Nitrate Adsorption: III. Desorption Movement and Distribution in Andepts1

T. Kinjo, P. F. Pratt and A. L. Page2

ABSTRACT

A peak of NO3- accumulation occurred in the 1- to 2-cm depth of an 11-cm soil column when 0.2 meq of KNO3 was applied in sufficient solution (16 ml) to fill the pore space in a column of air-dry San Gregorio soil. Practically no NO3- was found below the 4-cm depth. The greater portion of the NO3- applied was displaced from the soil column by the addition of 3 pore volumes of water. The anion distribution coefficient obtained from a column of San Gregorio soil was 2.2 ml/g and was similar to that obtained from a batch-type method when the soil was in equilibrium with the same concentration of NO3-. The rate of NO3- desorption was described by a first-order reaction equation. The effect of adding SO42- and NO3- in the same column was to increase the rate of movement of NO3-. Sulfate movement was much slower than that of NO3-.
