TÓM TẮT Ba loại phương pháp có thể được sử dụng để mô tả sự biệt hóa kim loại, tạo phức và phân đoạn trong các loại đất: (i) lý thuyết địa hóa học, (ii) một sự hiểu biết tốt về các tính chất và điều kiện có ảnh hưởng đến biến đổi kim loại đất, và (iii) phân tích trong phòng thí nghiệm, bao gồm cả việc sử dụng đất nhổ tuần tự. Phương pháp tiếp cận địa hóa để tính toán sự biệt hóa kim loại trong dung dịch đất liên quan đến hai phương pháp nhiệt động lực khác nhau, sử dụng các hằng số cân bằng, hoặc năng lượng Gibbs miễn phí. Một số ví dụ về trạng thái cân bằng các tính toán liên tục được minh họa, chỉ ra cách kỹ thuật như là cơ sở của mô hình hóa của các ion kim loại biệt hóa, sử dụng các mô hình như GEOCHEM và SOILCHEM. Quá trình chính liên quan đến việc lưu giữ và di động của kim loại trong đất là (I) phong, (2) giải thể và khả năng hòa tan, (3) lượng mưa, (4) sự hấp thu của các nhà máy, (5) không cử động của sinh vật đất, (6) trao đổi trên các trang web trao đổi cation của đất, (7) hấp phụ và chemisorption cụ thể, (8) thải, và (9) rửa trôi. Các yếu tố chính ảnh hưởng đến độ tan của kim loại trong đất là pH, chất hữu cơ hòa tan và oxi hóa khử. Đối với hầu hết các kim loại vi lượng, ngoài Cd và Zn, trao đổi cation không cụ thể là một cơ chế duy trì ít quan trọng hơn là hấp phụ cụ thể của Fe và Mn oxit và các chất hữu cơ trong đất. Đất quá trình lưu giữ bằng kim loại thường quan trọng hơn nhiều so với quy trình chiết xuất kim loại. Topsoils chịu nước thải đầu vào bổ sung bùn hoặc ô nhiễm kim loại trên không có xu hướng tích tụ kim loại. Nguy cơ chiết xuất kim loại để groundwaters nói chung là nhỏ. Một trong những kỹ thuật chính được sử dụng rộng rãi để xác định số lượng các phân số kim loại khác nhau trong đất là khai thác tuần tự. Một loạt các phương án khai thác theo đơn hàng được trình bày và sự thành công của dự đoán nhà máy sẵn có kim loại từ nhổ cá nhân được đánh giá. 3.1 GIỚI THIỆU Số phận của các kim loại độc hại trong đất không chỉ phụ thuộc vào các điều kiện môi trường và thổ nhưỡng như pH, ngập úng và hàm lượng chất hữu cơ, mà còn về hình thức hóa học ban đầu của kim loại và các loại thực vật và động vật trong hệ thống.

Mt v d v cc th tc dn phosphate pha rn c gii thch bi Sposito (1983).Dissolution reactions for three lead phosphates at standard temperature and pressure are given below, with the calculations for the dissolution constant and the activity ratio given in steps 2 and 3: Step I: Dissolution reactions for three lead phosphates (at 298.15 K) arc given by: (log K values are calculated from Lindsay, 1979)Pb,(P04>2 + 4H* = 3Pb2+ + 2H2PO4log K -1.80(3.4a)Pb,(P04)iCI + 6H + * 5Pb2+ + 3112P04 + Cl'-5.06(3.4b)Pb AI,(P04)2(0H)5.H20 + 9H+ =Pb2 * + 3AI,+ + 2H2P04 + 6H2O9.74(3.4c)

Step 2: The dissolution constant for each reaction is calculated (the example below is for equation (3.4a))lPb2,]' |H;PO;|2 iPb,(Po.,)2]. i H * r' Step 3: The activity ratio is calculated for each part of equation (3.4) (the example below is for equation (3.4a))log K = 3 log Pb2 + + 2 log H2POT - log Pb,(P04h + 4pH

