Speciation and quantification of mercury in Oxisol, Ultisol, and Spodosol from Amazon (Manaus, Brazil)
چکیده انگلیسی
In order to investigate the content and distribution of Hg in soils from Amazon areas not impacted by gold mining activities, the concentration and granulometric distribution of Hg were determined in three different types of soils. Hg speciation data were obtained by a thermodesorption atomic spectrometry system and the role of physico-chemical and mineralogical characteristics on Hg content were also studied. Hg concentrations found in the soil fraction <2000 μm were similar to values found in other Amazon areas without anthropogenic sources. The fine fraction (<53 μm) of podzolized soils had a higher Hg content than clayey soils. Multivariate analysis shows that there are marking differences between Spodosols of two distinct areas (fine fraction Hg contents up to 10-fold as high) indicating the importance of pedogenic processes. All statistical data analysis indicated that organic matter plays an important role in Hg accumulation in the types of soils studied. Thermodesorption analysis revealed the presence of only Hg2+, and the predominance of organically bound Hg in the majority of the studied samples.
