OverviewEdited by One of the Best Specialists in Soil Science Recent studies reveal that Phosphorus (P) in the form of phosphate, a macronutrient essential for plant growth, and crop yields can influence the bioavailability, retention, and mobility of trace elements, metal(loid)s, and radio nuclides in soils. When this occurs, phosphates can affect the dynamics of heavy metals and influence soil characteristics, impacting soil mobility and toxicity. Phosphate in Soils: Interaction with Micronutrients, Radionuclides and Heavy Metals utilizes the latest research to emphasize the role that phosphate plays in enhancing or reducing the mobility of heavy metals in soil, and the soil-water-plant environment. It provides an in-depth understanding of each heavy metal species, and expands on phosphate interactions in geological material.Composed of 12 chapters, this text: Provides an overview of the reactions of metal(loid)s and common P compounds that are used as fertilizer in soils Emphasizes the effect of phosphorus on copper and zinc adsorption in acid soils Discusses findings on the influence of phosphate compounds on speciation, mobility, and bioavailability of heavy metals in soils as well as the role of phosphates on in situ and phytoremediation of heavy metals for contaminated soils Places emphasis on the influence of phosphate on various heavy metals species in soils, and their solubility/mobility and availability Provides extensive information on testing various high phosphate materials for remediation of heavy metal, micronutrients, and radionuclides contaminated sites Explores the reactivity of heavy metals, micronutrients and radionuclides elements in several soils Presents a case study illustrating various remediation efforts of acidic soils and remediation of Cu, Zn, and lead (Pb) contaminated soils around nonferrous industrial plants Emphasizes the significance of common ions (cations and anions) on phosphate mobility and sorption in soils, and more The author includes analytical and numerical solutions along with hands-on applications, and addresses other topics that include the transport and sorption modeling of heavy metals in the presence of phosphate at different scales in the vadose zone.

Table of ContentsReviewsDespite decades of research, there is still much to be learned about the reactions and reaction products that occur from the addition of phosphorus to soils. The ramifications are significant and include providing basic phosphorus needs to plants, interactions with other plant essential elements, and interactions with and possible immobilization of contaminants in soils. Phosphate in Soils: Interaction with Micronutrients, Radionuclides and Heavy Metals, edited by H. Magdi Selim, is an excellent summary of state-of-the-art science in this area, with the major emphasis on the interactions between phosphorus and contaminants. Twenty-nine eminent scholars from around the world author or co-author twelve chapters. Readers will benefit from a thorough coverage of the topic, including basic chemistry, mineralogy, and relevant case studies, as well as modeling approaches to various processes. This edited volume will surely become a highly cited source of information for many years. --Gary M. Pierzynski, Kansas State University, Manhattan, USA Author InformationH. Magdi Selim is a professor of soil physics, A. George and Mildred L. Caldwell Endowed Professor, School of Plant, Environmental and Soil Sciences at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge. He received his BS in soil science from Alexandria University, Egypt, and his MS and PhD degrees in soil physics from Iowa State University, Ames. His research lies in the areas of kinetics of reactive chemicals in heterogeneous porous media and transport modeling of dissolved chemicals in water-saturated and -unsaturated soils. He has authored or coauthored numerous scientific publications in several journals, and edited and coauthored several books. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
