Abstract:
Effects of phosphate on the exchangeable form and the bioavailability of exogenous neodymium (Nd) in soil were studied with 147Nd isotopic tracer. Exchangeable Nd was extracted with solution (pH8.2) of NaAc. The results indicated that Nd beyond 99.5% was adsorbed by soil whether phosphate exists in soil or not. Phosphate can precipitate dramatically Nd3+. And the Nd phosphate precipitates may set limits on the concentration of exchangeable Nd observed in soil. KH2PO4 ranging from 0.3 g.kg-1 to 1.5 g.kg-1 make a uniform impact on the exchangeable form of Nd. In addition, phosphate in soil can inhibit wheat seedling to absorb Nd. The concentration of exchangeable Nd is correlated significantly with the content of Nd in wheat seedling.
