Based on disturbed one-dimensional loessial soil columns, we studied the effects of different nano TiO2 contents (0 g/g, 0.001 g/g, 0.005 g/g, 0.01 g/g and 0.05 g/g) on water movement, solute transport as well as metal adsorption. Cumulative infiltration, the moisture characteristic curves, solute breakthrough curves and isothermal adsorption curve of heavy metals were measured separately during the experimental process. The main results were showed as follows. (1) The nano TiO2 inhibited the process of soil water infiltration and the infiltration rate decreased with the increase of nano TiO2 contents. (2) Nano TiO2 can improve the water-holding capacity of soil, while under the same soil water suction, soil water contents and the inlet suction (α) increased with the increase of nano TiO2 contents, but the shape parameter (n) decreased. (3) Nano TiO2 improved soil solute holding ability effectively; with the increase of nano TiO2 contents, initial penetration time advanced and the dispersivity increased, but the breakthrough time prolonged. (4) With respect to the same equilibrium concentration, the Cu2+ adsorption quantity increased with the increase of nano TiO2 contents. Cu2+ isothermal adsorption curves could be described by the Langmuir equation, and it was found that the maximum adsorption (Sm) increased with the increase of TiO2 contents. These results could provide the theoretical basis for the improvement of soil water and nutrient capacity as well as heavy metal pollution control.
