[Influencing Mechanism of Eh, pH and Iron on the Release of Arsenic in Paddy Soil].

The massive release of soil arsenic and its enrichment in rice are significantly associated with the flooded and anaerobic management in paddy soil. Soil redox potential (Eh), pH and iron oxides exert remarkable impacts on arsenic release, which remain to be explored. In this study, long-term aerobic and anaerobic as well as intermittent aerobic incubation treatments were applied to investigate the influences of Eh, pH and iron content on arsenic release.

[Effect of Different Iron Minerals on Bioaccessibility of Soil Arsenic Using Methods].

To explore the effects of different iron minerals on soil arsenic bioaccessibility, ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite were used in PBET, SBRC and IVG in-vitro experiments in this study. The relationship between arsenic bioavailability in gastric, small intestinal phases and arsenic speciation was also studied. The results showed that when 1% ferrihydrite was added, arsenic bioavailability in gastric phase was 2.
