Temperature effect on the transport of bromide and E. coli NAR in saturated soils
چکیده انگلیسی


- Transport of bacteria and bromide in repaired soil columns were studied.
- Pore networks in weathered columns led to accelerated bacteria and solute movement.
- Breakthrough sequence justified the preferential flow in the weathered columns.
- Leaching with cold water (5 °C) led to higher bacterial filtration for both soils.
- BTCs were well described by the mobile-immobile model (MIM) in HYDRUS-1D.

SummaryIn this study we investigated the transport of nalidixic acid-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli NAR) and bromide (Br−) through two soils, a sandy loam (SL) and clay loam (CL). Soils were repacked in columns (45 cm length × 22 cm diameter) and subjected to physical (freeze/thaw, and wet/dry cycles) and biological (by earthworms, Eisenia fetida) weathering for 12 months. Saturated flow conditions were maintained using a tension infiltrometer. Tests were carried out at either 5 or 20 °C. After steady-state flow conditions were established, a suspension containing E. coli NAR and Br− was sprayed onto the surface of soil columns. Leachate was sampled at three depths, 15, 30 and 45 cm. Time to maximum concentration (Cmax) of E. coli NAR was greater for SL at all depths. Both tracers had rapid breakthrough curves (BTCs) shortly after the suspension injection followed by prolonged tailing indicating the presence of preferential pathways and thus soil heterogeneity regenerated after the induced physical and biological weathering. About 40% of the E. coli NAR and 79% of the Br− leached through the entire 45 cm soil columns during the experiments. Leaching with cold water (5 °C) led to lower hydraulic conductivity and flow rate and consequently enhanced bacterial filtration for both soils. Very low values for the detachment coefficient for E. coli NAR at 5 °C suggest an irreversible process of bacterial attachment in heterogeneous soils. BTCs were well described by the mobile-immobile model (MIM) in HYDRUS-1D. Soil texture/structure and temperature had a significant effect on the model's fitted parameters.
