The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of liming and the application of waste organic material, i.e. sewage sludge, on the content and distribution of nickel in the fractions extracted with the BCR procedure from soil contaminated with this metal. The study was carried out on soil after a 3-year pot experiment, which included the following factors: I – nickel used in the incremental...
In this paper, the contents of heavy metals in the southern suburb soil of Jiaozuo city, including Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Co and Mn, are determined. The corresponding data was assessed using the methods of single-factor pollution index as well as synthetic pollution index. Based on the characteristics of the contents of the soil heavy metals, the reasons for the heavy metal pollution of soil are analyzed...
Soil pollutant concentrations such as heavy metal Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn were collected at 1082 sampling sites in Changhua county of Taiwan. This study applies a spatial autocorrelation analysis for identifying multiple soil pollution hotspots based on original and re-sampling data in the study area. Results show that the multiple hotspots for four heavy metals and are strongly related to the locations...
By analysis of the spatial distribution of heavy metals in surface soil in Fuzhou, we found the soil have been contaminated in different levels, especially for contents of Pb, Zn, Cr in all the sample points far exceeded Background value in soil of Fujian Province. Some pro-sulfur and pro-iron elements have similar properties, so their variation of contents show good correlation. The features of the...
This study dealed with the distribution and the origin of trace elements (Co, Cd, Mn, Ni, Zn, Tl and Pb) in two soil profiles from a site near a plant roasting pyrite for sulfuric acid production. Chemical partitioning of the trace elements showed that Tl and Pb in each individual extractable fraction(i.e. weak acid exchangeable, reducible and oxidizable)presented increasing trend upward through the...
The research reveals the mobility and distribution of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, and Cr) in soil of sewage irrigation area in Pearl River Delta. Samples were collected from topsoil (0-10cm) and subsoil (30-40cm), and the total concentration and available concentration of heavy metals were extracted by HNO3-HF-HClO4 and DTPA respectively. The mean total concentrations for all of the heavy metals...
The spatial distribution and variation of six heavy metals and metalloid in soil of Zhuji Lipu copper mining area was studied using geostatistics approaches combined with GIS. These elements included Pb, As, Cr, Cu, Zn and Ni. The statistical analyses showed that concentrations of these elements were lognormal distribution. Concentrations of Pb, As, Cu, Zn and Ni were strongly correlated with each...
21 Sedimentary samples were taken from the rivers in north part of Anhui province, China. The contents of 8 heavy metal elements (Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Mn, and Zn) were determined by ICP-MS. Organic matter contents in sediment were also tested. The results show that the different degree enrichments of heavy metals in sediments are appearing as compared with the average values of heavy metal contents...
This study is supported by the agriculture geochemical survey project in Dakang town, Jiangyou city. This paper studies the characteristics of heavy metal pollution in soil and then evaluates heavy metal potentialities in purple soil and paddy soil by adopting the potential ecological risk index(PERI) proposed by Hakanson. In purple soil, the data show that Hg, Cd, and Cu are the top three heavy metals...
Environmental quality of reclaimed soil is a key issue in the process of land construction and ecology rehabilitation. Taking Xinzhuangzi and Datong reclamation district for example, according to Nemerow Pollution Index Method, results show that: In all 30 soil samples, 28 samples are I class level, clean; 1 sample is II class level, slightly clean; 1 sample is III class level, polluted slightly....
This study is supported by the agriculture geochemical survey project in Dakang town, Jiangyou city. By analyzing the heavy metals and organic pollutants contained in the surface soil, a assessment of soil quality is made in the study area by introducing single-index and comprehensive-index evaluation analysis, as well as by using GIS .The evaluation shows that nearly 1/3 areas of the land in the...
By using a hydrothermal treatment process, coal fly ash was transferred to a series of synthesized zeolites and characterized XRD and SEM observations. The synthesized zeolites exhibited more enhanced adsorption capacities for metals compared to the raw material as the increased CEC of the synthesized zeolites apparently provides a better adsorptive ability for metals. For the three synthesized zeolite...
Soil samples (0-10cm soil layer) were collected from Xuanwei and Fuyuan, which were known as high lung cancer incidence area in Yunnan province, China.The aim of the study was to investigate the trace metal pollution situation of the local village. Total 24 samples of surface soil were analyzed for 32 trace metals. The samples were digested with HNO3 and HF and H2O2 using microwave. The concentrations...
This paper collected soil samples on provincial highway of Qiting of Yixing City at the leeward of the wind to study the space diversity condition of soil heavy metal pollution at the side of the road traffic under the influence of traffic. The results shows that: (1) Contents of Pb and Cu in the farmland soil on both sides of transport road existed accumulative phenomena and they were affected by...
A pot experiment was conducted to examine cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni) bioavailabilities in arid oasis agricultural soils. Celery (Apium graveolens) was selected as the tested plant. The chemical forms of the metals in soils were characterized by sequential extraction analysis technique. The results showed that in uncontaminated arid soils, Cd, Zn and Ni existed predominantly in the less...
Abstract- Column experiment simulations were carried out to determine potential metal ion migration in order to establish the environmental impact of a manganese mine wasteland and to understand the transport dynamics of heavy metal migration by way of two different soil types (tailings and tailings mud) within the Xiangtan Manganese Mine wasteland. Simulations were conducted at the Research Section...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the pollution situation of a closed landfill located in Likeng village, Guangzhou. Soil samples in different depths were collected from the studied area. Among of them, total 108 samples (0~10 cm) of surface soil were analyzed for Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn investigation. The samples were digested with HNO3 and HF and HClO4. The concentrations of Cd,...
To attempt to understand certain mechanisms causing the variations between rice genotypes with regard to Pb uptake and accumulation, pot soil experiments were conducted with two rice genotypes at different levels of Pb, i.e., 34.05 (the control), 800, 2000 mg Pb kg-1 soil. The two rice genotypes differ significantly with regard to Pb uptake and accumulation. Root secretions of low-molecular-weight...
In order to study the relationship of heavy metals between coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) and the environment, concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Ti and V in bark and leaf samples of cocos in Haikou and Sanya cities were analyzed. The results showed that coco barks and leaves are subject to accumulate Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. All the studied element contents in barks and leaves in Haikou are...
The production of municipal sludge is very huge. Deposition of municipal sludge usually cause mental pollution, so deal with sludge and eliminate associated pollution is attractive. We focused on strategy of to resolve the sludge pollution through biological methods of agriculture utilization. Weeds of Scirpus planiculmis (SP) were used to remove the heavy metals of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni in the...
