Chemical forms of heavy metals in the soils and plants of copper tailings yard

Abstract

Abstract: The study on the chemical forms of heavy metals in the soils and plants at the copper tailings yard in Tongling City indicated that the soils were extremely poor,with organic mater content being 2.6～5.8 g·kg^-1,only 1/15 of the control,while their Cu,Cd,Pb and Zn contents were higher than the control,with Cu 809.30～1 395.54 mg·kg^-1 and Cd 3.25～6.35 mg·kg^-1,as 30～60 times as those of the control.The heavy metals contents in Zoysia japonica and Trifolium pratense had a significantly positive correlation with the contents of their exchangeable and organic forms in soils,a significantly or very significantly negative correlation with the forms of Fe-Mn oxides and carbonate,and no correlation with residual form.The main forms of Cu,Zn and Pb in Z.japonica and T.pratense were HAC-and HCl-extractable,and residual.The NaCl-extractable Zn content in the roots,stems and leaves of Z.japonica and T.pratense occupied a higher proportion,while NaCl-extractable Cd was the main form of Cd in both of the plants,not only in their roots but also in their leaves.

Key words: Copper tailings, Heavy metal, Chemical forms, Zoysia japonica, Trifolium pratense
