Abstract: |
In order to understand the effect of biochar derived from corn cob and sludge in the saline-sodic soil improvement, we conducted a experiment to determine the effect of the biochar prepped under different temperatures on physical and chemical properties of saline soil and the availability of heavy metals. The biochar was prepared from corn cob and sludge treated at 300~500℃ before application to soil. The microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscope. The results showed that biochar had more developed microstructure and greater specific surface area than corn cob and sludge. With increasing amount of biochar applied, the content of organic carbon in the saline soil was significantly improved by 3.66~10.13 times and the water soluble salt was decreased by 5.06 g·kg-1. However, the total N and P and available P and K were slightly changed. With increasing the amount of biochar, CEC in the saline soil was significantly improved by 3~9.25 times and soluble salts decreased significantly while soil pH was slightly lowered. Therefore, it is concluded that biochar application in the saline-sodic soil can effectively reduce the availability of heavy metals and the effectiveness increased with increasing the application rate. |
