Abstract

To estimate potential use of fly ash in reducing $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ emission from soil, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ fluxes from a paddy soil mixed with fly ash at different rate (w/w; 0, 5, and 10%) in the presence and absence of fertilizer N ($(NH_4)_2SO_4$) addition were investigated in a laboratory incubation for 60 days under changing water regime from wetting to drying via transition. The mean $CH_4$ flux during the entire incubation period ranged from 0.59 to $1.68mg\;CH_4\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$ with a lower rate in the soil treated with N fertilizer due to suppression of $CH_4$ production by $SO_4^{2-}$ that acts as an electron acceptor, leading to decreases in electron availability for methanogen. Fly ash application reduced $CH_4$ flux by 37.5 and 33.0% in soils without and with N addition, respectively, probably due to retardation of $CH_4$ diffusion through soil pores by addition of fine-textured fly ash. In addition, as fly ash has a potential for $CO_2$ removal via carbonation (formation of carbonate precipitates) that decreases $CO_2$ availability that is a substrate for $CO_2$ reduction reaction (one of $CH_4$ generation pathways) is likely to be another mechanisms of $CH_4$ flux reduction by fly ash. Meanwhile, the mean $CO_2$ flux during the entire incubation period was between 0.64 and $0.90g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$, and that of N treated soil was lower than that without N addition. Because N addition is likely to increase soil respiration, it is not straightforward to explain the results. However, it may be possible that our experiment did not account for the substantial amount of $CO_2$ produced by heterotrophs that were activated by N addition in earlier period than the measurement was initiated. Fly ash application also lowered $CO_2$ flux by up to 20% in the soil mixed with fly ash at 10% through $CO_2$ removal by the carbonation. At the whole picture, fly ash application at 10% decreased global warming potential of emitted $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ by about 20%. Therefore, our results suggest that fly ash application can be a soil management practice to reduce green house gas emission from paddy soils. Further studies under field conditions with rice cultivation are necessary to verify our findings.

비산재 혼합에 의한 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 방출 저감 가능성을 조사하기 위해 질소 ($(NH_4)_2SO_4$) 무처리구와 처리구를 두고 비산재를 0, 5, 10% 수준으로 혼합한 후 토양 수분 변동조건 (습윤기간, 전이기간, 건조기간)에서 60일간 실험실내 항온배양실험을 통해 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ flux를 분석하였다. 전체 항온배양기간 중 평균 $CH_4$ flux는 $0.59{\sim}1.68mg\;CH_4\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$의 범위였으며, 질소 무처리구에 비해 처리구에서 flux가 낮았는데, 이는 질소 처리시 함께 시용된 $SO_4^{2-}$의 전자수용체 기능에 의해 $CH_4$ 생성이 억제되었기 때문으로 판단되었다. 질소 무처리구와 처리구에서 비산재 10% 처리에 의해 $CH_4$ flux가 각각 37.5%와 33.0% 감소하였는데, 이는 물리적인 측면에서 미립질 (실트 함량 75.4%)인 비산재 시용에 의해 통기성 대공극량이 감소되어 $CH_4$ 확산 속도가 저감되었기 때문으로 판단되었다. 또한, 생화학적 측면에서는 비산재의 $CO_2$ 흡착능에 의해 $CH_4$ 생성의 주요 기작 중 하나인 이산화탄소 환원에 필요한 $CO_2$ 공급이 억제된 것도 원인 일 수 있다. 한편, 전체 항온 배양 기간의 평균 $CO_2$ flux ($0.64{\sim}0.90g\;CO_2\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$) 역시 질소 무처리구가 질소 처리구보다 높았다. 이는 일반적으로 질소 시비에 의해 토양 호흡량이 증가한다는 기존의 연구결과와는 상이한데, 본 연구에서 질소 처리에 의해 활성화된 미생물에 의해 $CO_2$ flux 최초 측정 시점 (처리 후 2일째) 이전에 이미 상당한 양의 $CO_2$가 이미 방출되어 실측 flux에 반영되지 못했기 때문으로 설명이 가능했다. $CH_4$과 유사하게 $CO_2$ flux도 비산재무처리구에 비해 비산재 10% 처리구에서 약 20% 감소하였는데, 이는 비산재의 원소 구성 중 Ca과 Mg과 토양수내 탄산이온의 탄산염 ($CaCO_3$과 $MgCO_3$)화 반응에 의한 $CO_2$ 침전 때문이다. 이상과 같은 비산재 처리에 의한 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ flux 감소에 의해 지구온난화지수 역시 비산재 10% 처리구에서 약 20% 감소하였다. 따라서, 비산재는 논 토양에서 $CH_4$과 $CO_2$ 방출 저감에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 실재 벼 재배 포장에서의 실험을 통한 추가적인 검증이 필요하다.
