Stabilization of As, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn in soil using amendments – A review

TLDR
An overview of data published during the last five years on the immobilization of one metalloid, As, and four heavy metals, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn, in soils, finds that Zn can be successfully immobilized in soil by phosphorus amendments and clays.

Remediation techniques for heavy metal-contaminated soils: Principles and applicability

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive assessment indicates that chemical stabilization serves as a temporary soil remediation technique, phytoremediation needs improvement in efficiency, surface capping and landfilling are applicable to small, serious-contamination sites, while solidification and vitrification are the last remediation option.

Arsenic fractionation in soils using an improved sequential extraction procedure

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a sequential extraction procedure (SEP) for As by choosing extraction reagents commonly used for sequential extraction of metals, Se and P, including NH 4 NO 3, NaOAc, NH 2 OH·HCl, EDTA, NH 4 OH and NH 4 F, were shown to either have only low extraction efficiency for As, or to be insufficiently selective or specific for the phases targeted.
