Abstract Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element for plants as it increases their resistance to several biotic and abiotic stresses. In the rhizosphere, root exudates, especially when released by nutritionally stressed plants, promote mineral weathering and, consequently, influence Si biogeochemistry. This study aims at evaluating mineralogical alterations in rhizosphere of Fe‐deficient or Fe‐sufficient barley grown either natural an artificial calcareous soil, focusing on dynamics both Fe Si....

This study deals with the process of zeolite formation in an agricultural soil artificially polluted by high amounts Cu (15 mg Cu/g dry weight) and treated fused coal fly ash at 30 60 °C how this affects mobility availability metal. As a consequence treatment, amount dissolved Cu, thus its mobility, was strongly reduced, percentage metal stabilized solid phase increased over time, reaching values 30% 40% °C. The physicochemical phenomena responsible for stabilization have been evaluated EDTA...
A clean and cheap procedure for the synthesis of zeolites is presented, using glass aluminum wastes as starting materials. The products are aluminosilicate materials with a high cation exchange capacity (CEC: 259–389.5 meq/100 g) containing 25–30% crystalline zeolites. Since synthesized free potentially toxic elements, they could be safely used environmental agricultural applications. More specifically, material 30% zeolite has been at 60°C in one week, NaOH mineralizing agent. About 15%...
Abstract Mineralogical, geochemical and grain‐size composition of soil pore‐water chemistry parameters were characterized on both eroded (south‐facing) non‐eroded (north‐facing) clayey‐silt slopes in the Basilicata region (southern Italy). Only a few clay mineralogy discriminate from substrates. Compared with latter, former have fractions over 63 µm 1–4 lower 4–63 higher. Grain‐size characters crusts did not respect to substrate. Bulk rock was distinctive, but mineral assemblage shows that...
