Effect of addition of organic residues on phosphorus release kinetics in some calcareous soils of western Iran 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We investigated the effects on phosphorus (P) release of the addition of potato, wheat, and sunflower residues and fruit compost
to five calcareous soils. Residue was added at the rate of 20 g kg−1. After 2 months of incubation, P values in control and amended soils were used for kinetic studies and fractionated by a
sequential extraction procedure. The relative contribution of available P fraction (KCl-P) increased from 1.4% in control
soils to 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.2%, and 2.3% in soils amended by fruit, wheat, potato, and sunflower residue addition, respectively,
indicating that organic residues increased P in this fraction. In soils amended with different residues, the percentage of
Olsen-P released over 86-h successive extractions with 0.01 M CaCl2 ranged from 57.6% for fruit residue addition (average of five soils) to 60.5% for potato residue addition. The ability of
residues to release P depended on the soil properties, with 21.9 mg kg−1 (average of all residues) released to soil 2 and 77.4 mg kg−1 released to soil 4. Also residues behaved differently, with 31.5 mg kg−1 (average of five soils) released by fruit residues and 40.0 mg kg−1 released by sunflower residues. Release of P was best described by a parabolic diffusion model. The corresponding rate constant
(mg kg−1 h−1/2) for P release for amended soils, defined as the release rate averaged for five soils, was found to decrease in the order:
potato (2.73) > sunflower (2.61) > wheat (2.56) > fruit (2.50). The present study demonstrates that addition of residues improves
P availability of these calcareous soils by increasing extractable P and the release rate and could be an alternative, indigenous
source of P. However, the increase in P availability and the release rate following organic residue application suggests high
potential mobility to water sources. 相似文献

Nitrogen addition to soil can play a vital role in influencing the losses of soil carbon by respiration in N-deficient terrestrial
ecosystems. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilization (HN, 200 kg N ha−1 year−1; MN, 100 kg N ha−1 year−1; LN, 50 kg N ha−1 year−1) on soil respiration compared with non-fertilization (CK, 0 kg N ha−1 year−1), from July 2007 to September 2008, in temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia, China. Results showed that N fertilization
did not change the seasonal patterns of soil respiration, which were mainly controlled by soil heat-water conditions. However,
N fertilization could change the relationships between soil respiration and soil temperature, and water regimes. Soil respiration
dependence on soil moisture was increased by N fertilization, and the soil temperature sensitivity was similar in the treatments
of HN, LN, and CK treatments (Q
10 varied within 1.70–1.74) but was slightly reduced in MN treatment (Q
10 = 1.63). N fertilization increased soil CO2 emission in the order MN > HN > LN compared with the CK treatment. The positive effects reached a significant level for HN
and MN (P < 0.05) and reached a marginally significant level for LN (P = 0.059 < 0.1) based on the cumulative soil respiration during the 2007 growing season after fertilization (July–September
2007). Furthermore, the differences between the three fertilization treatments and CK reached the very significant level of
0.01 on the basis of the data during the first entire year after fertilization (July 2007–June 2008). The annual total soil
respiration was 53, 57, and 24% higher than in the CK plots (465 g m−2 year−1). However, the positive effects did not reach the significant level for any treatment in the 2008 growing season after the
second year fertilization (July–September 2008, P > 0.05). The pairwise differences between the three N-level treatments were not significant in either year (P > 0.05). 相似文献