To plot an activity ratio diagram, one of the soil solution parameters must be chosen as the independent variable. The others must be held constant by inserting in (he equation values which represent a typical soil solution concentration for the desired species. Levels of H2PO4 in soil are controlled by the presence of iron phosphates (strengite) at low pH and by calcium phosphates at high pH. Thus for H2PO4, concentrations in the soil solution over pH 3-7 range from I0~5 5 to 106 5 Molar. Using a concentration of 10'6 M, a value of -6 is inserted in place of log H2PO4. Thus, equation (3.6) becomes:log[(Pb(PQ4)n.67)/(Pb2*)] - -2.2 + 4/3pH(3.7a)A constant of 1 is commonly used for the activity of water, and Sposito (1983) uses a concentration of I0~2,M for Cl', and the dissolution reaction of kaolinite (ALSLCMOHH) to calculate A1J+ activity. Thus, he calculateslog(AL,+ ) = 7.48 - 3pHUsing these insertions, equations (3.4b) and (3.4c) similarly become:log|(Pb(P04)n.ftCln.2)/(Pb2*)) =0.88 + ^ pH(3.7b)log[(Pb AI,(P04)2(0H),.H20)/Pb2+)] =0.70Phn ng gii cho ba pht dn nhit v p sut tiu chun c a ra di y, vi nhng tnh ton cho hng s gii th v t l hot ng nht nh trong bc 2 v 3:- Bc I: Gii th phn ng cho ba pht ch (ti 298,15 K) h quang cho bi: (log K gi tr c tnh ton t Lindsay, 1979)Pb, (P04> 2 + 4H * = 3Pb2 + + 2H2PO4 log K -1,80 (3.4a)Pb, (P04) ICI + 6H + + + * 5Pb2 3112P04 + Cl '-5,06 (3.4b)Pb AI, (P04) 2 (0h) 5.H20 + 9H + =Pb2 + * 3AI, + + 2H2P04 '+ 6H2O 9,74 (3.4c)

H20) / Pb2 +)] = 0.70Equations (3.7a), (3.7b) and (3.7c) are plotted in Figure 3.2. For a chosen value of the soil characteristic under examination, for example, soil pH, and assuming that solid phases are in the Standard State, the solid in a soil mixture which produces the largest log[(solid)/(free)] value is the most stable and hence the only one that will form at equilibrium. The activity ratio is largest when the activity of the trace metal cation is the smallest. For the conditions stated in the calculations of equations (3.7a) and (3.7b), Figure 3.2 shows that chloropyroinorphite (Pbj(P04)jCI) is the most stable solid across the pH range of 3-7.Calculation of ion speciation using Gibbs free energiesA second method for assessing the stability of compounds and the dissolution sequence of mixtures of compounds is to calculate the change in Gibbs free energy for selected processes. For an equation such as that in equation (3.1) above, the free energy for the reaction is calculated as:AGr= AG[products] - AG[reactants](3.8)If the result of this calculation is negative, then the reactants are unstable and the reaction will occur spontaneously. If the AG,is positive, the reaction is less likely to occur without other additions to the system. The relationship between K (reaction activity constant) and AGr (change in free energy for the reaction) is given by:AG= - RT In K(3.9)where R = universal gas constant and T = absolute temperature (K).At 25 C, equation (3.9) reduces to:A G,= -1.364 log Kor, more usefully,8r0')1.364This equation is useful for calculating equilibrium constants for chemical weathering reactions in which thermodynamic data are difficult to measure by conventional methods. Lindsay (1979) uses this method to calculate the log A' values of an extremely large number of likely and unlikely trace metal reactions in soil. Lindsay (1979) also develops qualitative diagrams which provide graphic summaries of mineral sequences which might be expected to occur if equilibrium were attained.These types of thermodynamic calculations are useful tools for predicting the general sequence of groups of reactions, but are considered unreliable since they suffer from several important problems: (a) AG calculations are based on chemical species in the Standard State and these conditions arc rarely achievedPhng trnh (3.7a), (3.7b) v (3.7c) c v trong hnh 3.2. i vi mt gi tr c chn ca cc c tnh t di, kim tra, v d, pH ca t, v gi nh rng giai on rn l bang chun, cht rn trong hn hp t trong sn xut cc bn ghi ln nht [(rn) / (min ph)] gi tr l n nh nht v do ch c mt m s hnh thnh trng thi cn bng.

