸附,抑制对Cu2 、Cd2 的次级吸附;在高pH值下,富啡酸抑制土壤对Cu2 的吸附和次级吸附,而促进Cd2 和Pb2 的吸附和次级吸附;在富啡酸浓度相同的条件下,潮褐土对重金属离子的吸附能力为:Pb2 >Cu2 >Cd2 。

Influence of Compost Addition to Soil on the Behaviour of Herbicides

The transformations of eight herbicides (atrazine, simazine, terbutryn, pendimethalin, carbetamide, 2,4-D, metsulfuron-methyl and dimefuron) in soil after compost addition were monitored during long-term laboratory incubations. The herbicides were applied to soil, compost and soil-compost mixtures. Herbicide sorption, their kinetics of mineralisation and the extractability of residues were compared in the different treatments. Compost addition to soil generally decreased herbicide mineralisation and favoured the stabilisation of herbicide residues. A fraction of the stabilised residues remained extractable and potentially available. However, most of them were unextractable and formed bound residues. Sorption could be at the origin of a kinetically limited biodegradation, mainly for the most highly-sorbed herbicides (atrazine, simazine, terbutryn, pendimethalin and dimefuron). Compost addition had little effects on the less sorbed herbicides (carbetamide, 2,4-D and metsulfuron- methyl). © 1997 SCI.     

Sorption of isoxaflutole by five different soils varying in physical and chemical properties

Isoxaflutole is a new pre-emergence corn herbicide which controls both grass and broadleaf weeds. Experiments were performed in the laboratory to study the sorption of isoxaflutole in five different soils (Moorhead, MN; East Monroe, CO; Ellendale, MN; South Deerfield, MA; and Chelsea, MI) using the batch equilibration technique. Total initial isoxaflutole solution concentrations for each soil were 0.05, 0.15, 0.3. 0.8, 1.5, 2.0 and 4.0 mg litre⁻¹. Analysis of [ring-¹⁴C] isoxaflutole was performed using liquid scintillation counting, and sorption data were fitted with the Freundlich model. Isotherms of isoxaflutole in all the soils were non-linear as depicted by the exponent (n < 1.0), indicating differential distribution of sorption site energies in various soils. Since the isotherms were non-linear the data fit Freundlich's isotherm well, as was indicated by high values of the regression coefficient (r²). The Freundlich sorption coefficient ranged from 0.555 to 50.0 (litre ⁿmg ^l−nkg⁻¹). Multiple regression of the sorption constant, K_F against selected soil properties indicated that organic matter content was the best single predictor of isoxaflutole sorption (r² = 0.999) followed by soil pH (r² = 0.954). Clay content of the soils did not have a high correlation with K_F values (r² = 0.453), while the sorption of isoxaflutole was not influenced by the Ca²⁺ concentration in the soil solution. Isoxaflutole sorption increased with an increase in organic matter content of soils. Sorption of isoxaflutole decreased as the soil pH increased from 4.5 to 8.5, which was depicted by the reduction of K_F values. Sorption of isoxaflutole to the soils varied with differences in binding energies. At a particular net energy value (E*), the corresponding site energy distribution [F(E*)] values followed the order, Chelsea, MI > Moorhead, MN > East Monroe, CO > South Deerfield, MA > Ellendale, MN. The negative magnitude of Gibbs free energy of sorption (ΔG ^x) indicates the spontaneity of the given sorption process in the soils from Moorhead, MN; East Monroe, CO and Chelsea, MI. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry

Geochemical Fractionation and Adsorption Characteristics of Zinc in Thai Major Calcareous Soils

Zinc (Zn) is a vital plant nutrient that is widely deficient in Thai cultivated calcareous soils. The chemical fractionation and adsorption of Zn are among the most important solid- and liquid-phase interactions that determine the retention of Zn in the soils. This study aimed to investigate the fractionation and adsorption isotherms of Zn in cultivated Thai calcareous soils. The results of sequential extractions showed that Zn is mainly distributed in residual fractions followed by organic-bound, iron and manganese oxides-bound, carbonate-bound, and exchangeable Zn, respectively. Zinc adsorption was well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Thai calcareous soils had high Zn adsorption capacity. Soil pH, organic carbon, calcium carbonate, cation exchange capacity, and extractable calcium were the major soil properties that affected the Zn adsorption isotherms in these soils. Zinc hydroxide was the solid precipitate and the Zn hydroxide ion (ZnOH⁺) was the dominant Zn ion in alkaline equilibrium solution.
