Adsorption of Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn in tropical soils under competitive and non-competitive systems

Abstract: The adsorption of heavy metals in soils affects their behavior in the environment and their bioavailability to plants. The knowledge of the adsorption mechanisms in competitive systems allows a more realistic evaluation of the metals' behavior in the soil than the single metal adsorption. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn adsorption in 14 surface samples (0-0.2 m) of representative soils of the Brazilian humid-tropical region, in competitive and non-competitive systems, and (… Show more

“…In this study, the relatively high proportion between pseudo-total and available Cd can be explained by the absence of an aging process. Although the specific adsorption may be the predominant mechanism of Cd retention in soils (Moreira & Alleoni, 2010), the short time of contact with the soil, as well as the soil acidity (pH around 5.0) may have contributed to the high availability of Cd in this study. Therefore, the availability of metals would be expected to be lower under field conditions with other sources of soil contamination.…”

“…However, the dissolved Zn contributes most of the total. A number of studies have indicated that the metal competitive sorption would be in the order of Pb>Cu>Zn [15]. But elimination effects of Cd in these three tanks were not very effi cient, which may be due to too low infl uent Cd concentration and close to the detection limit of atomic absorption spectrophotometer.…”

“…To describe the metal adsorption forms in the soil, physicochemistry models are utilized, and several equations are proposed to fit the equilibrium solution data (MOREIRA; ALLEONI, 2010). Among these models are the Langmuir and Freundlich curves, which are simple and provide consistent information about the prediction of soil pollution (ABAT et al, 2012).…”
