The CaCO3 -CO2 -H2 O system in soils

Abstract: Equations used to develop the CO2‐Ca‐pH relationships in calcareous soils are reviewed. The equationnormalPCO1(Ca)=(H)2normalKnormalc,is used to draw a three‐dimensional surface and to derive three partial differential equations to illustrate the relationships between CO2 partial pressure, Ca activity and pH. Kc is a combination of Henry's Law constant, the first and second dissociation constants for carbonic acid and the calcite solubility product. The three dimensional CO2‐Ca‐pH surface illustrates how the t… Show more

“…The quantitative relationship of the above three components can be described with the following equations [ Robbins , ]: []H2CO3*=[]normalHnormalCnormalO3×H+true]K1 K1=1014.8435+3404.71T+0.032786×Twhere C HCO3 is the bicarbonate concentration in water ( M ); C H is the concentration of protons ( M ); K 1 is the equilibrium coefficient for H 2 CO 3 * dissociation ( M ); and T is temperature (K).…”

“…Rhizoliths form only in semi-wet shallow desert soils, when Ca 2+ and HCO become supersaturated around deceased roots of Artemisia. This corresponds to a dewatering (evaporative) phase (Breecker et al, 2009), concomitant with a decrease of pCO 2 (Robbins, 1985;Salomons & Mook, 1976). During this transition phase from wet to dry conditions, as Ca 2+ cations are generally sufficiently abundant in the dune soils, they form carbonate minerals with HCO 3 -, which is confirmed by the carbonate content of the soils.…”

“…Acid wheys and sweet wheys that contain less than 1000 mg Na kg-1 (SAR less than 10) are ideal for reclaiming sodic and saline-sodic soils. These wheys are mild acids that will lower the soil pH by neutralizing soil solution carbonates and bicarbonates and consequently increase the solubility of calcium carbonates (lime) which, in turn, decreases the soil SAR and ESP (Robbins 1985). Whey contains about 5% readily decomposable organic matter (measured as chemical oxygen demand of COD), and its decomposition contributes to the lowering of soil pH by generating additional organic acids and mineralization of nitrogen to nitrate.…”
