Application of nanoparticle of rock phosphate and biofertilizer in increasing some soil chemical characteristics of variable charge soil

The feasibility and effectiveness of treating pollutants in slightly polluted raw water by variable charge soil and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was investigated. Removal efficiencies of turbidity, phenol, aniline, algae and heavy metals (Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+) were used to evaluate the coagulation performance. The results indicated that the addition of variable charge soil as a coagulant aid is advantageous due to the improvement of removal efficiencies. The tests also demonstrated that the presence of variable charge soil increased the removal of turbidity rather than adding residuary turbidity. The use of variable charge soil produced settleable flocs of greater density and bigger size. The main mechanism involved in the PAC coagulation was supposed to be sweep flocculation as well as charge-neutralization. Variable charge soil played a promoted aid role by adsorption in the enhanced coagulation process. It is concluded that the enhanced coagulation by PAC and variable charge soil, as coagulant and adsorbent, is more effective and efficient than traditional coagulation.

Soil Colloids

The effect of phosphate adsorption on zeta potential of the colloids of variable charge soils and the effect of ionic strength on phosphate adsorption by the soils were investigated using batch experimental method. The presence of phosphate resulted in the decrease in zeta potential and isoelectric point (IEP) of the colloids of the soils, which further suggested that the phosphate was adsorbed specifically by these soils. The effect of phosphate adsorption on zeta potential was correlated with the content of free Fe/Al oxides in the soils; the higher the content of Fe/Al oxides in a soil the greater was the decrease in zeta potential and IEP of the soil colloids. The intersection of phosphate adsorption–pH curves at different ionic strengths (a characteristic pH) was obtained for 2 Oxisols. Above this pH, the adsorption of phosphate increased with increasing ionic strength, whereas below it the reverse trend occurred. The intersect pH was 4.60 for the Oxisol from Guangdong and 4.55 for the Oxisol from Yunnan, which was lower than the values of PZSE (point of zero salt effect) of these soils, but near the PZNC (point of zero net charge) of the soils. The effects of ionic strength and pH on phosphate adsorption by these soils were interpreted with the help of an adsorption model developed previously by Bowden et al. The results of zeta potential suggested that the potential in an adsorption plane became less negative with increasing ionic strength above the soil PZNC and decreased with increasing ionic strength below the soil PZNC. These results support the hypothesis of the adsorption model that the potential in the adsorption plane changed with ionic strength with an opposite trend to the surface charge of these soils. The phosphate adsorption by these soils was related not only to the ionic strength but also to the types of electrolytes present. K+ induced a greater increase in phosphate adsorption than Na+ due to the greater affinity of the soils to K+ than Na+.

ABSTRACTThe effect of particle nano volcanic ash and rock phosphate on variable charge or zero point of charge (pH0) and soil acidity of AndisolsThis experiment aimed to find out the effect of particle nano volcanic ash and rock phosphate on variable charge or zero point of charge (pH0) and soil acidity of Andisols from Ciater Subang-West Java. This experiment was conducted from October 2016 to March 2017 at Soil fertility and Plant Nutrition Laboratory and Physic Soil Laboratory of Soil Science and Land Resources Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design consisted of two factors. The first factor was particle of nano volcanic ash consisted of 4 levels. The second factor was particle of nano rock phosphate consisted of 4 levels and 3 replications. The results showed that there was no interaction between nano particle of volcanic ash and rock on zero point of charge (pH0), but there was interaction effect on pH-H2O. Combination of 2.5% nano particle of volcanic ash and 0% nano particle of rock phosphate could reduce the value of zero point of charge (pH0) as much 28.57%. Combination of 5% volcanic ash nano particle and 7.5% rock phosphate nano particle dosage was the best treatment and could increase the value of soil acidity or pH-H2O until 20.36%.Keywords: Andisol, pHο, Rock phosphate, Volcanic ashABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh partikel nano abu vulkanik dan batuan fosfat terhadap muatan variable atau titik muatan nol (pH0) dan kemasaman tanah Andisols Ciater Subang-Jawa Barat.
