Influence of the Fe(III): Modified clinoptilolite on phosphorus leaching from different soil types

Abstract

Influence of the iron(III)-modified clinoptilolite (FeCLI) on phosphorus leaching from two different Norwegian soil types (sand and clay loam soil) was studied using a column system at room temperature. FeCLI was used in different amounts of 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 wt. %. The obtained results indicate that the presence of FeCLI causing a reduction of phosphorus leaching from both soil types. The reduction efficiency increases with the FeCLI amount. Addition of 2.5 wt.% FeCLI to the soils decreased the phosphorus leaching by 48 % from clay loam soil and by 42 % from sand soil compared to the control systems. FeCLI also increased pH of the soils from 5.1 to 7.0 for sand and from 5.7 to 7.7 for clay loam soil. All obtained results indicate that FeCLI is a promising soil supplement for the studied soil types due to phosphorus preservation and a decrease of soil acidity.

U radu je ispitivan uticaj gvožđe(III)- modifikovanog klinoptilolita (FeCLI) na izluživanje fosfora iz dve različite vrste norveškog zemljišta (pesak i glinovita ilovača). Eksperimenti su izvedeni u kolonama na sobnoj temperaturi. FeCLI je dodavan u različitim koncentracijama 0,5; 1,5 i 2,5 mas. %. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da FeCLI doprinosi smanjenju izluživanja fosfora kako iz peskovitog, tako i iz glinovito ilovačastog zemljišta. Efikasnost FeCLI raste sa povećanjem koncentracije FeCLI u zemljištu. U koncentraciji 2,5 mas.% FeCLI smanjuje izluživanje fosfora za 48 % (iz glinovite ilovače) i 42 % (iz peskovitog zemljišta). Takođe, FeCLI povećava pH zemljišta: od 5,1 do 7,0 (pesak) i 5,7 do 7,7 (glinovita ilovača). Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da je FeCLI perspektivan suplement koji doprinosi zadržavanju fosfora u zemljištu i smanjenju kiselosti obe vrste ispitivanih zemljišta.
