| Abstract | There is a need for inexpensive, readily-available and environmentally-friendly soil washing agents to remediate polluted soils. Thus, batch washing experiments were performed to evaluate the feasibility of using a solution of humic substances (HS) extracted from compost as a washing agent for simultaneous removal of Cu, Cd, Zn, Pb and Ni from artificially contaminated soils aged for 1 month, 12 months and 24 months. The efficiency of metal removal in single and multiple washings and kinetic constants (equilibrium metal concentration qe and rate constant k from the second-order kinetic equation) were determined. On average, triple washing removed twice as much metal as that removed with a single washing. At pH 7 and a HS concentration of 2.2 g C L(-1), metal removal from all soils decreased in this order: Cd (79.1-82.6%) > Cu (51.5-71.8%) > Pb (44.8-47.6%) > Ni (35.4-46.1%) > Zn (27.9-35.8%). However, based on qe (mg kg(-1)), metal removal was in this order: Pb > Zn ≈ Cu > Ni > Cd. This difference was due to different concentrations of metals, which is typical for multi-metal contaminated soils. Regardless of washing mode, removal of Cd and Pb was not affected by soil age, whereas removal of Cu, Ni and Zn was higher in soils that had been aged for a shorter time. These results indicate that HS are suitable for remediating soil contaminated with multiple heavy metals in extremely high concentrations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
