Organic and inorganic amendment application on mercury-polluted soils: effects on soil chemical and biochemical properties
Original language description
We have compared the effectiveness of organic and inorganic amendments such as digestate and fly ash, reducing the Hg mobility in two soils differing in their physicochemical properties. The soils were artificially contaminated with Hg and incubated. The presence of Hg in soils negatively affected to processes such as nitrification, provoked a decline in the microbial activities. The digestate addition to soils improved the soil chemical properties as consequence of high content in C and N contained in digestate. The soil microbial activities were greatly enhanced by the digestate application, whereas fly ash did not have a remarkable positive effect. These results may indicate that the use of organic amendments such as digestate considerably improved the soil health in soils compared with fly ash, alleviating the detrimental impact of Hg. Probably, the chemical properties present in digestate may determine its use as a suitable amendment for the assisted-natural attenuation of mercury-polluted soils
