Effects Of Organic Matter And Iron-Rich Clay On Mobility Of Trace Metals From Flue Dust Contaminated Soil, Scott Ephraim Lewis
Effects Of Organic Matter And Iron-Rich Clay On Mobility Of Trace Metals From Flue Dust Contaminated Soil, Scott Ephraim Lewis
OES Theses and Dissertations
The enhanced leaching of trace metals through soil becomes a concern for human health if dissolved trace metals reach groundwater and migrate into a public water system. A serial batch extraction procedure was implemented to determine the effects of Vitagrow © organic matter and Fe-Rich TM clay on the mobility of trace metals (Zn, Pb, and Cd) from a flue dust treated (0, 600, 1200, and 2400 μgig Zn) Appling soil.
The addition of an organic matter (OM) amendment to the Appling soil enhanced Pb mobility and reduced soluble Zn and Cd. In general, average solution concentrations of trace metals …
