  • sorption desorption behavior of pesticides and their degradation products in volcanic and nonvolcanic soils interpretation of interactions through two way principal component analysis
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: María E. Báez, Jeannette Espinoza, Ricardo Silva, Edwar Fuentes
    Abstract:

    Sorption-desorption behavior of six pesticides and some degradation products was assessed on seven agricultural volcanic and nonvolcanic soils belonging to Andisol, Ultisol, Mollisol, and Alfisol orders. The global interpretation of sorption data was performed by principal component analysis. Results showed exceptionally high sorption of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) (the breakdown product) on volcanic soils (Kf > 1500 μg1 − 1 / n mL1 / n g−1) related mainly to contents of amorphous aluminum oxides (Andisols) and crystalline minerals (Ultisols). The lower sorption on nonvolcanic soils was associated to low organic matter contents and lack of significant minerals. Metsulfuron-methyl and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (metabolite of chlorpyrifos) were weakly to substantially sorbed on Andisols and Ultisols, but the first one was not sorbed at pH > 6.4, including nonvolcanic soils. The metabolite of diazinon, 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine, was weakly sorbed on all soils (Kf = 0.4 to 3.6 μg1 − 1 / n mL1 / n g−1). Acidic compounds would be lixiviated in Mollisols and Alfisols, but they could leach also in Andisols and Ultisols if they reach greater depths. Atrazine and deethylatrazine sorption was related to organic carbon content; therefore, they were weakly retained on nonvolcanic soils (Kf = 0.7 to 2.2 μg1 − 1 / n mL1 / n g−1). Chlorpyrifos was highly sorbed on all soils reaching KOC values of >8000. Finally, the significant retention of chlorothalonil and diazinon on Mollisols and Alfisols in spite of their low OC contents showed the contribution of clay minerals in the sorption process.

  • characterization of the atrazine sorption process on andisol and Ultisol volcanic ash derived soils kinetic parameters and the contribution of humic fractions
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013
    Co-Authors: María E. Báez, Edwar Fuentes, Jeannette Espinoza
    Abstract:

    Atrazine sorption was studied in six Andisol and Ultisol soils. Humic and fulvic acids and humin contributions were established. Sorption on soils was well described by the Freundlich model. Kf values ranged from 2.2–15.6 μg1–1/nmL1/ng–1. The relevance of humic acid and humin was deduced from isotherm and kinetics experiments. KOC values varied between 221 and 679 mLg–1 for these fractions. Fulvic acid presented low binding capacity. Sorption was controlled by instantaneous equilibrium followed by a time-dependent phase. The Elovich equation, intraparticle diffusion model, and a two-site nonequilibrium model allowed us to conclude that (i) there are two rate-limited phases in Andisols related to intrasorbent diffusion in organic matter and retarded intraparticle diffusion in the organo–mineral complex and that (ii) there is one rate-limited phase in Ultisols attributed to the mineral composition. The lower organic matter content of Ultisols and the slower sorption rate and mechanisms involved must be cons...

  • modeling the sorption kinetic of metsulfuron methyl on andisols and Ultisols volcanic ash derived soils kinetics parameters and solute transport mechanisms
    Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lizethly Caceres, Edwar Fuentes, Mauricio Escudey, María E. Báez
    Abstract:

    Metsulfuron-methyl sorption kinetic was studied in Andisol and Ultisol soils in view of their distinctive physical and chemical properties: acidic pH and variable surface charge. Different kinetic models were applied to the experimental results. The pseudo-second-order model fitted sorption kinetics data better than the pseudo-first-order model. The rate constant and the initial rate constant values obtained through this model demonstrated the different behavior of metsulfuron-methyl in both kinds of soils, both parameters being the highest for Andisol. The application of Elovich equation, intraparticle diffusion model and a two-site nonequilibrium model (TSNE) allowed to conclude that: (i) the high organic matter content is the governing factor for Andisols where mass transfer across the boundary layer, and in a lesser degree, intraparticle diffusion were the two processes controlling sorption kinetic and (ii) the mineral composition was more relevant in Ultisols where rate was controlled almost exclusively by intraparticle diffusion into macropores and micropores. The slower sorption rate on Ultisols, the mechanism involved and the lower sorption capacity of this kind of soils must be taken into account to assess leaching behavior of this herbicide.

