In this article, the effect of metal immobilizing substances and NaCl salinity on the availability of heavy metals: Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Abstract
The objective of the investigation was to evaluate the effect of immobilizing substances and NaCl salinity on the availability of heavy metals: Zn, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In greenhouse pot experiment, a sewage sludge amended soil was treated with the following immobilizing substances: three clay minerals (Na-bentonite, Ca-bentonite and zeolite), iron oxides (goethite and hematite), and phosphate fertilizers (superphosphate and Novaphos). The pots were planted with wheat and were irrigated either with deionized or saline water containing 1600 mg L−1 NaCl. Wheat was harvested two times for shoot metal concentrations and biomass measurements. Metal species in soil solution were estimated using the software MINEQL+. The addition of metal immobilizing substances to the soil significantly decreased metal availability to wheat. The largest reduction in metal bioavailability was found for bentonites. The irrigation with saline water (1600 mg L−1 NaCl) resulted in a significant increas...

Responses of soil microbial communities and their network interactions to saline-alkaline stress in Cd-contaminated soils.

TL;DR: Soil bacteria were more active in response to the SA stress than fungi, as the significant structural reorganization of soil bacterial microbiota rather than fungal microbiota between SA and CK treatments was illustrated by principal component analysis.

The Iron Oxides

TL;DR: The food-quality iron oxides are primarily distinguished from technical grades by their comparatively low levels of contamination by other metals; this is achieved by the selection and control of the source of the iron or by the extent of chemical purification during the manufacturing process as discussed by the authors.

The adsorption of lead and other heavy metals on oxides of manganese and iron

RM McKenzie
- 01 Feb 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, measurements were made of the adsorption of cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc on nine synthetic manganous oxides and three synthetic iron oxides, to determine the mechanism by which lead accumulates in the MANGANESE oxides in soils.