in field conditions; (b) there are difficulties in writing equations which realistically represent complicated reactions and interactions occurring in field soils; (c) the continually changing chemical and physical conditions of field soils and the fact that many mineral transformation processes proceed extremely slowly mean that a true equilibrium is rarely achieved; (d) for many trace metals in soils, reactions involve organic complexes and often very little is known about their formation, structure or interactions with inorganic metal ligands and free ions; and (e) soil organics are continually being produced and decomposed and hence are in a constant state of flux. Despite these drawbacks, thermodynamic calculations provide at least some estimate of element speciation and concentrations in complex systems, and also in cases where concentrations of metal ions and ligands are below detection levels for conventional analytical methods such as atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Such calculations are also the basis of geochemical modelling strategies outlined below. There are currently more reliable and available equilibrium constant data than free energy values and while Gibbs free energy approaches may be adequate for simple systems, equilibrium constant approaches are preferred for large complex systems such as the soil (Nordstrom el al., 1979).3.2.2MODELLING METAL SPECIATION IN SOILSComputer models have been developed over the last decade to calculate the equilibrium partitioning of soluble metal ions, metal ligands and organo- metallic complexes in aqueous solutions and in soils. All are based on standard chemical thermodynamic data. Several publications have tabulated thermodynamic data in standard states: dissociation constants, solubility products, free energies and enthalpies for different solute forms of trace metals (e.g. Feitknecht and Schindler, 1963; Sillen and Martel), 1964; Hogfeldt, 1979; Robie el al., 1979) but problems in using geochemical modelling as a tool for simulating trace metal speciation are sometimes due to inconsistencies in the quoted values of these data. Other problems arise through the need to characterise realistically the amounts and speciation of the major elements in solution to allow correction for the ionic strength activity of the solution. For variable valence elements (especially many trace metals), a knowledge of redox potential is also required in order to determine their valency states.Geochemistry models for aqueous systems have been available for some time, including WATF.Q (Truesdell and Jones, 1974), SOLMNEQ (Kharaka and Barnes, 1973) and REDEQL2 (McDuff and Morel, 1973). These have had the capacity to calculate the concentrations and particular forms of major and some trace elements in solution and to estimate the effects of changing solution conditions, such as pH, Eh, ionic strength, CO2 pressure, or the concentrations of particular ions, on the solubility and speciation of a chosen chemical element in solution. Development of models capable of handling the geochemistry of soil solutions in contact with solid soil particles requires simulation of processes such as solubility equilibria, including precipitation and dissolution reactions, specific adsorption on oxide-like surfaces and cation exchange.

GEOCHEM and SOILCHEM are later developments of the REDEQL model (Morel and Morgan, 1972) which is based on the equilibrium constant approach. GEOCHEM is an iterative program which uses stability constants corrected for ionic strength to calculate the metal and ligand species present. Its main advantages over previous models is its inclusion of a large number of metalligand complexes. GEOCHEM uses a large database of 2000 aqueous species and 889 organic species. In addition, routines have been added to the model to handle ion exchange, adsorption/ resorption processes and clay mineral solubility. Since geochemical simulations are based on thermodynamic calculations, they suffer from the same limitations and benefits .as expressed in Section 3.2.1 above. Simulating concentrations of metal ions and ligands which are below instrument detection levels is advantageous while the problems of non-equilibrium are limiting. Although soils do not reflect equilibrium conditions, it is possible to consider steady state for some of these soil components that are known to react with one another on a short-term and nearest-neighbour basis. This steady slate can be characterised by knowing (i) the soil solids that affect mineral solubility on a short-term basis, and (ii) the type and quantity of organic ligands that are present in macroamounts. For instance, the addition of citric and oxalic acids to soils should, at least temporarily, transform some water-insoluble Al and Fe into water-soluble Al and Fe.The main purpose of geochemical models is the prediction of species composition and concentrations in defined soil conditions. Several applications of the GEOCHEM model have indicated its relatively accurate prediction of metal speciation in various soil contamination conditions. Mattigod and Sposito (1979), for example, modelled the effects on soil chemistry of geothermal brine spillage. In another application, Sposito and Bingham (1981) showed an overall relationship between total soil Cd, and Cd uptake by sweetcorn. They then computed Cd speciation in saturated soil extracts and found a good correlation between plant Cd uptake and concentrations of CdCI* in the soil solution. No relationship was found between Cd in the plant and Cd2* in the soil solution.Lighthart el al. (1983) used GEOCHEM to predict the types and concentrations of Cd and Cu species in soil and the levels that inhibit soil microbial respiration. The model predicted four soil Cd fractions (Cd2*, adsorbed, organic and other) and five soil Cu fractions (Cu2*, hydroxides, carbonates, organic, adsorbed). At a soil total Cd concentration of 0.5 mmol kg"1, the Cd21 concentration was calculated to be I0~5 M, and just within Ihe range considered to be inhibitory to microbial respiration (Figure 3.3(a)). Increasing free Cd2* in solution correlated well with decreasing respiration. The predominant Cd phase in soil was thought to be CdCO.i, which accounted for 40% of Ihe Cd at the 0.5 mmol kg'1 total soil Cd. The speciation of soil Cu is controlled by organic complexation and a strong adsorption affinity. Cu did not have an inhibitory effect until total soil Cu concentrations of 5-50 mmol kg"1 were reached. These levels were computed to have solution Cu2* concentrations of 0.01-0.1 /iM respectively (Figure 3.3(b)).GEOCHEM (Sposito v Mattigod, 1980) v subse xuyn SOILCHEM (Sposito v Coves, 1988) c m hnh bng vn bn c th tnh ton s bit ha ca cc nguyn t ha hc trong dung dch nc, rn v cc hnh thc hp ph trong t.

