The influence of soil to solution ratio on cadmium removal from soils using anionic surfactants

The effectiveness of cadmium removal from soils by two anionic surfactants at different soil/solution ratio (m/V) was investigated. At critical micelle concentration (CMC) Rosulfan L reduced surface tension of water more sufficiently than ABS Na/S. In soil/surfactant systems CMC values clearly increased in comparison with fresh solutions, indicating surfactants sorption.

The increase of m/V from 1/20 to 1/80 ratio resulted in enhancement of cadmium removal effectiveness. For ABS Na/S it increased from 5.4 to 8.2% (loam sand) and from 11.7 to 26.3% (medium loam). Better results were obtained for Rosulfan L. Along with increase of samples dilution, the effectiveness changed between 11.6% and 19.1% in loam sand, whereas in medium loam from 30.4 to 50.9%. Regardless of soil/solution ratio, higher effectiveness of cadmium removal was obtained from medium loam, what might be probably connected with lower surfactants sorption.

Erfassung und Bewertung mineralölstämmiger und biogener Kohlenwasserstoffe in Böden
© Springer Vieweg | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH (4/2008)
Es wurde eine Analysenmethode zur getrennten Erfassung von mineralölstämmigen und biogenen Kohlenwasserstoffen in Böden erarbeitet. Proben mit Kohlenwasserstoffgehalten im Bereich der Hintergrundbelastung konnten untersucht werden. Dabei zeigte sich, dass eine Trennung in mineralölstämmige und biogene Kohlenwasserstoffe möglich ist. Das Wassergefährdungspotenzial der verschiedenen Kohlenwasserstoffe kann mit Hilfe eines Perkolationstests ermittelt werden.

Die Züblin Umwelttechnik GmbH betreibt seit 2022 eine Bodenwaschanlage in Norddeutschland zur Reinigung von PFAS-kontaminierten Böden, mit über 180.000 Tonnen gereinigtem Material im ersten Jahr.

Lead fractionation in soil as affected by organic and inorganic amendments
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The Pb fractionation in the sewage sludge and cow manure before and after removal of organic carbon, reducible Fe, iron oxide and Pb(NO3)2 salt was determined by a sequential extraction method. Despite cow manure and sewage sludge had high level of organic carbon (54 and 31%, respectively), most of the Pb in these amendments was found in the inorganic (oxide) fraction.

Soil carbon sequestration affected by cultivation of poor pastures in arid regions of Central Iran

Soil carbon sequestration through changes in land use and management is one of the important strategies to mitigate the global greenhouse effect. This study was conducted to estimate the rate of soils carbon sequestration in land use changes from poor pastures (PP) to wheat fields (WF) and poor pastures to alfalfa fields (AF) occurring in Abarkooh plain, Central Iran.

Chemical fractionation and phytoextraction capacity of maize plant grown on chromated copper arsenate soil

A pot experiment was performed to study the single and sequential extraction of As, Cr and Cu in chromated copper arsenate (CCA) contaminated soil and the potential of maize (Zea mays) for the removal of the metals from the CCA contaminated soil.
