A greenhouse experiment was carried out to study the effect of microbial inoculation and EDTA as synthetic chelator on heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) uptake into and translocation within corn (Zea mays) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus) grown on contaminated soil. Four treatments were included: the control, EDTA as synthetic chelator, inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and the...
Reactions of heavy metals with soils are important in determining the bioavailability and the ultimate fate of these metals in the environment. To assess the competitive sorption and the selectivity sequence of Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd and Ni, batch equilibrium experiments were performed using a mixture of metal solutions and surface samples of six Egyptian soils that were developed on shale and differed in...
A greenhouse experiment with two levels of Cd (0.5 and 10 mg Cd kg−1, in the form of CdCl2), and five salinity levels of irrigation water (0, 8.6, 17.1, 34.2 and 68.4 mM NaCl) in triplicate was conducted to determine the effect of NaCl-induced salinity on the solubility and availability of Cd in clay loam and sandy calcareous soils. Corn seeds (Zea mays L.) were sown in pots. Forty-five days after...
