重金属有效态与土壤环境质量标准制订

制订合适的土壤环境质量标准是评价土壤健康质量及食品安全的核心问题,而土壤重金属有效态对制定土壤环境质量标准具有重要意义。土壤重金属有效态主要指植物有效态,它与重金属形态关系密切。影响土壤重金属有效态的因素很多,主要包括:土壤pH值、氧化还原电位、CEC、有机质含量、粒径组成(黏粒含量)、铁铝锰氧化物含量、植物种类、土壤微生物、土壤温度的高低、重金属来源等。化学试剂浸提法是测量重金属生物有效性的常用方法,所用化学试剂主要有三类:弱(稀)酸、络合剂和中性盐,中性盐由于对土壤pH值影响小而受到重视。我国现行土壤质量标准采用土壤重金属总量和pH两个因素为依据,但是不少学者认为,该标准仅适用于重金属有效态较高的土壤,而不能反映重金属有效态含量较低土壤的实际状况。

Evaluation of a sequential extraction for the speciation of thorium in soils from Baotou area, Inner Mongolia

Sequential extraction procedures were widely applied for speciation of radioactive elements. In this study, the sequential extraction procedure developed by Martínez-Aguirre was employed for quantification of different chemical forms of thorium in the soil. The total amount of thorium in contaminated soil was much higher by four-fold than the local background value. The soil properties affect the amount of thorium and distribution of fractions in contaminated soil. Results showed that the proportion of thorium in soils from Baotou was found as the residual fraction (F5 + F6) > absorbed fraction (F3), coprecipitated fraction (F4) > carbonates fraction (F2) and exchangeable fraction (F1) that could be available to plants. The recovery, calculated by ratio of the sum of the six fractions to the pseudo-total content of thorium, was in the range from 96% to 110%. A comparison was carried out between the sequential extraction and the single extraction to evaluate the selectivity of the extractants. It was found that the amount of thorium of absorbed fraction (F3) was higher in the single extraction than that estimated in the sequential extraction, possibly duo to transform of the labile form. While for non-residual fraction analysis, the single extraction scheme was a desirable alternative to the sequential extraction procedure. According to correlativity analysis of various fractions, it might be predicted that how the non-residual fractions of thorium were directionally transformed into interrelated fractions under the changes of conditions.

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of vanadium in extracts of soil and sewage sludge certified reference materials after fractionation by means of the Communities Bureau of Reference modified sequential extraction procedure

A modified three-step sequential extraction procedure proposed by the Commission of European Communities Bureau of Reference (BCR) was applied to certified reference materials of three different soil groups (rendzina, luvisol, cambisol) and sewage sludge of different composition originating from a municipal water treatment plant in order to assess potential mobility and the distribution of vanadium in the resulting fractions. Analysis of the extracts was carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman background correction using transversely heated graphite atomizers. Extracts showed significant matrix interferences which were overcome by the standard addition technique. The original soil and sludge certified reference materials (CRMs) and the extraction residue from the sequential extraction were decomposed by a mixture of HNO₃–HClO₄–HF in an open system. The content of V determined after decomposition of the samples was in very good agreement with the certified total values. The accuracy of the sequential extraction procedure was checked by comparing the sum of the vanadium contents in the three fractions and in the extraction residue with the certified total content of V. The amounts of vanadium leached were in good correlation with the certified total contents of V in the CRMs of soils and sewage sludge. In the soils examined, vanadium was present almost entirely in the mineral lattice, while in the sewage sludge samples 9–14% was found in the oxidizable and almost 25% in the reducible fractions. The recovery ranged from 93–106% and the precision (RSD) was below 10%.     

A comparison of sequential extraction procedures for fractionation of arsenic,cadmium, lead,and zinc in soil

Twelve soil samples differing in physicochemical properties and total element contents were extracted by three sequential extraction procedures to determine As, Cd, Pb, and Zn bound to individual soil fractions and are defined by individual operational procedures. In the case of arsenic, two additional sequential extraction schemes were designed entirely for fractionation of soil containing arsenic were tested. The results confirmed that determination of element proportions bound to individual soil fractions is strongly dependent on the extracting agent and/or procedure applied within individual extracting schemes. As expected, absolute values of the elements released among the individual extracting procedures are weakly comparable. More reliable results were determined for the more mobile soil elements i.e. cadmium and zinc, in the fractions characterizing the most mobile proportions of investigated elements where significant correlations with basic soil characteristics were observed. In contrast, ambiguous results were observed for As and Pb, for both the individual extraction procedures and the effect of the soil characteristics. Regardless of the studied element, the poorest results were determined for reducible and oxidizable soil fractions. The application of at least two independent procedures or modification of the extraction scheme according to element investigated and/or particular soil characteristics can also be helpful in definition of element pattern in soils in further research.     

The sequential analytical procedure as a tool for evaluation of As, Cd and Zn mobility in soil

The BCR EUR 14763 EN sequential extraction method, developed for the analysis of heavy metals in sediments, was applied to 35 soil samples covering the area of the Czech Republic. The soils varied in their physical-chemical properties and total element contents. While the residual fraction in the case of cadmium was only 18% of total Cd, for Zn and As the residual fraction was dominant (55 and 75%, respectively). The decreasing concentrations of extractable elements in the order Cd > Zn > As correspond to their availability in plants. The influence of selected soil properties (pH, sorption capacity, organic matter, and clay-silt-sand content) on the distribution of As, Cd and Zn was evaluated.