  • metsulfuron methyl sorption desorption behavior on volcanic ash derived soils effect of phosphate and ph
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lizethly Caceres, Edwar Fuentes, Mauricio Escudey, Roxana Fuentes, María E. Báez
    Abstract:

    Metsulfuron-methyl sorption/desorption behavior was studied through batch sorption experiments in three typical volcanic ash-derived soils belonging to Andisol and Ultisol orders. Their distinctive physical and chemical properties are acidic pH and variable surface charge. Organic matter content and mineral composition affected in different ways sorption of metsulfuron-methyl (KOC ranging from 113 to 646 mL g -1 ): organic matter and iron and aluminum oxides mainly through hydrophilic rather than hydrophobic interactions in Andisols, and Kaolinite group minerals, as major constituents of Ultisols, and iron and aluminum oxides only through hydrophilic interactions. The Freundlich model described metsulfuron-methyl behavior in all cases (R 2 > 0.992). Kf values (3.1-14.4 μg 1-1/n mL 1/n g -1 ) were higher than those reported for different class of soils including some with variable charge. Hysteresis was more significant in Ultisols. A strong influence of pH and phosphate was established for both kinds of soil, intensive soil fertilization and liming being the most probable scenario for leaching of metsulfuron-methyl, particularly in Ultisols.

  • adsorption of glyphosate on variable charge volcanic ash derived soils
    Journal of Environmental Quality, 2009
    Co-Authors: L Caceresjensen, María E. Báez, Jianying Gan, Romulo Fuentes, Mauricio Escudey
    Abstract:

    Glyphosate (N-phosphonometylglycine) is widely used due to its broad spectrum of activity and nonselective mode of action. In Chile it is the most used herbicide, but its adsorption behavior in the abundant and widespread variable charge soils is not well understood. In this study, three volcanic ash-derived soils were selected, including Andisols (Nueva Braunau and Diguillin) and Ultisols (Collipulli), to evaluate the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms, and the effect of pH in glyphosate adsorption. The influence of glyphosate on soil phosphorus retention was also studied. Glyphosate was rapidly and strongly adsorbed on the selected soils, and adsorption isotherms were well described by the Freundlich relationship with strong nonlinearity (n(fads) < 0.5). The n(fads) values were consistently higher than n(fdes) values, suggesting strong hysteresis. Adsorption (K(ads)) increased strongly when pH decreased. The presence of glyphosate (3200 mug mL(-1)) changed the adsorption behavior of phosphate at its maximum adsorption capacity. Andisol soils without the addition of glyphosate had similar mean K(ads) values for Nueva Braunau (5.68) and Diguillin (7.38). Collipulli had a mean K(ads) value of 31.58. During the successive desorption steps, glyphosate at the highest level increased K(ads) values for phosphate in the Andisol soils but had little effect in the Ultisol soil. This different behavior was probably due to the irreversible occupation of some adsorption sites by glyphosate in the Ultisol soil attributed to the dominant Kaolinite mineral. Results from this study suggest that in the two types of volcanic soils, different mechanisms are involved in glyphosate and phosphate adsorption and that long-term use of glyphosate may impose different effects on the retention and availability of phosphorus. Volcanic ash-derived soils have a particular environmental behavior in relation to the retention of organic contaminants, representing an environmental substrate that may become highly polluted over time due to intensive agronomic uses.

  • nicosulfuron sorption kinetics and sorption desorption on volcanic ash derived soils proposal of sorption and transport mechanisms
    Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020
    Co-Authors: L Caceresjensen, Mauricio Escudey, Jorge Rodriguezbecerra, Jorge Joonagata, Cristian A Villagra, Valentina Dominguezvera, Angelo Neiraalbornoz, Maribel Cornejohuentemilla
    Abstract:

