Abstract

Background and objectives: In recent years, the use of aluminum sulfate has been considered by farmers as an alternative compound to sulfuric acid due to the high risks and the need for special tools and equipment inorder to use, as well as elemental sulfur due to the slowly oxidation in unsuitable conditions of calcareous soil in vineyards and agriculture lands. For this purpose, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of aluminum sulfate and iron sulfate on the adsorption and chemical forms of zinc in a calcareous soil.

Materials and methods: The amounts of 22.21 and 27.8 g of aluminum sulfate and iron sulfate calculated for neutralizing of 2% of lime of soil, respectively, and were added to 500 g of soil. The samples were incubated for two weeks at 25 ± 1 ° C under field capacity (FC) condition. At the end of incubation, adsorption experiments carried out with different initial concentration of Zn (0, 30, 90, 120, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mg L-1 Zn) with 0.01 M Calcium chloride as a background solution, Zn-extractable by DTPA method and Zinc distribution by Tessier sequential extraction method were determined.

Results: The results showed that adding of aluminum sulfate treatment and iron sulfate treatment to soil reduced and increased zinc adsorption, respectively. Nonlinear fitting of experimental data showed that the Freundlich model (with highest R2 and lowest SE) was better fitted to the experimental data compared to the Langmuir, Temkin, and Doublebin-Raduskvich models, and sorption capacity factors (qmax, B, KF, qD) and sorption energy factors (KT, KL, n) decreased with application of aluminum sulfate treatment but increased with application of iron sulfate treatment . The sorption energy parameter (E) of Dubinin-Radushkevich was less than 8 KJ mol-1, indicating that the Zn adsorption process was physical or Exchangeable. The sorption intensity (SI) index of zinc decreased with application of aluminum sulfate treatment and increased with application of iron sulfate treatment, respectively. Application of aluminum sulfate treatment reduced the exchangeable form of zinc and increased carbonate form, while the application of iron sulfate treatment significantly decreased the exchangeable form and increased oxide forms.


Conclusion: It was concluded that application of aluminum sulfate treatment in soil lead to transformation of the zinc from insoluble forms into more soluble forms and increased zinc bioavailability, while the application of iron sulfate treatment decreased Zn bioavailability due to
reduction of zinc absorption in the soil.