Leaching of glass components and surrogate nuclides from glassy waste forms for radioactive incineration ash

Three kinds of soil, collected in various places (in northwestern and southeastern Poland and near Chernobyl) were used as a subject of sequential extraction and plutonium distribution study. The modified method of Tessier was applied to separate readily available, carbonate, organic, Fe/Mn oxide and residual fractions. Plutonium isotope activity in soil as well as in particular separated fractions was determined by means of alpha spectrometry. The method of plutonium separation and purification for alpha-spectrometric measurements was modified according to the chemical properties of the extracted fraction. It was found that the major part (about 90%) of ^239,240Pu is bound to organic and Fe/Mn oxide fractions (in uncultivated soil samples of northwestern Poland and Chernobyl). In soil samples coming from river valley (southeastern Poland) almost equal amounts of plutonium are distributed between the available, organic and residual fractions.     

Oxidative extraction versus total decomposition of soil in the determination of thallium

An aqua regia extraction and a total decomposition of soil were compared in terms of thallium determination. A sequential extraction of soil, according to the BCR protocol, was also performed for additional information on thallium distribution in soil fractions. Certified reference material—soil GBW 07401 of Chinese origin, containing 1 ± 0.2 ppm of thallium was used in these experiments. Thallium was determined by flow injection-differential pulse-anodic stripping voltammetry (FI-DP-ASV). Only 35% of total thallium was extracted in the aqua regia extraction, while the total decomposition led to satisfactory recovery. The sequential extraction showed that only 5% of thallium in GBW 07401 is dissolvable in the four BCR procedure fractions, and that 95% of the element is entrapped in the residual parent matter. These results show that the aqua regia extraction does not ensure complete thallium extraction from soil. Surprisingly, the total decomposition is significantly less time consuming than the aqua regia extraction.     

Investigation of distribution of soil antimony using sequential extraction and antimony complexed to soil-derived humic acids molar mass fractions extracted from various depths in a shooting range soil

Trace metal contamination from bullet fragments in shooting ranges is a major environmental concern. In particular, trace metals such as lead, antimony, and copper are toxic and have the potential to enter groundwater supplies and to be absorbed by plants. Soil humic acids can play a critical role in mobilizing some of these released metals through complexation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antimony complexed to soil-derived humic molar mass fractions extracted from various depths in a shooting range soil and to examine the distribution of antimony in various fractions of shooting range soils using sequential chemical extraction approach. The surface soil and soil core samples from a local shooting range were collected. Soil-derived humic acids were extracted from different depths of the top soil layer and characterized by various spectroscopic methods. Results of sequential chemical extraction demonstrated that Sb was found in shooting range in the upper 30 cm depth of the soil core. Highly elevated Sb is present in the exchangeable and ammonium acetate extracted fractions. Antimony is also present in the residual fraction in both surface and core soil samples, but is most likely present in a lithic phase which may not be readily bio-available. Leached antimony complexed to soil humic acid molar mass fractions was determined by size exclusion chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). The results demonstrate that Sb is ‘tightly’ bound to humic acid mass molar mass fractions and confined in the top 10 cm of soil-derived humic acids.     

An evaluation of the modified BCR sequential extraction procedure to assess the potential mobility of copper and zinc in MSW

Copper and zinc were determined in municipal solid waste (MSW) samples with different deposit ages from Tianziling landfill site. The pseudototal metal contents of the MSW samples were determined following an aqua regia digestion. Operational speciation was performed using the modified BCR sequential extraction procedure. Analyses were carried out by AAS. Agreement between most of triplicate samples was acceptable. The amount of copper and zinc extracted in the sequential procedure (i.e. Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, residual) did not generally agree well with pseudototal digestion. Various MSW samples contained significant different levels of copper and zinc, but these were with different potential migrations. For example, 49.88%-76.34% of copper existed in five MSW samples was present as oxidable fraction while ~ 40% of zinc was present as acid soluble fraction. The study illustrates the feasibility and importance of modified BCR sequential extraction procedure used as evaluation method when assessing the potential mobility of heavy metal in MSW landfill.     

Effects of soil pH and organic matter on distribution of thorium fractions in soil contaminated by rare-earth industries

The labilities of thorium fractions including mobility and bioavailability vary significantly with soil properties. The effects of soil pH and soil organic matter on the distribution and transfer of thorium fractions defined by a sequential extraction procedure were investigated. Decrease of soil pH could enhance the phytoavailability and the potential availability of thorium in soil. Increase of organic matter reduced the phytoavailability of thorium, but enhanced the potential availability of it. The reasons why soil pH and soil organic matter affect thorium fractions were discussed, and the behavior of the effects of soil properties on thorium fractions was elucidated. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were employed to reveal the positive relationship between the amounts adsorbed in humic material and/or amorphous oxides and the content of soil organic matter.