It is worth clarifying the use of terminology here. The term metal fractionation will be used for the soil fractions in which the metal is located (e.g. easily exchangeable, chemisorbed, or organically bound), while the term metal speciation will be used for the different chemical forms or species in which the metal can exist, such as different oxidation states or the hydroxide or sulphide ligands. In this section the aim will be to review each of the possible processes associated with heavy metals in soil, in light of the major influencing environmental and soil factors.3.3.1 WEATHERING OF PARENT MATERIALSGenerally the trace metal input to soil from in situ weathering of parent rock is low and only likely to produce potentially toxic metal concentrations locally in areas of oxide-rich deposits, ores and other lithologies high in trace metals, such as ultramafic rocks, including serpentine. In soils developed on serpentine, for example, extremely high concentrations of nickel (up to 500-1000 fig Nig 1 total Ni) have been recorded (see Chapter 12, this volume). Such metal-enriched soils are often characterised by very typical plants, including hyperaccumulator species, which can have foliar Niconcentrations as high as 1000/tgg'1 (see Chapter 12, this volume).

Cc cht ha hc weathering processessolution, reduction and oxidationare particularly important processes for trace metals in soils and will be discussed in more detail in the following sections. Background mineralogy and chemical theory relevant to chemical weathering and metal mobility are reviewed by Ollier (1984) and Baton (1978).3.3.2DISSOLUTION/PRECIPITATION, SOLUBILITY AND FREE IONS IN SOLUTIONPrecipitation/dissolution mechanisms and adsorption/desorption mechanisms (Section 3.3.3) are the main physico-chemical processes that control concentrations of metal species in the soil solution. Once in solution, trace metal ions, whether simple or complex, exhibit typical exchange behaviour on silicate clay minerals, with the strength of metal bonding dependant on ion charge and hydration characteristics. In the soil solution, trace metal cations such as Cd2 + , Pb2+ and Cu2+ compete with more abundant soil cations such as Ca2* and Na* for cation exchange sites. For this reason, strong partitioning of trace metals onto cation exchange sites is not normally seen. Instead, many trace metals are specifically adsorbed, or chemisorbed, onto amorphous oxides of Al, Fe and Mn, and also onto soil organic matter (see Section 3.3.3). The rales and direction of both precipitation/dissolution processes and adsorption/ desorption processes are strongly influenced by acidity and redox potential. Theoretically precipitation/dissolution processes should occur at a given pH, and, unlike adsorption and ion exchange processes, precipitation/dissolution is less dependent on the amount of reactant or the different mineral surfaces present in soil. Apart from Fe and Mn, trace metal solubility in soils is not controlled by the solubility product of a pure solid phase (Brummer el al., 1983). This is partly because adsorption of metal cations from the very low soil solution concentrations is able to maintain solution solubility at a level loo low for precipitation to occur. At high metal loadings, and in alkaline and calcareous soils, precipitation processes may begin to control metal ion concentrations in the soil solution. In acid mineral soils and in organic soils, precipitation of metals as hydroxides or carbonates is highly unlikely, even with high metal loadings. Brummer el al. (1983) point out the very close interrelations which exist between ion exchange/adsorption and precipitation/ dissolution processes in the generally low metal concentration environment of the soil.An extremely important breakthrough in understanding mineral and metal solubility in soil was made in 1979 with the publication of the seminal work on soil chemical equilibria by Lindsay (1979), in which he calculated the solubility relationships for a very large number of minerals and metal3.3.2 GII TH / lng ma, ha tan v min ph ion trong SOLUTIONC ch ma / gii th v c ch hp ph / gii hp (mc 3.3.3) l cc qu trnh l ha chnh l kim sot concentrations ca loi kim loi trong dung dch t.

