Abstract

Batch and soil column experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of KH2PO4, (NH4)H2PO4 and Ca(H2PO4)2 on the adsorption and leaching characteristics of Cu and Zn in red soil. The results show that all the three phosphates can greatly improve the adsorption capacity of red soil for Cu and Zn, and the effect of different phosphates on Cu and Zn adsorption follows the order of Ca(H2PO4)2 >KH2PO4>(NH4)H2PO4. The addition of phosphate has little effect on the mobility of Cu. Ca(H2PO4)2 and (NH4)H2PO4 show a strong ability in immobilizing Zn while the immobilization ability of KH2PO4 is much weaker. All the three phosphates are helpful for modifying the partitioning of Cu and Zn from the non-residual phase to the residual phase; however, they could also enhance the contents of Cu and Zn associated with exchangeable and carbonates fractions.

      With time extension, the contents of FeMn oxide and carbonate form of Pb increased, whereas the content of exchangeable Pb decreased. The increase of FeMn oxide and carbonate bound Pb probably resulted from the formation of PbO, PbCO3, and precipitation lead phosphate ore during the immobilization process (Li et al., 2016; Sotiropoulou et al., 2010). At 7, 14, 21, and 28 d, it could be observed that the percentage of residual bounds of Pb for each of the five treatments was much higher than that of the CK.

      It was reported that less adsorption of P on quartz than on goethite in red soil (Zhou et al., 2005). Formation of new specific adsorption sites as result of P interaction with soil colloids was another potential mechanism (Li et al., 2016). Red soil would naturally release Fe ions into water when pollutants are passing by despite limited Fe ions released.

      The soil texture was analysed according to Ball (1964). Total Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd contents in soil were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after mixed acid (HNO3-HClO4-HF) digestion (Li et al., 2016). The major physicochemical characteristics of the soil before and after washing are presented in Table 1.
