Synthesis of iron-exchanged Na-P1 zeolites with different iron release properties
Iron-exchanged zeolites are used as iron nutrient source to plants. To develop materials which allow an effective supply of iron, we prepared iron-exchanged Na-P1 zeolites using ferric chloride (FeChl-Z) and ferric citrate (FeCit-Z) solutions via a cation exchange method, and evaluated the chemical...

Summary: | Iron-exchanged zeolites are used as iron nutrient source to plants. To develop materials which allow an effective supply of iron, we prepared iron-exchanged Na-P1 zeolites using ferric chloride (FeChl-Z) and ferric citrate (FeCit-Z) solutions via a cation exchange method, and evaluated the chemical form and release property of the iron. The content of iron in FeChl-Z and FeCit-Z was 199 and 225 mmol kg-1, respectively. FeChl-Z mainly contained highly polymerized hydroxy-iron species, whereas FeCit-Z contained mainly monomeric to oligomeric hydroxy-iron species. 1 M ammonium acetate solution (pH 4.5) extracted 68% and 17% iron from FeCit-Z and FeChl-Z, respectively. This suggests that the different iron form retained by the methods using different iron solutions influenced iron release properties of the iron-exchanged zeolites. |
