ADSORPTION OF HEAVY METALS ON RHIZOBIUM, SOIL COLLOIDS AND Fe OXIDES: I. ADSORPTION OF Cu

Article Summary   by:TsingHua     Original Author: JOURNAL OF HUAZHONG AGRICULTURAL
ª
 
The effects of Rhizobium fredii C6 on the adsorption of Cu on the colloids of red soil (RS) and yellow brown soil (YBS), goethite and noncrystalline Fe oxide (NFe) were studied. The results showed that the adsorption isotherm of Cu on soil colloids and Fe oxides in the presence of Rhizobium fitted Langmuir equation well(r>0.99) . There were greater amount of Cu adsorbed in the colloid systems of RS, YBS and goethite with the presence of Rhizobium than those in the corresponding systems without Rhizobium. The greatest increase of Cu adsorption was found in goethite (with smaller surface area) system. The system of Rhizobium and N-Fe adsorbed less Cu than pure N-Fe ( with larger surface area) system. The sequences of the amount of Cu adsorbed on examined soil colloids and oxides with and without the presence of Rhizobium were very different. With the increase of the number of Rhizobium in each system, the amount of Cu adsorbed on RS, YBS and goethite increased whereas decreased on N-Fe.
