Abstract: | The sequential extraction test, known as a BCR procedure, was used to assess a leachability of heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu) from the metallo-organic sorbent—iron humate—loaded with these metals. The sequential test allowed to discriminate between various fractions of heavy metals, namely the acid-extractable fraction, the fraction bound to Fe oxides, and the fraction bound to organic matter. It was proven that the heavy metals are bound mainly to Fe oxides and organic matter, and thus they may be relatively hardly liberated into the environment. The BCR sequential extraction test exhibited a very good repeatability, when it was applied to the loaded sorbent—relative standard deviations were typically lower than 10%. |
