Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.
Abstract: An analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions has been developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, bound to Fe-Mn oxides, bound to organic matter, and residual. Experimental results obtained on replicate samples of fluvial bottom sediments demonstrate that the relative standard deviation of the sequential extraction procedure Is generally better than =10%. The accuracy, evaluated by comparing total trace metal concentrations with the sum of the five Individual fractions, proved to be satisfactory. Complementary measurements were performed on the Individual leachates, and on the residual sediments following each extraction, to evaluate the selectivity of the various reagents toward specific geochemical phases. An application of the proposed method to river sediments is described, and the resulting trace metal speciation is discussed.

TL;DR: The principles, advantages and disadvantages of immobilization, soil washing and phytoremediation techniques which are frequently listed among the best demonstrated available technologies for cleaning up heavy metal contaminated sites are presented.
Abstract: Scattered literature is harnessed to critically review the possible sources, chemistry, potential biohazards and best available remedial strategies for a number of heavy metals (lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, mercury and nickel) commonly found in contaminated soils. The principles, advantages and disadvantages of immobilization, soil washing and phytoremediation techniques which are frequently listed among the best demonstrated available technologies for cleaning up heavy metal contaminated sites are presented. Remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils is necessary to reduce the associated risks, make the land resource available for agricultural production, enhance food security and scale down land tenure problems arising from changes in the land use pattern.

TL;DR: An improvement to the BCR sequential extraction procedure through intercomparison exercises is offered, which will allow the obtaining of CRMs to validate analytical data in the analysis of soils and sediments, and it will also facilitate comparability ofData in the European Union.
Abstract: The Standards, Measurements and Testing Programme (formerly BCR) of the European Commission proposed a three-step sequential extraction procedure for sediment analysis, following extensive expert consultations and two interlaboratory studies. This scheme was recently used to certify the extractable trace element contents of a sediment reference material (CRM 601). Although this procedure offers a means to ensure the comparability of data in this field, some difficulties concerning the interlaboratory reproducibility still remain, and a new project is currently being conducted to determine the causes of poor reproducibility in the extraction scheme. The final objective of the project is the certification of new sediment and soil reference materials for their extractable contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. This paper presents the results of a small-scale interlaboratory study, which aimed to test a revised version of the extraction schemes by comparing the original and the modified protocols using the CRM 601 sample. This work offers an improvement to the BCR sequential extraction procedure through intercomparison exercises. This improved procedure will allow the obtaining of CRMs to validate analytical data in the analysis of soils and sediments, and it will also facilitate comparability of data in the European Union.

TL;DR: In this article, samples representing yearly averages of material transported by the Amazon and Yukon Rivers were analyzed to separate the transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) into the following transport phases: (1) crystalline particles, (2) metal hydroxide coatings, (3) solid organic material, (4) sorbed material, and (5) those in solution.
Abstract: Samples representing yearly averages of material transported by the Amazon and Yukon Rivers were analyzed to separate the transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) into the following transport phases: (1) crystalline particles, (2) metal hydroxide coatings, (3) solid organic material, (4) sorbed material, and (5) those in solution. The major transport phases are crystalline particles and metal hydroxide coatings, which, combined, carry 65% to 92% of the transition metals transported. Solid organic material, the next most important phase, transports between 5% and 19% of the total transported. Material carried in solution transports 0.6% to 17% of the total transported. Sorbed transition metals account for between 0.02% and 8% of the total transported. Metal hydroxide coatings represent the major transporting mechanism potentially available to organisms, since, for the Amazon and Yukon Rivers, respectively, 87% and 78% of the Fe, 69% and 73% of the Mn, and 71% and 69% of the Ni are transported in this form. Comparing the concentrations of transition metals carried to the oceans with the concentrations on the continents, a high Cu ratio (5 to 7) indicates continental depletion or river output enrichment; a moderate ratio (1.1 to 1.7) for Ni, Co, and Cr indicates intermediate depletion or enrichment, and a near-unity ratio for Fe and Mn indicates little depletion or enrichment. The sediments transport >97% of the total mass of transition metals to the world9s oceans.