Phosphorus (P) application in excess of plant requirement may result in contamination of drinking water and eutrophication
of surface water bodies. The phosphorous buffer capacity (PBC) of soil is important in plant nutrition and is an important
soil property in the determination of the P release potential of soils. Phosphorus sorption greatly affects both plant nutrition
and environmental pollution. For better and accurate P fertilizer recommendations, it is necessary to quantify P sorption.
This study was conducted to investigate available P and P sorption by calcareous soils in a semi-arid region of Hamadan, western
Iran. The soil samples were mainly from cultivated land. Olsen’s biocarbonate extractable P (Olsen P) varied among soils and
ranged from 10 to 80 mg kg−1 with a mean of 36 mg kg−1. Half of the soils had an Olsen P > 40 mg kg−1 and >70% of them had a concentration >20 mg kg−1, whereas the critical concentration for most crops is <15 mg P kg−1. Greater average Olsen P in soils occurred under garlic (56 mg kg−1) and potato (44 kg kg−1) fields than in dry-land wheat farming (24 mg kg−1), pasture (30 mg kg−1), and wheat (24 mg P kg−1) fields. A marked increase in fertilizer P rates applied to agricultural soils has caused P to be accumulated in the surface
soil. Phosphate sorption curves were well fitted to the Freundlich equation. The standard P requirement (SPR) of soils, defined
as the amount of P sorbed at an equilibrium concentration of 0.2 mg l−1 ranged from 4 to 102 mg kg−1. Phosphorus buffer capacity was relatively high and varied from 16 to 123 l kg−1 with an average of 58 l kg−1. In areas of intensive crop production, continual P applications as P fertilizer and farmyard manure have been used at levels
exceeding crop requirements. Surface soil accumulations of P are high enough that loss of P in surface runoff and a high risk
for P transfer into groundwater have become priority management concerns. 相似文献

Fe and Al oxides distribution in some ultisols and inceptisols of southeastern Nigeria in relation to soil total phosphorus 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Ten highly weathered soils in southeastern Nigeria were sampled from their typical A and B horizons for analyses. The objectives
were to determine the different forms of Fe and Al oxides in the soils and relating their occurrence to phosphate availability
and retention in the soils. The soils are deep and often physically degraded but are well drained and coarse in the particle
size distribution. They are mostly dominated by kaolinite in their mineralogy with very high values of SiO2. The soils are acidic with low soil organic carbon (SOC) contents. The elements in the exchange complex are also low thus
reflecting in the low CEC of the soil. Available phosphorus (P) in the soils are generally low while total P ranged from 157
to 982 mg kg−1 with an overall average of 422 mg kg−1. Total Fe in the soil is highest and their order represented as follows: Fet > Fed > Feox ≥ Fep. The pyrophosphate extractable Fe was always higher in the top soil than in the subsoil and was attributed to the fact that
these forms of Fe are associated with organic matter which is more abundant in topsoil than in subsoil. Like in Fe forms,
the order of Al occurrence could generally be presented as; Alt > Ald > Alox > Alp. More Fe and Al oxides in the soils are strongly crystalline while a small quantity is poorly crystalline Fe forms. The amorphous
forms of both Fe and Al are very low in the soils when compared with the crystalline forms. The oxides that show very strong
affinity to total P are Fed–Feox, Fed, Ald, Fet, Feox and Alox/Ald. To overcome this problem of P retention in the soil, we recommend constant liming of these soils to neutralize them, application
of organic matter and of high dosage of phosphate fertilizer to the soils. 相似文献

This investigation represented the preliminary study to characterize Pt and Pd concentrations and enrichment ratios in urban
roadside soils. Roadside soil samples were analyzed by ICP-MS. Data from 21 roadside topsoil samples show medians of Pt and
Pd concentrations are 2.9 and 2.8 ng g−1, respectively. These values are higher than those of upper crust that average 0.4 and 0.4 ng g−1, respectively. The relatively lower Pt and Pd concentrations are expected due to recent introduction of catalysts to China
compared to the prolonged use of catalysts in Europe. Hierarchical clustering analysis indicates that Pt and Pd in Xuzhou
urban roadside soils were mainly from the traffic emissions. Computation of enrichment ratios using the upper crust values
as background levels suggests that the roadside soils had enrichment medians of 6.4 for Pt (range 2.5–11.75) and of 6.75 for
Pd (range 2.75–9.25). Lower Pt/Pd ratios (range 0.35–2.86) in relation to similar studies in other countries were observed
due to the different automobile catalytic converters. In general, fine fraction (<250 μm) contains higher Pt and Pd concentrations
compared to the coarse fraction (250–500 μm). 相似文献

