The soil nonexchangeable K release was comprised of two first-order kinetic processes. The faster one was ascribed to the interlayer K in outer sphere, while the slower one to that in inner sphere. The rate constants of the soil nonexchageable K were significantly correlated with the amounts of nonexchangeable K extracted with boiling ImL/ L HNO3 for ten minutes. Study on the fitness of different kinetic equations indicated that the first-order, parabolic diffusion and zero-order equations could all describe the release of soil nonexchangeable K. well, but Elovich equation was not suitable to describe it.展开更多
