Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation of Heavy Metals in Soils and Sediments. An Account of the Improvement and Harmonization of Extraction Techniques Undertaken Under the Auspices of the BCR of the Commission of the European Communities
TL;DR: In this article, a series of investigations and collaborative studies, initiated by BCR, on current methods of metal speciation by extraction of soils and sediments with chemical reagents are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for terms related to chemical speciation and fractionation of elements. Definitions, structural aspects, and methodological approaches (IUPAC Recommendations 2000)
Douglas M. Templeton,Freek Ariese,Rita Cornelis,Lars-Göran Danielsson,Herbert Muntau,Herman P. van Leeuwen,Ryszard Lobinski +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined definitions of concepts related to speciation of elements, more particularly speciation analysis and chemical species, and proposed a categorization of species according to isotopic composition of the element, its oxidation and electronic states, and its complex and molecular structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonized protocol and certified reference material for the determination of extractable contents of phosphorus in freshwater sediments--a synthesis of recent works.
TL;DR: The SMT protocol was used in a study of a reservoir, which allowed to calculate the P stock, therefore helping to predict the restoration delay of the lake, and is useful tools in the field of water management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Certification of trace metal extractable contents in a sediment reference material (CRM 601) following a three-step sequential extraction procedure
Ph. Quevauviller,Gemma Rauret,José Fermín López-Sánchez,Roser Rubio,Allan M. Ure,Herbert Muntau +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a certification campaign of extractable trace element contents in a sediment reference material, following a three-step sequential extraction procedure duly tested and adopted by a group of 18 EU laboratories is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a modified BCR sequential extraction (three-step) procedure for the determination of extractable trace metal contents in a sewage sludge amended soil reference material (CRM 483), complemented by a three-year stability study of acetic acid and EDTA extractable metal content
Gemma Rauret,José Fermín López-Sánchez,Angels Sahuquillo,E. Barahona,M. Lachica,Allan M. Ure,Christine M. Davidson,A. Gomez,Detlef Lück,Jeffrey R. Bacon,M. Yli-Halla,Herbert Muntau,Ph. Quevauviller +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided additional data on a sewage sludge amended soil certified reference material, CRM 483, which was certified in 1997 for its EDTA and acetic acid extractable contents of some trace metals, following standardised extraction procedures.
