The clay fraction separated from an alluvial Egyptian soil and montmorillonite clay mineral were equilibrated with a CaCl(,2) or NaCl solution then treated with humic acid isolated from composted clover straw to obtain different clay systems: Ca-clay, Ca-clay-HA, Na-clay, Na-clay-HA, Ca-mont and Ca-mont-HA. These clays as well as seven soil samples were reacted with different amounts of labelled ('65)ZnCl(,2), ('65)ZnEDTAand ('65)ZnDTPA. The effectiveness of these Zn-sources for maintaining soluble Zn(2+) ions in the equilibrium solution was the greatest for ZnDTPA and the lowest for ZnCl(,2). Ca-clay provided greater Zn sorption capacity than Na-clay, and complexing the clay with humic acid depressed its capacity for Zn sorption. At the pH of the clay-systems (pH=6.5), the possibilities of Zn(OH)(,2) formation were reduced especially in the presence of Zn-chelates. Reactions of ('65)ZnEDTA and ('65)ZnDTPA with the seven soils produced higher levels of soluble Zn(,2+) ions in the equilibrium solution rather than ('65)ZnCl(,2) meanwhile ZnDTPA was more effective than ZnEDTA. The calculated Zn(OH)(,2) ion product in the solution of ZnCl(,2)-soil systems indicated the precipitation of Zn as Zn(OH)(,2). However, this was not valid in the Zn-chelates-soil systems. The results also revealed the role of soil carbonate, organic matter and soil texture as soil variables affecting Zn sorption by natural soils.
