Abstract [en]

Stabilized cementitious aggregates AG were produced from wood ashes containing - similar to 10,000 mg kg(-1) As, Cr and Cu, then amended to two agricultural pasture soils. Metal(loid) leaching (column tests), mobility (pore water extracts) and uptake to ryegrass was determined, comparing raw ashes with aggregates. Risk modeling was applied to selected data to inform wider discussion of the experimental results. Under rapid leaching (7 h) AG 2 (pre-strengthened with CO2) outperformed AG 1 in suppressing soluble metal (loid) removal. During prolonged leaching (12d) both aggregates were susceptible to mild dissolution/release of metal(loid)s upon acidification. Pore water sampled from the pot test indicated that Cr was generally most mobile, As least so, reduced furthest by AG 2. Risk modelling, based on pot experimental data, demonstrated soil specific accumulation of As in beef muscle and milk, being furthest reduced (compared to the raw ash addition) by AG 2 in soil A, but increased in soil B by the same treatment. The results of this study indicate that a reduction in soluble As, Cr and Cu can be achieved through cementitious aggregation of wood ashes, though the extent is metal(loid) specific when amended to soils. Pretesting under local soil conditions before field application would be required to ensure that metal(loid) mobility remained suppressed.
