The exploitation and smelting of rare earth resources lead to serious pollution of rare earth elements (REEs) in farmland around mining area. The influence of four kinds of phosphate amendments-phosphate rock (PR), superphosphate (SSP), bone char (BC), and calcium magnesium phosphate (CMP)-on the bioavailability of REEs and the uptake and accumulation of 15 types of REE in rice were conducted in this study. Soil solutions were collected at tillering stage, heading stage and maturing stage, and rice was harvested at maturing stage. The mechanism of phosphate amendments reducing the bioavailability of REEs was studied by X-Ray diffraction and ICP-MS. PR treatment inhibited rice growth, but SSP, BC and CMP treatments all promoted rice growth, improved biomass of roots, shoots and grains, and promoted the uptake of phosphorous in rice. When compared with the CK, SSP, BC and CMP reduced the total REE concentrations in rice roots by 82.2%, 67.9% and 89.6%, shoots by 75.4%, 40.1% and 65.5%, grains by 23.8%, 29.0% and 29.3%, respectively. PR, SSP, BC and CMP significantly reduced the concentrations of REEs in the soil solution at three stages of rice growth. Analytic results of X-ray diffraction shows that adding PR, SSP, BC and CMP can lead to the formation of rare earth phosphate in the soil, thus reduce the activity of the REEs in the soil. Because SSP releases H+ during its dissolution, which has the risk of activating REEs in soil, CMP and BC are potential materials for remediation of REE-contaminated soil.
X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is a rapid analytical technique primarily used for phase identification of a crystalline material and can provide information on unit cell dimensions. The analyzed material is finely ground, homogenized, and average bulk composition is determined.
Max von Laue, in 1912, discovered that crystalline substances act as three-dimensional diffraction gratings for X-ray wavelengths similar to the spacing of planes in a crystal lattice. X-ray diffraction is now a common technique for the study of crystal structures and atomic spacing.
X-ray diffraction is based on constructive interference of monochromatic X-rays and a crystalline sample. These X-rays are generated by a cathode ray tube, filtered to produce monochromatic radiation, collimated to concentrate, and directed toward the sample. The interaction of the incident rays with the sample produces constructive interference (and a diffracted ray) when conditions satisfy Bragg's Law (nλ=2d sin θ). This law relates the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to the diffraction angle and the lattice spacing in a crystalline sample. These diffracted X-rays are then detected, processed and counted. By scanning the sample through a range of 2θangles, all possible diffraction directions of the lattice should be attained due to the random orientation of the powdered material. Conversion of the diffraction peaks to d-spacings allows identification of the mineral because each mineral has a set of unique d-spacings. Typically, this is achieved by comparison of d-spacings with standard reference patterns.
All diffraction methods are based on generation of X-rays in an X-ray tube. These X-rays are directed at the sample, and the diffracted rays are collected. A key component of all diffraction is the angle between the incident and diffracted rays. Powder and single crystal diffraction vary in instrumentation beyond this.
X-ray diffractometers consist of three basic elements: an X-ray tube, a sample holder, and an X-ray detector. Bruker's X-ray Diffraction D8-Discover instrument. D