He presents graphs of the solubilities of Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb and Hg minerals, which help in predicting which minerals are likely to control the solubility of these metals in pure solutions of differing pH, redox and ionic composition. Some examples of these calculations are given later in this section. Their applicability to complex soil solutions is questionable, but an understanding of solubility theory is a vital precursor lo estimating how metal cation concentrations in the soil solution may vary in relation to other pedological factors.The kinetics of precipitation-dissolution reactions in soils have been little studied, particularly for metal-containing minerals. Much less is known about controls on rates of solubility processes than for adsorption processes and the lack of kinetic data for solubility processes is a real limitation for modelling metal speciation.3.3.2.1 Influence of acidity on metal solublity in soilOne of the most important factors controlling metal solubility in soils is acidity. Soils in humid temperate climates naturally become more acidic through time by leaching, unless lithological replenishment or anthropogenic inputs of mineral cations occurs. Acid precipitation exacerbates this problem. Other soil processes, particularly organic matter decomposition and root ion uptake, can also contribute, even if only locally, to soil acidification. A summary of the relative mobilities of trace metals in relation to pH and redox (Eh) is given in Table 3.3. According to Plant and Raiswell (1983), many metals are relatively more mobile under acid, oxidising conditions and are retained very strongly under alkaline and reducing conditions.Three types of evidence have been used to indicate how metal solubility increases with increased soil acidity. The first of these is direct measurement of metal ion activities in soils of different pH. Field and pot experiments extracting soil solutes from a range of soil types maintained at different pH conditions have shown that Zn, Cd, Cu and to a lesser extent Pb, are much more soluble at pH 4-5 than in the pH range 5-7 (Brummer and Herms, 1983). Solution metal concentrations increased in the order Cd > Zn > Cu > Pb with decreasing pH. The second type of evidence is provided by correlations between metal uptake in plants and pH of rhizosphere soil. Sarkar and Wyn Jones (1982) found that with increasing soil rhizosphere acidity, french beans took up increasing amounts of Zn, Fe and Mn. Acidity caused by rhizosphere metabolic products, such as H2CO3, was also suggested by Xian and Shokohifard (1989) as a possible reason for increased metal uptake of metal carbonates which become increasingly soluble as soil pH declines. Different plants have differing abilities to acidify their rhizospheres. Youssef and Chino (1991) found that soybean has a greater ability than barley to solubilise Zn, Mn and Fe in the rhizosphere. The third type of evidence is derived from chemical thermodynamic calculations of solid-solution metal equilibria in soils. These types of calculations are discussed in more detail below.phc trong t. ng trnh by th ca cc tnh tan ca Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb v Hg khong cht, gip cho vic tin on c khong sn c kh nng kim sot tan ca cc kim loi trong cc gii php khc nhau ca tinh khit pH, oxy ha kh v thnh phn ion .

Geochemical theory (see Section 3.2.1) can be used to write equilibration reactions for the solubility of soil minerals in the form of equations. Illustrations of these equations in relation to controlling factors such as pH or pH + pe can allow estimation of which mineral solids might be important in controlling metal cation concentrations in the soil solution. The solubility product approach allows identification of the least soluble mineral able to precipitate from the soil solution. Theoretically, this least soluble mineral under the given soil conditions, is likely to control metal ion concentrations in the soil solution. The numerous examples given by Lindsay (1979) confirm that pH plays an important part in many of the reactions. The solubility product approach to estimating which solid phases control metal ion concentrations suffers from a few problems (McBride, 1989):(i)Soil metals are usually present in trace quantities which make it impossible to identify discrete mineral phases.(ii)It is not always possible to measure the free metal ion concentration in solution (separately from metal-ligand complexes) and hence it is not possible to accurately estimate the ion activity product.(iii)It is doubtful whether equilibrium is ever attained in complex field soils.(iv)Pure minerals may not control solution metal ion concentrations because mixed oxides are less soluble and may maintain low metal solubilities.(v)Co-precipitation of metals as impurities in Al, Fe and Mn oxides, sometimes with organic matter, complicates the simple solubility product model.Tattle 3.4.

Figures 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 are graphic illustrations of the relationship between the metal cations Zn24, Pb2+, Cd24 and soil solution pH for a number of selected soil minerals. The log K values used to construct these graphs arc given in Table 3.5 (taken from Lindsay, 1979). Other conditions used in graph construction are given in the keys to each graph. Illustrations of this type can be used to suggest which soil minerals are likely to control soil solution metal ion activity over a given range of soil pH conditions and under the influence of certain controlling factors. For the formation of metal phosphates, for example, the factors which control soil solution HjPO* concentration will alsoHnh 3.5, 3.6 v 3.7 l nhng in hnh ha ca cc mi quan h gia cc cation kim loi Zn24, Pb2 +, Cd24 v gii php pH t cho mt s loi khong sn t c la chn.

