“…In experiments with rotary shakers operated at 30 rpm, 20% more Cu was extracted, compared with experiments using a horizontal shaker at 130 rpm. This effect was less pronounced for Ni than for Cu [37].…”

“…Quevauviller et al [37] investigated the influence of shaking types and speed on the determination of extractable trace metals in sediments.

For the development of decentralized treatment systems for road runoff, the determination of pollutant removal capacities is essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of boundary conditions on the simultaneous removal of copper, nickel, and zinc by six sorbents used for urban stormwater treatment (i.e., granular activated alumina, anthracite, granular reactivated carbon, granular ferric hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and granular activated lignite). For batch experiments, capacities were determined at initial concentrations within the range of 2.5-180 mg/L with a rotary shaker. Further influences were investigated: the use of a horizontal shaker for concentrations of up to 1080 mg/L, a variation of the initial pH value (5 and 7), and the presence of a buffer. Furthermore, the influences of the filtration process on the capacities were studied. Kinetic experiments were conducted for contact times between 5 min and 120 min. Lab-scale column experiments with inflow concentrations of 2.5 mg/L (copper and nickel) and 5.0 mg/L (zinc) at an initial pH of 5 and a contact time of 11 min were performed for comparison. Selected experiments were subsequently carried out with changes in initial concentrations and contact time. One result is that it is essential to conduct batch experiments with the metals of interest. The capacities determined by column experiments deviated from batch experiments. Batch experiments under well-defined conditions can be used to evaluate different production batches. Column experiments give a more faithful capacity by considering realistic boundary conditions and should be preferred to determine efficiencies and service lives.

“…The use of CaCl 2 is also recommended due to the same salt concentration as the average Ca 2+ concentration in soil solution and ability of Ca 2+ to extract other adsorbed cations in soils (Novozamsky et al, 1993). The Community Bureau of Reference (BCR, now Standards, Measurements and Testing Programme of the European Committee) launched a project to coordinate measurements of the extractable trace metal contents in soil and sediments (Quevauviller et al, 1994). More recently, this method has been applied to estimate bioavailability, but no consistent data have been obtained (Qian et al, 1996;Sauvé et al, 1996;Shan et al, 2003).…”

Comparison of a rhizosphere-based method with other one-step extraction methods for assessing the bioavailability of soil metals to wheat

There is no method recognized as a universal approach for evaluation of bioavailability of heavy metals in soil. Based on the simulation of the rhizosphere soil conditions and integration of the combined effects of root-soil interactions as a whole, a rhizosphere-based method has been proposed. Wet fresh rhizosphere soil was extracted by lowmolecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) to fractionate metal fractions of soil pools, which were then correlated with the metal contents of wheat roots and shoots. The rhizosphere-based method was compared with other one-step extraction methods using DTPA, EDTA, CaCl 2 , and NaNO 3 as extractants and the first step of the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) method. Simple correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used for the comparison. Simple correlation indicated that the extractable Cu, Zn, Cr, and Cd of soils by the rhizosphere-based method were significantly correlated with the metal contents of wheat roots. For DTPA, BCR1 and EDTA methods there was a relatively poor correlation between the extractable Cu, Zn and Cd of soil and metal contents of wheat roots. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the equation of the rhizosphere-based method was the simplest one, and no soil properties variables needed to be added. In contrast, the equations of other one-step extraction methods were more complicated, and soil properties variables needed to be entered. The most distinct feature of the rhizosphere-based method was that the recommended method was suitable for acidic, neutral and near alkaline soils. However, the DTPA and EDTA extraction methods were suitable for calcareous soils only-or-only for acidic soils. The CaCl 2 , and NaNO 3 extraction methods were only suitable for exchangeable metals. In short, the rhizosphere-based method was the most robust approach for evaluation of bioavailability of heavy metals in soils to wheat.

“…With these facts in mind, the present work aimed to study the fractioning of heavy metals in the sediments of Rodrigo de Freitas, as well as investigate the influence of some variables on the partitioning of the metals among their different chemical phases. Despite some limitations (Nirel and Morel 1990, Saeki et al 1993, Guo et al 1997, Ngiam and Lim 2001, selective extraction of operationally defined phases that are present within a sediment has proved to be an effective way to ascertain metal mobility, availability and their potential impact on biota (Tessier et al1979, Ure et al 1993, Quevauviller et al 1994, Cobelo-Garcia and Prego 2004. The importance of humic compounds that are composed mainly of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, lignins, tannins and melanins (Burdon 2001) as complexing agents for metals is also studied using oxidizable organic carbon and extraction of humine, humic and fulvic acids.…”

One of the main results of the processes related to urbanization is the contamination of the adjacent water bodies. Inserted in this context, the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon is situated in the south zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. This ecosystem receives several inputs containing all sorts of pollutants, including heavy metals. The present work aimed to study the partitioning of heavy metals in the sediments of Rodrigo de Freitas and the influence of organic matter in this fractionation dynamic. The results of these analyses presented the contents of organic matter as an important metal-capturing agent. Fractionation of organic matter resulted in a predominance of humine. Heavy metal partitioning showed that the metals bound by the water-soluble phase have no significant concentrations. Special features such as, reducing sediment, high levels of organic matter and fine grain size have transformed this ecosystem in an effective deposit of pollutants, where heavy metals are not available in easily reactive fractions.
