The Role of Clay Fraction in Retention of Dissolved Organic Carbon in soil

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Three types of soil, differing in their dominant clay mineral (smectite, illite and allophone) and a kaolin samples were compared for retention of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) extracted from vermicompost. The samples were equilibrated with DOC solution (carbon content 200 mg.l-1). The amount of retained DOC was calculated from the difference between the initial and final OC contents. The retention capacity was significantly different among the samples (p<0.01), being 47, 40, 18, 7 mg adsorbed dissolved organic carbon/g clay respectively for smectite, allophane, illite and kaolin samples. The Smectite sample was recognized as superior one in dissolved organic carbon retention, suggesting that the layered clay minerals possibly had more capacity for DOC retention.
