Reducing Bioavailability and Leachability of Copper in Soils using Coal Fly Ash,Apatite, and Bentonite

Soils treated with two concentrations of copper (Cu; 200 and 400 mg kg^?1) were amended with three amendments (coal fly ash, apatite, and bentonite) at the rates of 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. The effects of amendment application on the bioavailability and leachability of Cu in the soil were evaluated using the wheat uptake, single extraction, and sequential extraction tests. The addition of coal fly ash, apatite, and bentonite at the rate of 2.5% increased wheat biomass by 50.5%, 41.1%, and 61.7%, respectively. The application of amendments significantly (P < 0.01) reduced the Cu contents extract that will buy DW (deionized water), TCLP (toxicity characteristics leaching procedure), and DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) in the soil. The amendments also reduced the water-soluble/exchangeable, carbonate, iron (Fe)–manganese (Mn) oxide, and organically bound fraction contents of Cu but increased the amounts of residual Cu in soil. Our results demonstrated that these amendments were effective in reducing the bioavailability and leachability of Cu in soil.     

Pollution and Desorption Kinetics of Heavy Metals at Agricultural Soils in Southeastern Iran

Desorption of heavy metals is an important factor in determining heavy-metal availability in soils. The objective of this research was to determine the applicability of kinetic equations to describe the kinetics of copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) desorption at two agricultural soils of Kerman Province in Iran. For Cd and Cu desorption studies, 5 g of the air-dried <2-mm soil fraction was extracted with 25 ml of 0.01 M ethylenediamenetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at pH 7.0 with a shaker for periods of 5 to 2880 min. The desorption patterns of Cu and Cd were generally characterized by an initial fast reaction, followed by a slower continuing reaction. Desorption of Cu and Cd from the two soils was equally well described by the two-constant rate and simple Elovich equations. The results of this study can be used to make better prediction about the mobility and bioavailability of the Cu and Cd in soil.     

Application of the Multicomponent Spectral Fitting Algorithm in the Estimation of the Correct Value of Phosphorus determined by ICP OES in Soil Samples

ABSTRACT

Phosphorus (P) determination by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) in soil extracts is affected by copper (Cu) content and may lead to misinterpretation of the results. In this study, Multicomponent Spectral Fitting (MSF) method for the quantitative determination of P in the presence of Cu was tested. Phosphorus determination by UV/Vis molecular absorption spectrometry (COL) was free from copper interference. Phosphorus determination by ICP OES at wavelengths of 213.618 and 214.914 nm without use of MSF were subject to interference when Cu concentration was greater than 1.5 and mg L^?1 and 3.5 mg L^?1, respectively. When the P: Cu ratio in solution was 1:1 and 2:1, on average, there was no significant difference between the P determined by COL and by ICP-OES using MSF. In matrices containing Cu, it is indicated to use the P spectral line at 214.914 nm because it was less sensitive to Cu concentration than spectral line at 213.618 nm.     

Micronutrient topdressing of alfalfa (medicago sativa L.) on a udollic albaqualf

Abstract

An established stand of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was topdressed with two rates each of borax, zinc sulfate, and copper sulfate at two levels of applied P and K. Yields and plant composition were determined at five harvests over two seasons. Treatments were not effective in increasing yields but topdressing with B and Zn increased the concentration of these elements in the plant tissue. The Cu concentration in alfalfa tissue was not affected by topdressing with copper sulfate. Phosphorus application rates of about four times removal rates were needed to maintain the Bray 2 soil test level of the soil.     

不同浓度铜离子土壤的吸附-解吸行为——兼论弱专性吸附态的存在

研究了三种可变电荷土壤和两种恒电荷土壤不同铜离子浓度条件下的吸附-解吸行为。结果表明,不同铜离子浓度下土壤的pH-Cu2+吸附率曲线均在低pH段出现会合,且随着铜离子浓度升高,pH-Cu2+吸附率曲线有向右偏移的趋势。证实了可变电荷土壤中吸附性铜离子可被去离子水解吸,并存在解吸峰现象。针对解吸前后吸附体系pH值的变化研究结果显示,吸附时体系pH低于5.0时,解吸后pH上升;而吸附体系pH高于5.0时,解吸后pH下降,表明pH5.0可能是土壤吸附铜离子机理发生变化的又一个转折点。本文还对专性吸附中弱吸附态的存在和形成原因进行了初步探讨。

紫胶红色素异常铜含量的研究

关于紫胶原胶的含铜情况过去尚末见报道,应用原子吸收分光光度法测出紫胶原胶的铜含量为9.49ppm。将紫胶原胶分成粗粒胶、细粒胶、粉胶和紫胶虫尸体四个级分,分别测出其铜含量为8.06ppn、13.44ppm、16.38ppm、49.66ppm。 紫胶原胶中的铜高度富集于紫胶虫尸体之中,它是引起紫胶红色素铜污染的主要污染源。从紫胶的生物来源和紫胶红色素的化学本质分析,紫胶原胶中紫胶红色素的铜污染是不可避免的。     

高铜对大鼠肾细胞炎性因子和细胞增殖的影响

旨在探讨铜中毒对大鼠肾组织炎性因子的表达和细胞增殖功能的影响。本研究选用32只20日龄健康大鼠随机分为4组,每组8只,其中,对照组日粮的铜（Cu）浓度为15 mg·kg^-1;高铜Ⅰ组日粮Cu浓度为30 mg·kg^-1;高铜Ⅱ组日粮Cu浓度为60 mg·kg^-1;高铜Ⅲ组日粮Cu浓度为120 mg· kg^-1。连续饲喂6个月,检测肾组织Ki-67、PCNA、IL-1β、IL-2、IL-6、IL-18、NF-κB、TNF-α的mRNA及其蛋白的表达。随着日粮中铜含量增高,肾组织中Ki-67、PCNA mRNA及其蛋白表达量显著降低（P<0.05）。炎性因子IL-1β、IL-2、IL-6、IL-18、NF-κB、TNF-α mRNA的表达水平显著升高（P<0.05）,IL-1β蛋白的表达水平呈剂量依赖性上升,IL-6和IL-18蛋白表达水平先上升,后下降。结果表明,日粮铜含量高于30 mg·kg^-1时,将不同程度地抑制大鼠肾组织的细胞增殖,促进炎性因子的表达,造成炎性损伤。
