Abstract:Adsorption process of Cd in soil is the important factor which influence concentration, migratory aptitude and potential toxicity of Cd in soil solution. As an important indicators of soil quality, soil microorganism activity has good instruction function as soil heavy metal content. In this paper, the adsorption process of Cd in brown soil and changes of soil microorganism activity have been studied. It is showed that with the increase of Cd in the solution, soil adsorption of Cd increases gradually, and the adsorption reaction conforms to Freundlich equation. Accompanying with the increase of initial concentration of cadmium, soil urease and catalase activity have been inhibited, and thereinto urease is more sensitive to Cd.
