Abstract
This paper presents an overview of methods for chemical speciation analysis of elements in samples of sediments and soils. The sequential leaching procedure is thoroughly discussed, and examples of different applications are shown. Despite some drawbacks, the sequential extraction method can provide a valuable tool to distinguish among trace element fractions of different solubility related to mineralogical phases. The understanding of the speciation of trace elements in solid samples is still rather unsatisfactory because the appropriate techniques are only operationally defined. The essential importance of proper sampling protocols is highlighted, since the sampling error cannot be estimated and corrected by standards. The Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) protocols for sediment and soil give a good basis for most of the solid samples, and the results can be compared among different laboratories.

Characterizing the availability of metals in contaminated soils. I. The solid phase: sequential extraction and isotopic dilution

TL;DR: The two approaches most commonly applied to characterizing the chemical form and reaction of metals in the soil solid phase are sequential extraction procedures (SEPs) and isotopic dilution (ID) as mentioned in this paper.

Potential release of selected trace elements (As, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn) from sediments in Cam River-mouth (Vietnam) under influence of pH and oxidation.

TL;DR: All heavy metals and arsenic display a V-shaped pH-dependent leaching pattern with important releases at pHs 2 and 11, and the lower leachability of all elements at alkaline pHs 9-11 is due to lower leached concentration of organic matter from the oxidized sediment.

Assessment of biotechnological strategies for the valorization of metal bearing wastes.

TL;DR: The achieved results have evidenced that metal solubilization seems to be strongly influenced by the metal speciation and partitioning in the solid matrix, and confirms the key role of Fe/S oxidizing bacteria and ferrous iron in the mobilization of metals from different solid wastes.
