1 Sodic Soil Reclamation Using Multicomponent Transport Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
High contents of soluble salts accumulated in a soil can significantly decrease the value and productivity of agricultural lands. Present recommendations for reclamation are usually based only on relatively simple and often empirical relations. In this paper we give a brief overview of many unique physical and chemical factors important to reclamation contained in the one-dimensional multicomponent transport model UNSATCHEM and demonstrate its use for evaluating the reclamation of a sodic soil using various amendments and management strategies. We evaluate particular reclamation strategies based on the following considerations: (1) the quantity of water needed; (2) the quantity of amendments to be used; and (3) the time required for reclamation to be completed. Our study concentrates primarily on such chemical reactions as cation exchange, precipitation, and dissolution of solid phases (reclamation amendments) and on the effect of solution composition on the soil hydraulic properties and corresponding changes in the water flow and solute transport rates.

Effect of Byproducts of Flue Gas Desulfurization on the Soluble Salts Composition and Chemical Properties of Sodic Soils
The byproducts of flue gas desulfurization (BFGD) are a useful external source of Ca(2+) for the reclamation of sodic soils because they are comparatively cheap, generally available and have high gypsum content. The ion solution composition of sodic soils also plays an important role in the reclamation process. The effect of BFGD on the soluble salts composition and chemical properties of sodic...

The effect of gypsum on the physical and chemical characteristics of sodic soils is nonlinear and controlled by multiple factors. The support vector machine (SVM) is able to solve practical problems such as small samples, nonlinearity, high dimensions, and local minima points. This paper reports the use of the SVM regression method to predict changes in the chemical properties of sodic soils un...
متن کاملSodic soil reclamation: Modelling and field study
Reclamation of sodic soils has traditionally been undertaken using calculation of gypsum or Ca requirement assuming 100% exchange efficiency and neglect of the contribution of calcium carbonate in the profile. The UNSATCHEM model is reviewed and then evaluated for its ability to predict field reclamation of a sodic saline soil. The 40-ha field site was initially at an electrical conductivity (E...

Fresh water source scarcity in arid and semiarid area is limitation factor for saline-sodic soil reclamation. The reusing of agricultural drainage and industrial wastewater are preferred strategies for combating with this concern. The objective of current study was evaluation in application of industrial sugar manufacture wastewater due to high soluble organic compounds in saline-sodic and sodi...
