Abstract

In this work, we determine the factors affecting soil erosion and its effect on dust formation around the Mineral Salts Company in Mighan playa of Arak. Seventy samples are randomly sampled from a depth of 10 cm above the ground around Mighan playa. Some factors involved (e.g. sample aggregation, lime, organic matter, pH, Na, K, Ca, and electrical conductivity) are determined and compared with the statistical parameters such as the correlation matrix and cluster analysis in order to determine the erosion rate in each sample based on the soil properties. The results obtained show that soil salinity, as a major factor in erosion, causes soil depletion and degradation in the area. Also a high amount of sand in the environment causes the soil texture instability. The factors such as the amount of gravel, organic matter, and K are the main erosion inhibiting factors, which have little effect on the majority of the samples. The organic matter content in most samples is less than 4%, and does not have much effect on erosion. The amount of clay in the samples is less than 10%, and has no effect on the adhesion of soil texture. The main factor affecting the erosion rate is EC and Na in the soil. The inhibitors such as gravel, organic matter, K, and clay amount in the samples can be considered as a protective or reducing factor in erosioning. Rising in the mentioned factors in the soil causes a lack of density and instability in the soil, and increases the rate of soil erosion. The results of this work show that addition of soil erosion increases the amount of fine-grained soil, and dust is a result of increased production. Also the presence of mineral salt in the area increases the production rate of dense soil, and as a result, rises the amount of dust produced in the area. Therefore, we need to stabilize mining soil, and prevent dust generation around the Mineral Salts Company.
伊朗梅甘盐业公司周边矿用土壤理化性质对土壤退化过程的影响
在这项工作中,我们确定了影响土壤侵蚀的因素及其对阿拉克Mighan playa矿物盐公司周围灰尘形成的影响。从Mighan playa周围地面以上10厘米的深度随机抽取70个样本。确定了一些相关因素(如样品聚集、石灰、有机物、pH、Na、K、Ca和电导率),并将其与相关矩阵和聚类分析等统计参数进行比较,以根据土壤特性确定每个样品的侵蚀率。研究结果表明,土壤盐度是造成该地区土壤侵蚀的主要因素,导致该地区土壤枯竭和退化。此外,环境中大量的沙子会导致土壤质地不稳定。砾石、有机质和K等因素是主要的侵蚀抑制因素,对大多数样品影响不大。大多数样品的有机质含量小于4%,对侵蚀没有太大影响。样品中粘土的含量小于10%,对土壤质地的附着力没有影响。影响土壤侵蚀速率的主要因素是土壤中的EC和Na。样品中的砾石、有机物、K和粘土等抑制剂可被视为侵蚀的保护或减少因素。土壤中上述因素的增加会导致土壤密度不足和不稳定,并增加土壤侵蚀率。这项工作的结果表明,土壤侵蚀的增加增加了细粒土壤的数量,而灰尘是产量增加的结果。此外,该地区矿物盐的存在增加了致密土壤的生产率,因此增加了该地区产生的灰尘量。因此,我们需要稳定采矿土壤,防止矿盐公司周围产生灰尘。