Coal handling, crushing, washing, and other processes of coal beneficiation liberate coal particulate matter, which would
ultimately contaminate the nearby soils. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the status of soil bio-indicators
in the surroundings of a coal beneficiation plant, (in relation to a control site). The coal beneficiation plant is located
at Sudamudih, and the control site is 5 km away from the contaminated site, which is located in the colony of Central Institute
of Mining and Fuel Research Institute, Digwadih, Dhanbad. In order to estimate the impact of coal deposition on soil biochemical
characteristics and to identify the most sensitive indicator, soil samples were taken from the contaminated and the control
sites, and analyzed for soil organic carbon (SOC), soil N, soil basal respiration (BSR), substrate-induced respiration (SIR),
and soil enzymes like dehydrogenase (DHA), catalase (CAT), phenol oxidase (PHE), and peroxidase (PER). Coal deposition on
soils improved the SOC from 10.65 to 50.17 g kg−1, CAT from 418.1 to 804.11 μg H2O2 g−1 h−1, BSR from 8.5 to 36.15 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1, and SIR from 24.3 to 117.14 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1. Soils receiving coal particles exhibited significant decrease in DHA (36.6 to 4.22 μg TPF g−1 h−1), PHE (0.031 to 0.017 μM g−1 h−1), PER (0.153 to 0.006 μM g−1 h−1), and soil N (55.82 to 26.18 kg ha−1). Coal depositions significantly (P < 0.01) decreased the DHA to 8.8 times, PHE to 1.8 times, and PER to 25.5 times, but increased the SOC to 4.71 times, CAT
to 1.9 times, SIR to 4.82 times, and BSR to 4.22 times. Based on principal component analysis and sensitivity test, soil peroxidase
(an enzyme that plays a vital role in the degradation of the aromatic organic compounds) is found to be the most important
indicator that could be considered as biomarkers for coal-contaminated soils. 相似文献

Sixteen soil samples were collected from the vicinity of an abandoned lead–zinc mine in Shangyu City, eastern China, and the
heavy-metal speciation and wheat phytotoxicity in the soils were studied. The results showed that the concentrations of free
Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ were highly variable and ranged from <0.01 to 0.32, 0.06 to 10.62, <0.01 to 1.40 and 0.02 to 37.10 μmol l−1, respectively. The concentrations of soluble Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb ranged from 0.38 to 3.24, 0.72 to 78.74, <0.01 to 1.95 and
0.15 to 639.34 μmol l−1, respectively. The general trend of mean solid/liquid partition coefficient and percentage of free metal ion to total soluble
metal concentration were Cu > Pb > Zn > Cd and Cd > Zn > Cu > Pb, respectively. Stepwise multiple linear regression with pH,
log(total metal) and log(organic matter) showed that log(total metal) was an important factor that controlled log(free metal
ion) and log(soluble metal). Of the variability in log(free Cu2+), log(free Cd2+) and log(free Pb2+), 55.2, 58.6 and 64.3% could be explained by log(total Cu), log(total Cd) and log(total Pb) alone, respectively. Of the variability
in log(soluble Cu) and log(soluble Cd), 77.1 and 72.5% could be explained by log(total Cu) and log(total Cd) alone, respectively.
Wheat root length was controlled by the various metals with different free and soluble concentrations, and 99.2% of the variability
in root length could be explained by concentrations of free and soluble Pb, soluble Cu and total Zn in the soils. 相似文献

Drought is a great concern in agricultural production, because it restricts normal plant growth, brings about enormous economic
loss and deteriorates ecological environment. Proper use of super absorbent polymers (SAP) is helpful in the agricultural
and horticultural industry in arid and semi-arid areas, because SAP can ease the burden of water shortage. Because porosity
is one of the most important soil physical properties, it is a priority to study SAP to quantitatively express the swelling
of watered SAP-treated soil. This study was aimed to evaluate the bulk density curve of watered SAP-treated soil and to construct
and test the model for porosity change of watered SAP-treated soil. The results showed that the application of SAP can reduce
soil bulk density, improve soil permeability and cause soil swelling. In addition, using three factors, i.e., water content,
change in swelling ratio and SAP application rate, the paper constructed a model for porosity change of watered SAP-treated
soil, which is {ln[(P

Terra rossa and eutric cambisol soils were surveyed in Slovenia. At both sites, 6–13 boreholes were drilled in a regular 24 m × 24 m
square grid. Soil samples from various depths were taken for gamma spectrometric analysis, and radon in soil gas was measured
at a depth of 80 cm using an AlphaGuard instrument. The following ranges of activity concentration (Bq kg−1) were obtained for 238U, 226Ra, 228Ra, 40K and 137Cs: in terra rossa, 64–74, 70–84, 45–49, 293–345, 20–30 and, in eutric cambisol, 55–80, 132–147, 50–57, 473–529, 106–272.
Radon activity concentrations in both soils ranged from about 100 kBq m−3 to 370 kBq m−3. 相似文献

