Title: | Phytostabilization of a metal contaminated sandy soil. II: Influence of compost and/or inorganic metal immobilizing soil amendments on metal leaching | Authors: | RUTTENS, Ann COLPAERT, Jan Mench, M. Boisson, J. CARLEER, Robert VANGRONSVELD, Jaco |
Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, 144(2). p. 533-539 | Abstract: | A lysimeter approach (under natural climatologic conditions) was used to evaluate the effect of four metal immobilizing soil treatments [compost (C), compost + cyclonic ashes (C + CA), compost + cyclonic ashes + steel shots (C + CA + SS)) and cyclonic ashes + steel shots (CA + SS)] on metal leaching through an industrially contaminated soil. All treatments decreased Zn and Cd leaching. Strongest reductions occurred after CA + SS and C + CA + SS treatments (Zn: −99.0% and −99.2% respectively; Cd: −97.2% and −98.3% respectively). Copper and Pb leaching increased after C (17 and >30 times for Cu and Pb respectively) and C + CA treatment (4.4 and >3.7 times for Cu and Pb respectively). C + CA + SS or CA + SS addition did not increase Cu leaching; the effect on Pb leaching was not completely clear. Our results demonstrate that attention should be paid to Cu and Pb leaching when organic matter additions are considered for phytostabilization of metal contaminated soils. | Keywords: | Metal immobilization; Metal mobilization; Organic matter; Copper; Lead | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1553 | ISSN: | 0269-7491 | e-ISSN: | 1873-6424 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envpol.2006.01.021 | ISI #: | 000241574700021 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2007 |
