Sewage sludge may be used as an agricultural fertilizer, but the practice has been criticized because sludge may contain trace elements and pathogens. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of total and pseudototal extractants of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, and to compare the results with the bioavailable concentrations of these elements to maize and sugarcane in a soil that was amended with sewage sludge for 13 consecutive years and in a separate soil that was amended a single time with sewage sludge and composted sewage sludge. The 13-year amendment experiment involved 3 rates of sludge (5, 10, and 20 t ha-1). The one-time amendment experiment involved treatments reflecting 50, 100, and 200 % of values stipulated by current legislation. The metal concentrations extracted by aqua regia (AR) were more similar to those obtained by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 3052 than to those obtained by EPA3051, and the strongest correlation was observed between pseudo(total) concentrations extracted by AR and EPA3052 and bioavailable concentrations obtained by Mehlich III. An effect of sewage sludge amendment on the concentrations of heavy metals was only observed in samples from the 13-year experiment. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

In this paper, we report on a field experiment being carried out in a Typic Eutrorthox. The experiment was initiated in the 1997-98 agricultural season as a randomized block design with four treatments (0, 5, 10, and 20 t ha -1) of sewage sludge and five replicates. Compound soil samples were obtained from 20 subsamples collected at depths of 0-0.1 and 0.1-0.2 m. Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations were extracted with DTPA pH 7.3; 0.1 mol L -1 HCl, Mehlich-I, Mehlich-III, and 0.01 mol L-1 CaCl 2. Metal concentrations were determined via atomic absorption spectrometry. Diagnostic leaves and the whole above-ground portion of plants were collected to determine Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations extracted by nitric-perchloric digestion and later determined via atomic absorption spectrometry. Sewage sludge application caused increases in the concentrations of soil Cu, Fe, and Mn in samples taken from the 0-0.1 m depth evaluated by the extractants Mehlich-I, Mehlich-III, 0.01 mol L-1 HCl and DTPA pH 7.3. None of the extractants provided efficient estimates of changes in Mn concentrations. The acid extractants extracted more Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn than the saline and chelating solutions. The highest concentrations of Cu, Fe, and Zn were obtained with Mehlich-III, while the highest concentrations of Mn were obtained with HCl. We did not observe a correlation between the extractants and the concentrations of elements in the diagnostic leaves nor in the tissues of the whole maize plant (Zea mays L.). © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Várias toneladas de rejeito de manganês contendo arsênio, gerado por uma empresa de mineração, foram utilizadas como aterro de ruas da cidade de Santana-AP. A possibilidade de exposição das pessoas residentes nessas localidades levou ao estudo de quantificação de arsênio total nos solos. Após a digestão, os teores de arsênio foram quantificados por espectrofotometria de absorção molecular usando um sistema automático de geração de hidretos (HG-MAS), diciclohexilamina/CHCl3 como solvente do dietilditiocarbamato de prata (SDDC) e KBH4 como redutor. O método apresentou bons resultados com sensibilidade (ε) de 1,10 104 L.mol-1.cm-1, estabilidade de 2,96% e outras vantagens em relação ao método oficial. O método foi aplicado em amostras de referência de solo com recuperação de 98,82 % (N=10). As análises de solos mostraram que do total de amostras analisadas 94,74 % apresentaram concentração de arsênio acima do valor editado pela CETESB para solo residencial (50 mg.kg-1) com valor médio de 682,96 mg.kg-1, variando de 48,08 mg.kg-1 a 1.713,00 mg.kg-1 que comprova a contaminação do solo pelo arsênio.