To determine the appropriate allocation of resources for the future restoration of the abandoned mining district of Kangwon
in Korea, identification of the main pollutants and the main sources discharging these pollutants is crucial. Therefore, a
2-year study was undertaken to quantify the amount of pollutants in the Uchen stream (a potential sink for contamination),
which runs through the district, and to determine the potential sources of these pollutants, including mine drainage and soil.
Arsenic (As) was the main pollutant in mine drainage and soils showing concentrations above the Korean regulated standard
levels of 50 μg L−1 and 50 mg kg−1 for water and soil, respectively. In addition, the pollution index (PI) showed that mine drainages were polluted by As to
a moderate (2 ≤ PI < 3) or strong (4 ≤ PI < 5) degree. Consequently, As load in mine drainage and soil contributed to increased
amounts of As in the stream. The As loads in mine drainages (11 and 587 g month−1 for mine adit 1 and 2, respectively) accounted for only 9% of the total As load to the stream (6,378 g month−1); and the influence of mine drainages on As contents in the stream was more reliant on the total volume of mine drainage
generated rather than the As concentration in the mine drainage. Approximately 91% of the As in the stream was derived from
the soils within the study area. 相似文献

Questions concerning the influence of soil type and crop cover on the fate and transport of nitrate (NO3−) were examined. During a growing season, soils derived from glacial material underlying either corn or soybeans were sampled
for levels of NO3− within the pore water. Measured levels of NO3− ranged from below detection limit to 14.9 g NO3− per kilogram of soil (g/kg). In fields with the same crop cover, the silty-clayey soil exhibited a greater decrease in NO3− levels with depth than the sandier soil. Crop uptake of NO3− occurs within the root zone; however, the type of crop cover did not have a direct impact on the fate or transport during
the growing season. The soils underlying soybeans had an increase in NO3− levels following harvest, suggesting that the decomposition of the soybean roots contributed to the net gain of NO3− in the shallow soil. For all of the soil types, conditions below 100 cm are conducive for microbial denitrification, with
both a high water saturation level (>60%) and moderate organic carbon content (1–2%). At depths below 100 cm, temporal differences
in NO3− levels of over a magnitude, up to a 95% reduction, were recorded in the soil units as the growing season progressed. Physical
properties that control the transport of NO3− or denitrification have a larger influence on NO3− levels than crop type.

The Sarcheshmeh copper mine smelter plant is one of the biggest copper producers in Iran. Long-time operation of about 25 years
of the smelter plant causes release of potentially toxic heavy metals into the environment. In this paper, geochemical distribution
of toxic heavy metals in 28 soil samples was evaluated around the Sarcheshmeh smelter plant. Soils developed over the nonmineralized
and uncontaminated areas have an average background concentration of 41.25 mg kg−1 Cu, 26.6 mg kg−1 As, 12.7 mg kg−1 Pb, 0.9 mg kg−1 Sb, 1.9 mg kg−1 Mo, 1.7 mg kg−1 Sn, 0.2 mg kg−1 Cd, 0.15 mg kg−1 Bi, 235 mg kg−1 S and 73.4 mg kg−1 Zn, respectively. As a result of smelting process, the upper soil layers (0–5 cm) were polluted by Cu (>1,397 mg kg−1), Cd (>3.42 mg kg−1), S (>821 mg kg−1), Mo (>10.3 mg kg−1), Sb (>11.7 mg kg−1), As (>120.6 mg kg−1), Pb (>83.8 mg kg−1), Zn (>214.9 mg kg−1), and Sn (>3.7 mg kg−1), respectively. These values are much higher than the normal concentration of the elements in the uncontaminated soil layers.
The elemental values decrease with distance travelled away of the smelter plant, especially at minimum wind direction. Furthermore,
high contaminated values of Cu (8,430 mg kg−1), As (500 mg kg−1), Pb (331 mg kg−1), Mo (61 mg kg−1), Sb (56.2 mg kg−1), Zn (664 mg kg−1), Cd (17.2 mg kg−1), Bi (13.4 mg kg−1), and S (3,780 mg kg−1) were observed in the upper soil layers close to the smelting waste dumps. Sequential extraction analysis shows that about
270 mg kg−1 Cu, 28 mg kg−1 Pb, 50.33 mg kg−1 Zn, and 47.84 mg kg−1 As were adsorbed by Fe and Mn oxides. The carbonate phases include 151 mg kg−1 Cu, 28 mg kg−1 Pb, 25 mg kg−1 Zn, and 32.99 mg kg−1 As. Organic matter adsorbed 314.6 mg kg−1 Cu and 29.18 mg kg−1 Zn. 相似文献