At low pH, soil H2PO4 concentrations are controlled by iron phosphates, while at high pH, H2PO4 concentrations are controlled by calcium phosphates. The controls of soil iron and calcium phosphates on the stability of Zn, Pb and Cd phosphates and hence on metal ion activity in the soil solution, are illustrated in Figures 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.The Zn hydroxides, oxides and carbonates are very soluble and will dissolve if added to the soil. In Figure 3.5, smithsonite (Zn carbonate) is the most soluble mineral illustrated. Willemite (Zn silicate) is of intermediate stability and franklinite (a Zn-ferric oxide) is very stable in soil and is probably the most important mineral to control Zn2t activity in soil (Sadiq, 1991). The solubility of Zn2 + in equilibrium with franklinite is controlled by Fe' + activity, which in turn is affected by the presence in soil of different iron minerals. In Figure 3.5 the solubility of franklinite is illustrated for five different forms of soil iron. The solubilities of all Z11 species illustrated in Figure 3.5 decrease 100-fold for every pH unit increase (Lindsay, 1979).In soil, Cd hydroxides, oxides, sulphates and silicates are all extremely soluble. In calculations of Cd stability in soil, Lindsay (1979) shows that CdCO3 (octavite) is the main Cd mineral to control Cd2+ activity in the soil solution (Figure 3.7). At elevated CO2 concentrations, octavite decreases Cd2< solubility 100-fold for every pH unit increase above pH 7.5. Cd phosphates may also influence Cd2t activity in calcareous soils. In the case of both lead and manganese, both pH and redox are important controls on ion solubility. In the range of pH experienced in soils, the most insoluble of the soil lead phosphate minerals, PbsfPC^bCl (chloropyromorphite) has the capability to control Pb2+ concentrations in solution kim sot s hnh thnh ca cc dng photphat kim loi. pH thp, H2PO4 t concen-trations c kim sot bi phosphat st, trong khi pH cao, nng H2PO4 c iu khin bi phosphat calcium.

affinity for Cd1 than for 'Zn21. McBride concludes that transition metals classified as "hard" (sec Table 3.1) are bonded more strongly than soft transition metals. However, soft" non-transition metals (e.g. Pb2') are preferred over harder non-transition metals (e.g. Cd2 + , Mg2' ). Zn2 + displays intermediate behaviour.The kinetics of sorption processes arc not well understood but a little more evidence is available than for solubility reactions. Christensen (1984) found that Cd sorption from low Cd concentration conditions in soils, was extremely rapid, with 95% of the sorption occurring within the first 10 min of a sorption isotherm experiment. Other studies have indicated a two-step sorption process, with an initially rapid first step, representing adsorption onto highly accessible sites on the adsorbing surface, followed by a second, slower type of sorption, characteristic of modified surfaces, co-precipitation associated with Fe and Mn oxides, and solid state diffusion processes (Mattigod el al., 1981). These second stage sorption processes may occur over a period of days. Much further research is required to properly understand the sorption kinetics of different potentially toxic metals on different surfaces under different soil conditions.In addition to problems in understanding the rates of sorption reactions, other concurrent processes, which are closely associaled with metal adsorption, complicate the sorption story:(i)precipitation at the adsorbing surface(ii)formation of ternary complexes(iii)metal diffusion into the mineral surfacePrecipitationBoth adsorption and precipitation of metals may occur at mineral surfaces. These processes arc sometimes difficult to distinguish. Sposito (1986ft) has highlighted this problem for Mn and Fe oxides. Mn oxides, for example, promote the oxidation of Mn and Fe. The resulting close association of Mn with Fe and other heavy metals may be due to co-precipitation rather than adsorption at the oxide surface. Gleam and McBride (1986), working with rather unusual titanium oxides, showed (hat Cu and Mn adsorption and precipitation were pH-related. Al pH < 6, adsorption predominated while al pH > 6, precipitation predominated. A similar pattern was reported for Pb, with adsorption occurring below pH 6 and the precipitation of lead carbonates occurring al pH > 6 (Harter, 1979).Ternary complexesMetal sorption in soil can be complicated by the formation of stable

