Abstract

Repeated application of phosphorus (P) fert ilizer in soils, in excess of crop removal rates, may increase the concentration of P in soil solution and conse quently the transfer of soluble P to streams. Excess P in natura l aquatic systems can promote eutrophication of lakes and rivers. The application of calcareous sorbent in the adsorptive removal of P from soil solution could be a suitable technique. The objective of the experiment is to evaluate the sorption of P in a marginal coarse-textured soil (pH 5.5) amended with a concrete residue high in calcium compounds (commercial cement) as a function of contact time. Triplicate 0.50-g samples of so il, CR and soil treated with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of CR (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg CR/kg soil) are mixed with 50 ml of 100 mg P/L in 100 ml-polyethylene centrifuge tubes. The sorbent suspensions are allowed to equilibrate for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 360, 504 and 720 h at room temperature with occasional shaking. Afte rwards, they are centrifuged and filtered. Phosphate in the solution is determined colorimetrica lly. The P sorption reaction increases with CR rate and reaction time. Analysis of variance showed very highly significant effect (p<0.001) of cement rate on P-sorption values. CR alone exhibits very high sorption capacity. The kinetic curve of sorption demonstrated good fitting with a logarithmic equation. The results of this study indicate that the cementitious material added to acidic soil is a potential sorben t for removing anthropogenic P from aqueous soil suspensions.
