Sequential Extraction of Metal Contaminated Soils with Radiochemical Assessments of Readsorption Effects
Article Abstract:
Sequential extraction procedure, a controversial method, was used in this study of trace metal partitioning and retention behavior within the soils of a Toronto area metal recycler. The results of the study are in line with theory and anecdotal observations. The secondary goal of the study was to evaluate metal readsorption which was less than previously surmised.

Modeling Removal of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in acidic Groundwater during Neutralization by Ambient Surface Waters and Groundwaters
Article Abstract:
Researches showed that for tailings from the Moon Creek Mill in Kellogg Idaho, Fe oxides and organic carbon were more important than hydrous Al oxides in removing metals thus showing a need for both organic and inorganic methods for effective removal of heavy metals at the location.