Sposito (1983) identifies four categories of ligand effects:(a)the ligand has a high affinity for the metal, forms a stable complex and the complex has either(i)a high affinity, or(ii)a low affinity for the adsorbing surface(b)the ligand has a high affinity for the adsorbing surface and is adsorbed, then the adsorbed ligand has either(i)a high affinity, or(ii)a low affinity for the metal.Categories (a(i)) and (b(i)) above would result in enhanced adsorption of the metal while categories (a(ii and (b(ii)) would result in decreased metal adsorption. Both organic and inorganic ligands can enhance metal adsorption in this way. An organic ligand example of (a(i)) above is provided by glutamic acid which increases Cu2+ adsorption on amorphous iron oxide (Davis and Leckie, 1978). Not all organic ligands promote metal adsorption. Farrah and Pickering (1977) found that EDTA prevented the adsorption of Cd on clay minerals over a wide pH range. Haas and Horowitz (1986) found a similar depression of Cd adsorption on kaolinite in the presence of EDTA, but Cd sorption was slightly promoted in the presence of alginic acid and humic acid (see Figure 3.11(e)). Chairidchai and Ritchie (1990) have subsequently shown that Zn sorption in soil is depressed in the presence of several organic ligands found in the rhizosphere. This effect may increase availability of Zn to plants. Phosphate and sulphate complexion with metals at the surface of soil minerals is thought to be an important adsorption process for Cd on Fe and Mn oxides (Benjamin and Leckie, 1982), Zn on Fe and Al oxides (e.g. Bolland el al., 1977; Shuman, 1986) and Cu on allophane (Clark and McBride, 1985). The effect of different levels of soil extractable P on Zn sorption is illustrated in Figure 3.11(f). Since sulphate and phosphate tend to be present in soils in higher concentrations than trace metals, they have the potential, through ternary complex formation and precipitation, of controlling the availability of trace metals to plants.Melal diffusion al the mineral surfaceMetal sorportion reactions may not be restricted to the mineral surface, but metal diffusion into the mineral structure can occur. Gerth and Brummer (1983) reported the diffusion of Zn, Ni and Cd into goethite, with the rates of these three metals decreased in the order Ni < Zn < Cd, paralleling their ionic radii of 0.35, 0.37 and 0.49 A respectively. These authors suggest that melal adsorption is determined by three different steps: surface adsorption, diffusion into the mineral and fixation at positions within the mineral.

Cd and 7.n have greater cation exchange abilities on layer silicates, but the relative strength of their adsorption on soil oxides and organic fractions (Table 3.10(b)) is less. More than the other divalent metal ions, Cu2* is strongly adsorbed by organic matter and soil oxides. McLaren el til. (1981), measuring Cu adsorption on a range of soil clay minerals, oxides and organic mailer, found that On sorption on Fe and Mn oxides and humic acids could be as much as five to six times higher than on soil clay minerals, while sorption on fulvic acids was only around two times higher (Figure 3.12).Table 3.11 is an attempt to summarise the salient characteristics of soil-metal adsorption for C'd, (Ti, Zn and Pb. Comparing the soil sorption characteristics of these four metals, there are some clear similarities and some dear differences in behaviour. First, the effect of soil pH on metal adsorption is strong for Cd, Zn and Pb, but less so for Cu. The general retention pattern for most trace metals in relation to soil pi I is similar to that described by Yong ci til. (1990) I'm lead:(i)cation exchange processes at low pH(pl-l 2-4), with differences due tovalence and ionic si/T.(ii)formation of soluble hydroxy species at intermediate pll (pH 4-6) which are adsorbed on clay surfaces, and(iii)when pH exceeds that required for hydroxide formation (pH>5), precipitation processes dominate.Ca1 has been shown to be important in inhibiting divalent metal cation sorption for Cd2'. Zn2'1 and Pb2'1. Theoretically, this could reduce metal sorption in calcareous soils, but in practice, the higher pll of such soils elevates metal retention overall and Cd (and possibly other metals) has been shown to be specifically sorbed by calcite (Alloway el at.. 1988). The sorption of metals by organic matter is a particularly important process for Cu and for Pb. Cu, Pb and Zn form stable soluble organic chelates in water, and in the soil solution and in sludge-treated soils, Neal and Sposito (1986) found that soluble organic chelates of Cd reduced metal sorption. When soluble sludge organics were removed from soil by washing, Cd adsorption on soil mineral materials was increased.Summarising the above information would lead us to suggest that Cd and Zn might be more mobile in soils than Cu or Pb since these two ions tend to be sorbed by cation exchange, and competing ions in the soil solution (including H+, through pH effects) are likely to successfully replace these ions on exchange complexes. Cd and Zn migration and mobility through soil may tints be enhanced by soil acidification. Soils high in Fe, Mn and Al oxides and in organic matter, such as brown forest soils or podsols. could potentially adsorb all divalent metals, but preferentially retain Cu, Pb and, to a lesser extent, Zn. In soils to which organic sludges have been applied, Cu, Pb and Zn would be the most likely organo-metallic soluble chelates in leachateTable 3.11.

