Abstract EN
Both soil organic matter and sulfur (S) can reduce or even suppress mercury (Hg) mobility and bioavailability in soil.
A batch incubation experiment was conducted with a Chernozem and a Luvisol artificially contaminated by 440 mg·kg−1 Hg showing wide differences in their physicochemical properties and available nutrients.
The individual treatments were (i) digestate from the anaerobic fermentation of biowaste; (ii) fly ash from wood chip combustion; and (iii) ammonium sulfate, and every treatment was added with the same amount of S.
The mobile Hg portion in Chernozem was highly reduced by adding digestate, even after 1 day of incubation, compared to control.
Meanwhile, the outcome of these treatments was a decrease of mobile Hg forms as a function of incubation time whereas the contents of magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and phosphorus (P) were stimulated by the addition of digestate in both soils.
The available calcium (Ca) contents were not affected by the digestate addition.
The experiment proved digestate application as the efficient measure for fast reduction of mobile Hg at extremely contaminated soils.
Moreover, the decrease of the mobile mercury portion was followed by improvement of the nutrient status of the soils.
