Heavy metal contamination of soil is a common problem at many hazardous waste sites. Chelating extraction of heavy metals has been proposed as a remediation technique for contaminated soils. A useful method was developed, which assessed 190 ligands for their ability in extraction and recovery of target metals, including cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Chelator performance was evaluated based on equilibrium calculations with an emphasis on the potential of recovering both the metals and chelating agents. Batch equilibration experiments over 24-h periods were performed to test three chelating agents, S-carboxymethyl-cysteine (SCMC), N-2-acetamidoiminodiacetic acid (ADA), and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDA), which were deemed suitable for the extraction of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc from soil. All three chelators demonstrated high extraction capability toward their respective target metals across a wide range of pH, metal, and ligand concentrations. In addition, all three chelators exhibited good recovery potential at moderately elevated pH values. The potential of many chelating agents and their effective pH ranges in the remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals are reported.RCsumC : La contamination du sol par des mCtaux lourds est un problbme que l'on observe rCgulikrement dans de nombreuses dCcharges de produits dangereux. L'extraction par chClation de ces mCtaux lourds a kt6 proposCe comme mCthode d'assainissement des sols contaminks. Une mCthode utile a Ct C mise au point et a permis d'Cvaluer le potentiel de 190 ligands comme agents d'extraction et de rCcupCration de mttaux cibles, dont le cadmium, le cuivre, le plomb, le mercure, le nickel et le zinc. Le rendement des chtlateurs a Ct C CvaluC par des calculs d'tquilibre mettant l'accent sur le potentiel de rCcuptration des mttaux et des agents chClateurs. Des essais d'kquilibration par lot sur des pCriodes de 24 heures ont Ct C effectuts afin d'Cprouver trois agents chklateurs, i savoir la S-carboxymCthylcystCine (SCMC), l'acide N-2-acCtamidoiminodiacCtique (ADA) et l'acide pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylique (PDA), qui ont Ct C jugts acceptables pour I'extraction du cadmium, du cuivre, du plomb et du zinc. Tous trois ont dCmontrC d'excellentes capacitCs d'extraction de leurs mCtaux cibles respectifs sur une vaste plage de pH et de concentrations de mCtaux et de ligands. En outre, tous trois ont prCsentC un bon potentiel de rCcupCration i des valeurs de pH modCrCment ClevCes. Le potentiel de nombreux agents chClateurs ainsi que leurs plages de pH efficaces pour l'assainissement des sols contamints par des mttaux lourds sont prCsentCs dans les pages suivantes.
