In this study, two amendments, poultry waste and ammonium nitrate, were evaluated to condition and stabilize a mine tailing and thus help the vegetation cover settle. Individually, ammonium nitrate was tested as a nitrogen source and chicken bone ash as a phosphate source. For this, laboratory tests were made on soil columns from the area to be remediated. The mobility and availability of metals and nutrients were determined by analyzing their leachates chemically. The results showed that the use of chicken bone ash decreases soluble metal concentrations, particularly in Fe and soluble Mn. On the other hand, experimental conditions proved that the acidification produced by ammonium nitrate nitrification does not significantly increase the lechate metal content. Therefore, its use for fertilization does not involve phytotoxicity risks. Regarding the availability of macronutrients as well as trace elements, the results showed that the concentrations lie within the ranges suitable for plant nutrition. So, the treatments are effective both for fertilization and phytoremediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
