Abstract

Boron adsorption onto lime soil from Balıkesir University campus was studied to evaluate the effects of irrigation water cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+) and soil clays (kaolinite, montmorillonite, clinoptilolite clays). The concentrations for cations and boron were in the range of 0-1,450 mg/L and 0-700 mg/L, respectively. The experimental maximum boron capacity for cation effect was 0.764 mg/g and this value was seen to obtain at high cation and middle boron concentration (304.49 mg/L) in optimization graph. The maximum experimental boron capacity for clay effect was 1.08 mg/g and this value was obtained from optimization graph at 0.5828 g clinoptilolite, 0.1936 g montmorillonite, 0.5852 g kaolinite amounts. The borated-soil samples were successfully phytoremediated with potato plant and maximum intake of boron by the potato plant was 2,304.8 mg/kg plant. The plant dry weights decreased by increasing soil boron concentration and the potato plants did not grow at 203.56, 303.56, 403.56 mg/kg boron concentrations exhibiting toxic effects for potato plant. The studied soil concentrations for phytoremediation was 3.56, 13.56, 23.56, 33.56, 43.56, 53.56, 103.56, 203.56, 303.56, and 403.56 mg/kg boron.