    Abstract Nicosulfuron sorption/desorption kinetics were studied through batch sorption studies in ten volcanic ash-derived Andisol and Ultisol soils with acidic pH and variable surface charge. Two different kinetic models were used to fit the experimental data: i) Models to establish kinetic parameters (Pseudo-First and Pseudo-Second-Order), and ii) Models to describe solute transport mechanisms of organic compounds on sorbents (Intraparticle Diffusion, Dimensionless Intraparticle, Boyd, and Two-Site Nonequilibrium). Sorption kinetic data best fit the pseudo-second-order model. Application of these models to describe solute transport suggests that underlying mechanisms are complex in all soils due to: i) surface sorption, with mass transfers controlling sorption kinetics across the boundary layer; and ii) pore diffusion (i.e. intraparticle diffusion into macropores and micropores). The Freundlich model explained equilibrium sorption data in all cases (R2 > 0.9979) with Kf values higher than those reported for different class of soils (6.85–16.08 μg1-1/n mL1/n  g-1). The hysteresis was significant in all studied soils. The lower sorption rate on Ultisols must be considered in regards to Nicosulfuron leaching potential.

  • Earthworm burrowing activity of two non-Lumbricidae earthworm species incubated in soils with contrasting organic carbon content (Vertisol vs. Ultisol)
    Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2017
    Co-Authors: Nicolas Bottinelli, Hu Zhou, Y. Capowiez, Z. B. Zhang, J. Qiu, Pascal Jouquet, Xinhua Peng
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to investigate the burrowing activity of two earthworm species: the endogeic Drawida sinica and one undescribed Amynthas species incubated inVertisol and Ultisol presenting different soil organic C content. Because of their contrasting feeding behaviours, we hypothesised that soil type would have a bigger influence on the burrowing activity of the endogeic than the anecic species. Repacked soil columns inoculated with earthworms for 30 days were scanned using X-ray tomography and the compiled images used to characterise the burrow systems. After scanning, the saturated hydraulic conductivity (K-sat) was also measured. The Amynthas species burrows were less numerous (30 vs. 180), more vertically oriented (57 vs. 37 degrees), more connected from the surface to the bottom of the columns (73 vs. 5 cm(3)) and had a higher global connectivity index (83 vs. 28%) than those of D. sinica. The K-sat was threefold faster in columns incubated with Amynthas and was linked to the volume of percolating burrows (R-2 = 0.81). The soil type did not influence Amynthas burrow characteristics. In contrast, there were 30% more D. sinica burrows in the Vertisol than in the Ultisol while other burrow characteristics were not affected. This result suggests that these burrows were more refilled with casts leading to shorter and discontinuous burrows. The K-sat was negatively related to the number of burrows (R-2 = 0.44) but was not statistically different between the Vertisol and the Ultisol, suggesting a constant impact of this species on the K-sat. We found that a decrease in the amount of soil organic C by 50% had only a small influence on earthworm burrowing activity and no effect on the K-sat.

  • effect of rainfall kinetic energy on crust formation and interrill erosion of an Ultisol in subtropical china
    Vadose Zone Journal, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hu Zhou, Xinhua Peng, Frederic Darboux
    Abstract:

    Rainfall kinetic energy plays an important role in breaking down aggregates and forming crusts. A laboratory rainfall simulation study was conducted on an Ultisol from subtropical China to investigate the effect of rainfall kinetic energy on crusting, infiltration, runoff, and erosion. Two treatments, that is, high kinetic energy (HKE) and low kinetic energy (LKE), were applied during this study. Air-dried soil was packed in a soil box (50 by 50 cm), and the soil box was subjected to 38 mm h −1 rainfall with three replicates. The runoff, splash, erosion, and percolation were measured during the simulation. For each treatment, an additional soil box was dedicated to sampling the undisturbed soil samples at different time intervals to make thin sections. The entire soil surface was covered by structural or sedimentary crust at the end of the experiment. When compared with the HKE rainfall, the LKE rainfall reduced the direct physical impact of raindrops that disintegrated the soil aggregates and compacted the soil surface; therefore, the LKE preserved the soil infiltration capability and subsequently postulated the formation of crust. This resulted in a higher infiltration rate and greater cumulative infiltration and percolation but lower splash, runoff, and soil erosion in the LKE treatment compared with the HKE treatment. The results show that Ultisols are prone to crusting and that rainfall kinetic energy is a major driver of crust formation. This finding indicates that mulching the soil surface is an effective way to alleviate crusting, to conserve more water, and to reduce erosion.
