Elevation of DOC level due to the direct incorporation of crop residues may lead to enhanced accumulation of toxic metals in crop body grown in polluted farmland. In this study, an incubation experiment and a pot experiment were conducted respectively to investigate the effects of wheat straw incorporation on DOC level, cadmium availability, and Cd accumulation in rice plant, and to establish the relation between Cd solubility and DOC level. A Cd-contaminated rice soil was used and incorporated with different rates (0%, 0.5% and 1%) of wheat straw in both experiments. Results showed that the change pattern of Cd in soil solution was very similar to that of DOC level. Wheat straw addition significantly elevated Cd and DOC level in soil solution while NH4NO3-extrated Cd was not affected. There existed a close linear correlation between soluble Cd and DOC level. Enhanced Cd accumulation in rice plant, grown in a Cd contaminated soil, induced by wheat straw incorporation was observed in this study.展开更多

In this work, heavy metals like lead Pb and copper Cu in the KBr matrix were analyzed using the laser induced breakdown spectroscopic technique. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with 90mJ per pulse operating at the fundamental wavelength of 1064nm and pulse duration of 10 ns was used to generate plasma at the focal region. The important experimental parameters such as the laser energy, integration time, distance between the lens and sample, distance and angle of the optical fiber from the target were optimized. Two spectrometers manufactured by Ocean Optics namely as Maya2000Pro and USB 4000 were employed for anlyzing the spectral lines. The experimental setup and conditions were remained the same for both experiments. The production of spectral lines from each of the interested elements was analyzed and compared with the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) database. The sensitivity, repeatability and limit of detection for each of the systems are discussed in detail.展开更多
