TL;DR: The conclusions were that whilst Fe-oxides may be used as effective in situ amendments to attenuate As in soils, their effects on other trace elements, such as Pb and Cd, require careful consideration.

TL;DR: Biochar was most effective, resulting in a 10 fold decrease of Cd in pore water and a resultant reduction in phytotoxicity, and the results highlight the potential of biochar for contaminated land remediation.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of redox potential and pH on arsenic speciation and solubility was studied in a contaminated soil, and the observed slow kinetics of the As(V)-As(III) transformation and the high concentrations of Mn present indicate that, under reduced soil conditions, arsenic solubability could be controlled by a Mn{sub 3}(AsO{sub 4}){sub 2} phase.
Abstract: The influence of redox potential and pH on arsenic speciation and solubility was studied in a contaminated soil. Alterations in the oxidation state of arsenic, and influenced by redox potential and pH, greatly affected its solubility in soil. At higher soil redox levels (500-200 mV), arsenic solubility was low and the major part (65-98%) of the arsenic in solution was present as As(V). An alkaline pH, or the reduction of As(V) to As(III), released substantial proportions of arsenic into solution. Under moderately reduced soil conditions (0-100 mV), arsenic solubility was controlled by the dissolution of iron oxyhydroxides. Arsenic was coprecipitated (as As(V)) with iron oxyhydroxides and released upon their solubilization. Upon reduction to {minus}200 mV, the soluble arsenic content increased 13-fold as compared to 500 mV. The observed slow kinetics of the As(V)-As(III) transformation and the high concentrations of Mn present indicate that, under reduced soil conditions, arsenic solubility could be controlled by a Mn{sub 3}(AsO{sub 4}){sub 2} phase.