Though irrigation with sewage water has potential benefits of meeting the water requirements, the sewage irrigation may mess
up to harm the soil health. To assess the potential impacts of long-term sewage irrigation on soil health and to identify
sensitive soil indicators, soil samples were collected from crop fields that have been irrigated with sewage water for more
than 20 years. An adjacent rain-fed Leucaena leucocephala plantation system was used as a reference to compare the impact of sewage irrigation on soil qualities. Soils were analyzed
for different physical, chemical, biological and biochemical parameters. Results have shown that use of sewage for irrigation
improved the clay content to 18–22.7%, organic carbon to 0.51–0.86% and fertility status of soils. Build up in total N was
up to 2,713 kg ha−1, available N (397 kg ha−1), available P (128 kg ha−1), available K (524 kg ha−1) and available S (65.5 kg ha−1) in the surface (0.15 m) soil. Long-term sewage irrigation has also resulted a significant build-up of DTPA extractable Zn
(314%), Cu (102%), Fe (715%), Mn (197.2), Cd (203%), Ni (1358%) and Pb (15.2%) when compared with the adjacent rain-fed reference
soil. Soils irrigated with sewage exhibited a significant decrease in microbial biomass carbon (−78.2%), soil respiration
(−82.3%), phosphatase activity (−59.12%) and dehydrogenase activity (−59.4%). An attempt was also made to identify the sensitive
soil indicators under sewage irrigation, where microbial biomass carbon was singled out as the most sensitive indicator. 相似文献

Phytoplankton Biomass and Production in Subtropical Hong Kong Waters: Influence of the Pearl River Outflow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and primary production were investigated in four contrasting areas of Hong Kong
waters in 2006. Phytoplankton biomass and production varied seasonally in response to the influence of the Pearl River discharge.
In the dry season, the phytoplankton biomass and production were low (<42 mg chl m−2 and <1.8 g C m−2 day−1) in all four areas, due to low temperatures and dilution and reduced light availability due to strong vertical mixing. In
contrast, in the wet season, in the river-impacted western areas, the phytoplankton biomass and production increased greater
than five-fold compared to the dry season, especially in summer. In summer, algal biomass was 15-fold higher than in winter,
and the mean integrated primary productivity (IPP) was 9 g C m−2 day−1 in southern waters due to strong stratification, high temperatures, light availability, and nutrient input from the Pearl
River estuary. However, in the highly flushed western waters, chl a and IPP were lower (<30 mg m−2 and 4 g C m−2 day−1, respectively) due to dilution. The maximal algal biomass and primary production occurred in southern waters with strong
stratification and less flushing. Spring blooms (>10 μg chl a L−1) rarely occurred despite the high chl-specific photosynthetic rate (mostly >10 μg C μg chl a
−1 day−1) as the accumulation of algal biomass was restricted by active physical processes (e.g., strong vertical mixing and freshwater
dilution). Phytoplankton biomass and production were mostly dominated by the >5-μm size fraction all year except in eastern
waters during spring and mostly composed of fast-growing chain-forming diatoms. In the stratified southern waters in summer,
the largest algal blooms occurred in part due to high nutrient inputs from the Pearl River estuary. 相似文献

