Sodium Ions Uptake by Hydroxyapatite from Bovine Bone

Article Preview

Abstract:

The negative impact of soil salinity on agricultural yields is disturbing and significant, especially when related to agricultural plants, whose sensitivity to salinity is frequently, but not exclusively, associated with the abundance of Na+ in the soil, which in excess becomes toxic for plants. This work aims to propose an alternative for the control of Na+ present in waters from saline soils, by the possibility of applying bovine hydroxyapatite as a way to remedy this problematic. Hydroxyapatite powders were processed from bovine bone. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. Preliminary experiments were performed in batches at room temperature, adding together 5g hydroxyapatite and a dilute solution of sodium chloride. Liquid samples were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that the hydroxyapatite could be a promising alternative for the reduction of Na+ concentration in waters from saline soils.
