ObjectivesObjectives Determine the free metal speciation of divalent
metals in soil solutions
Identify the physico-chemical characteristics of the soil which control metal solubility and speciation
• Quantify the contributions of pH, total metal and organic matter
Propose simple semi-mechanistic regression models to estimate metal solubility and free Me2+ speciation in contaminated soils

SoilsSoils Multiple dataset of field-collected soils
Metals originating from smelting/battery recycling operations, long-term phosphate fertilizers, aerial deposition, sewage sludge application, diffuse and point source industrial contamination
• Montréal (QC), Ithaca (NY), Québec, France, Denmark & Colorado
Field « equilibrium », in most cases, contamination has occured at least ten years before sampling

Soil PropertiesSoil Properties Soil pH in 0.01 M CaCl2 or KNO3 extract (from
3.5 to 8.9)
Soil organic matter of 8.0 to 108 g C kg-1
Dissolved organic carbon 1.1 to 140 mg C L-1
Metal levels from background to high industrial range
• Soil totals of 0.1 to 56 mg Cd kg-1
• Dissolved Cd of 0.03 to 3500 µg Cd L-1

Analytical MethodologyAnalytical Methodology «Totals» by HNO3 reflux digestion
Soil solutions obtained using 1:2 soil:0.01 M KNO3 or CaCl2 extractions filtered to <0.22µm (or <0.45µm)
• Total dissolved metal by GFAAS (Zeeman) or ICP-AES
• Electrochemically labile Cd, Pb and Zn by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV)
• Free Cd2+ Pb2+, Zn2+ speciation by partitioning ASV-labile metal into inorganic ion-pairs
• Free Cu2+ by ion-selective electrode potentiometry

Solid/liquid PartitioningSolid/liquid Partitioning
• Assumes a unique and constant ratio between solution and solid phases:
• Total metal is in mg/kg dry soil and dissolved metal is in mg/L, hence Kd´s are usually reported as L/kg
• Sensitive to determination method, solid:liquid ratio, extracting solution, time of extraction and filtration

ConclusionsConclusions Reasonable predictions of the speciation of
metals in soils can be realized from simple regressions with total metal burden, soil solution pH and other soil characteristics
Within a large sampling program, as much care should be devoted to « other » physicochemical parameters as to soil metal analyses per se.