Soil nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium concentrations accurately revealed spatial distribution maps and site-specific management-prone
areas through inverse distance weighting (IDW) method in the Amik Plain, Turkey. Spatial mapping of soil nitrogen, phosphorous,
and potassium is a very severe need to develop an economically and environmentally sound soil management plans. The objectives
of this study were (a) to map spatial variability of total N, available P, and exchangeable-K content of Amik Plain’s soils
and (b) to locate problematic areas requiring site specific management strategies for the nutrient elements. Spatial analyses
of Kjeldhal-N, Olsen-P, and exchangeable-K concentrations of the soils were performed by the IDW method. Mean N content for
surface soils (0–20 cm) was 1.38 g kg−1, available P was 28.19 kg ha−1 and exchangeable-K was 690 kg ha−1 with the differences between maximum and minimum being 7.63 g N kg−1, 242 kg P ha−1, and 2,082 kg K ha−1. For the surface soil, site-specific management-prone areas of Kjeldahl-N, Olsen-P, and exchangeable-K for “low and high + very
high” classes were found to be 20.1–17.8%, 24.7–10.0%, and 4.1–39.6%, respectively. Consequently, lands with excessive nutrient
elements require preventive-leaching practices, whereas nutrient-poor areas need fertilizer applications in favor of increasing
plant production. 相似文献

Cesium and Strontium concentrations were analyzed in eight pedogenetic soil profiles developed on different rocks from a semiarid
mediterranean region: La Mancha (Central Spain). Concentration activities of 137Cs and 90Sr, as for some soil properties, were also measured. The results are presented in this document: Cs concentrations range between
0.4 and 18.3 mg kg−1 and Sr varies widely between 11.0 and 3,384 mg kg−1. Therefore, it is clear that there is a broad range of concentrations and there are also values significantly higher than
the average values stated by several authors. Concentrations of long-life artificial radionuclides (137Cs, 90Sr) were determined in some of the same soils. The activity concentration mean values (Bq kg−1) were ranging between 0.82 and 21.76 for 137Cs and 90Sr variations range between 6.73 and 0.35. There were no significant correlations between radionuclides and stable trace elements.
The data indicate that the soils do not show significant radioactivity of these elements and therefore they do not pose a
danger. By the same token, no risk of contamination by this activity was detected. Finally, spatial patterns seem to be affected
by the soil type and some soil properties. 相似文献

Soil hydraulic properties such as soil infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity are closely linked to runoff generation
and infiltration processes but little is known about them on karst hillslopes. The objectives of this paper were to investigate
the change in soil stable infiltration rate (q
s) and near-saturated hydraulic conductivity (K
ns) in different slope positions and to understand their relationship with rock fragment content and soil texture within the
topsoil in subtropical karst regions of southwest China. Tension infiltrometers (20 cm in diameter) were used to measure q
s and K
ns at pressure head of −20 mm on hillslopes 1 (a disintegrated landslide failure) and 2 (an avalanche slope). The change of
q
s and K
ns was great and they mostly had a moderate variability with coefficient of variations (CV) between 0.1 and 1.0 in the different
slope positions. On average, q
s ranged from 0.43 to 4.25 mm/min and K
ns varied from 0.75 to 11.00 mm/min. These rates exceed those of most natural rainfall events, confirming that overland flow
is rare on karst hillslopes. From bottom to top, q
s and K
ns had a decrease–increase–decrease trend due to the presence of large rock outcrops (>2 m in height) on hillslope 1 but had
an increasing trend on hillslope 2 with less complex landform. They tended to increase with increase in total rock fragment
content (5–250 mm) within the topsoil as well as slope gradient on both hillslopes. Pearson correlation analysis suggested
that higher coarse pebble (20–75 mm), cobble (75–250 mm), and sand (2–0.05 mm) contents as well as total rock fragment content
could significantly facilitate water infiltration into soils, but higher clay (<0.002 mm) content could restrict water movement.
This result indicated that rock fragment, sand, and clay contents may remarkably affect water flow in the topsoil layers,
and should be considered in hydrological modeling on karst hillslopes in subtropical regions. 相似文献

The generation of massive volume of slimes from sand mining industry ascertains the need for effective waste treatment. The
application of slimes in landfill barrier construction works has been identified as one of the processes that can be used
to reduce their volume, enabling in this way the rehabilitation of dangerous sites. This article presents a modified triaxial
cell specially built to investigate high water content soils and discusses the results obtained from the investigation of
the hydraulic properties of two slimes. The results of laboratory filter cake tests show that the slimes have reasonably good
sealing capacities due to the formation of a cake layer on other porous materials upon draining. A relatively low hydraulic
conductivity (1.5–3 × 10−9 m/s) was achieved, once the cake layer was formed. This is close to the prescribed 1 × 10−9 m/s required by the local environmental governmental authority for a landfill hydraulic barrier material, indicating their
potential suitability as landfill barrier. 相似文献
