Abstract
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 120%; text-decoration: none;" lang="pt-BR" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In order to evaluate the dynamics of Zn and Pb in the soil, a greenhouse experiment was set up in pots filled with soil samples (Typic Hapludox) treated with increasing doses of iron smelting residues. It was set under a completely randomized design, in a 3×5 factorial scheme, with three replications, combining three iron smelting residues (mill scale, filter press mud, and phosphate mud), with five doses for each residue (0 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 1 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 2 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 4 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, and 8 t ha<sup>-1</sup>). Elephant grass was cultivated during 120 days, followed by common beans, for 75 days. In that period, contents of Zn and Pb were determined in the leachate. No Pb was found in the leachate, but Zn proved to be quite mobile in this soil. In soils treated with mill scale and filter press mud, no risk of groundwater contamination was observed, however, the 8 t ha<sup>-1</sup> phosphate mud rate increased Zn contents in the leachate above the maximum allowed by environmental regulations. This fact limits the use of such residue for agricultural purposes. The other two residues should be evaluated in field-scale tests aiming their agricultural use.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 120%; text-decoration: none;" lang="en-US" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">KEY-WORDS: Industrial residue; heavy metal; mill scale; filter press mud; phosphate mud.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 120%; text-decoration: none;" lang="pt-BR" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Objetivou-se, com este estudo, avaliar a mobilidade de Pb e Zn no solo. Instalou-se um experimento, em casa-de-vegetação, em vasos preenchidos com amostras de Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo, submetidas a doses de resíduos siderúrgicos, sob delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 3×5, com três repetições, combinando-se três resíduos siderúrgicos (carepa de aciaria, lama de filtro-prensa e lama de fosfato), com cinco doses de cada resíduo (0 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 1 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 2 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, 4 t ha<sup>-1</sup> e 8 t ha<sup>-1</sup>). Cultivou-se capim-elefante, por 120 dias, e, posteriormente, realizou-se o cultivo de feijão, durante 75 dias. Neste período, avaliaram-se as concentrações de Pb e Zn no lixiviado. Não houve lixiviação de Pb, porém, o Zn apresentou bastante mobilidade na coluna de solo. Em solo adubado com carepa de aciaria e lama de filtro-prensa, não foram observados riscos de contaminação do lençol freático por Zn e Pb, entretanto, a dose de 8 t ha<sup>-1</sup> de lama de fosfato elevou os teores de Zn no lixiviado acima do máximo permitido pela legislação. Tal fato limita o uso deste último resíduo em doses altas. Os demais resíduos (carepa de aciaria e lama de filtro-prensa) devem ser testados em experimentos de campo, visando à sua possível utilização agrícola.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 120%; text-decoration: none;" lang="pt-BR" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Resíduo industrial; metal pesado; carepa de aciaria; lama de filtro-prensa; lama de fosfato.</span></span></span></p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> Normal 0 21 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id=ieooui></object> <mce:style><! st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } --> <!--[endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <mce:style><! /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Tabela normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} --> <!--[endif]-->
