The objective of this research was to look into the binary exchange in four calcareous soils. The ion adsorption was carried by Batch equilibrium method used to saturate the soil samples with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions, separately, to get Sodium–Soil, Potassium–Soil, Calcium–Soil and Magnesium–Soil. The mean Kd (L kg–1) scores in various binary systems were arranged as follows: Calcium – Magnesium (18. 7) > Magnesium– Sodium(18.66) >Magnesium – Calcium (17.69) > Calcium – Sodium (15.59) > Magnesium – Potassium (14.31) > Calcium – Potassium (14.26) > Potassium – Sodium (6.5) >Potassium – Magnesium (6.32) > Potassium – Calcium (5.83) > Sodium – Magnesium (4.09) > Sodium – Calcium (4.01) > Sodium – Potassium (3.38).The average values of vanselow selectivity coefficients in different binary exchange systems of cation followed this order: Sodium – Potassium (9.88) > Sodium – Calcium (8.42) > Sodium – Magnesium (8.31) > Potassium – Sodium (5.92) > Potassium – Calcium (5.55) > Potassium – Magnesium (5.34) > Calcium – Potassium (3.17) > Magnesium – Potassium (3.07) > Calcium – Sodium (2.93) > Magnesium – Calcium (2.39) > Calcium – Magnesium (2.17)> Magnesium – Sodium (1.99).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
