The objective of this research was to evaluate the contaminant potential of the leachate from soils treated with increasing doses of biosolids. The experiment was carried out in protected cultivation in clayey (Eutrophic RED LATOSOL) and sandy texture (Dystrophic YELLOW RED LATOSOL) soils. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments, six repetitions and two soil types: T1 - absence of biosolids, T2-T6, respectively 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 ton ha-1 of biosolids. The vessels (leaching column) were made by PVC tubes 0.50 m high and 0.10 m in diameter at its base is adapted a perforated PVC cap for collecting the leached material. Each column was filled with 3,141.6 cm3 soil (sandy or clayey), of which the amounts of biosolid. After... |
