The reduction rate of Cr(VI) in soils is influenced by soil properties such as organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and soluble manganese. The findings of this study are important for assessing the fate of Cr in soils and understanding the potential risks to the environment and human health.
Chromium (Cr)(VI) is carcinogenic; thus, the excessive presence of Cr(VI) in soils can pose potential risks to water quality, food safety, and human health. The kinetics of Cr(VI) reduction in soils are important for assessing the fate of Cr in the environment. The present study tested physio-chemical and microbial properties in twenty-eight agricultural soils collected in Taiwan to evaluate the relationship between the reduction rate of Cr(VI) and soil properties, using 49-day incubation at 25 degrees C. At the beginning of incubation, 100 mg Cr(VI) kg(-1) was spiked into the soils. The reduction of Cr(VI) was described by first-order kinetics at a significant level (p < 0.05) for the tested soils. The rate constant (k) of Cr(VI) reduction ranged from 0.01 to 4.21 day(-1). In addition, the k value significantly increased with organic carbon (OC) and cation exchange capacity, but significantly decreased with increasing pH and dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate extractable Mn (Mn-d). However, a predictive model using stepwise regression analysis indicated that the k value of the kinetics was controlled by OC, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and Mn-d, thereby identifying the complex interactions between Cr(VI) reduction and soil factors in the humid tropics.