The desorption processes associated with Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu, and their controlling factors, have been less studied than sorption processes. Information on metal sorption was sought to allow estimations of acceptable metal loadings to soils. Indications that metal desorption patterns arc different from sorption patterns confirms that implying desorption patterns and quantities from studies of metal adsorption would provide an inadequate estimation. Experimentation designed to produce information specifically on metal desorption is now required for predicting soil outputs and subsequent likely pollution inputs to adjacent watercourses.3.3.4 ORGANIC COMPLEXATION AND CHELATIONOrganic complexation of metals in soils and waters is thought to be one of the most important factors governing solubility and bioavailability of metals in soil-plant systems. It is important to differentiate between naturally occurring organic compounds in soil and those compounds derived from mans activities. Senesi (1992) divides into three main classes the organic compounds in soil which could form metal complexes:(i)naturally occurring soil organic molecules of known structure and chemical properties, including aliphatic acids, polysaccharides, amino acids, polyphenols;(ii)anthropogenically derived organic chemicals from agriculture, industrial and urban activities;(iii)humic and fulvic acid substances which accumulate in soil but whose structures are unknown in detail.By far the largest source of organic matter in soils is the decomposition of plant residues. Soil organic matter (SOM) is an incredibly complex mixture of different organic compounds whose detailed composition is never completely known, partly because of the difficulty in determining the exact molecular configurations of lignin and its aromatic decay products, and partly because organic matter decomposition continually changes its composition. In general, the composition of SOM is dominated by large molecular weight humin and humic acid (HA) compounds and lower molecular weight fulvic acids (FA). Schnitzer and Khan (1972) define humic acids as molecules having molecular weights of around 10 000-2000, and fulvic acids as having molecular weights around 2000-500. Organic compounds that are present in the smallest amounts are those which are broken down easilythe carbohydrates, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses and polysaccharides. Nitrogen-containing compounds, including proteins and amino acids, are also fairly easily decomposed. Plant- protecting compounds such as lignins, tannins and waxes, are broken down only with difficulty and thus remain in soil for longer periods. Apart from studies of simple organic ligands in plant root exudates, studies of organo- metallic complexation in soil have focused on the more persistent HA and FA fractions since these compounds potentially affect the longer term fate of metals in soil-plant systems.The first studies of metal-organic complexation in soils aimed to elucidate mechanisms of metal, particularly iron and aluminium, migration during podsolisation. The earliest studies implicated the role of polyphenols from tree foliar drip in chelating and mobilising soil Fe and Al (e.g. Bloomfield, 1957; Coulson el al., 1960; Malcolm and McCracken, 1968). A second school of thought, headed by Schitzer and his colleagues in the USA, emphasised the importance of humic and fulvic acids in Fe and Al mobility and translocation (e.g. Schnitzer and Desjardins, 1969). Subsequent investigators of toxic metals and their mobility in soils have analogised from these early studies. After a waning of interest from pedologists studying podsolisation, recently attention has swung back to the metal-chelating properties of fresh litter organics and of smaller molecular weight organic molecules. One of the reasons for this increased interest is the influences of acid rain and leaf litter acidification on metal mobility in soil. McColl and Pohlman (1986), for example, found that organic acids from Pinus ponderosa litter leached Al and other metals faster than mineral acids at comparable pH and concentration. They identified oxalic, malic, citric, protocatechuic and salicylic acids as chelating organic acids. In terms of binding and transporting capacity of potentially toxic metals, it is now generally agreed that fulvic acids are the most important organic fraction in soils. Humic acids do have important metal-binding capacity, but their molecular size and configuration means that they are generally less mobile in the soil pore-space and less likely to be leached down the soil profile. Humic acids are thus regarded more as the metal-immobilising fraction of soil organic matter.It would be wrong to underestimate the importance of organo-metallic complexation in maintaining in solution metal ions which under the more normal pH ranges of soils (around neutrality and in slightly neutral conditions) would normally be converted into insoluble compounds. Enhanced solubility of potentially toxic metals through organic chelation can cause environmental problems in, for example, leachates from disposal sites, or from sewage sludge applications. Soluble organic chelates provide the mobile, transport phase for metal migration, particularly contributing to the contamination of surface and groundwaters. Where organo-metallic complexes are resistant to biodegradation, their persistence in the environment makes them extremely important in the transport of metals. Francis el al. (1992) confirmed this suggestion even for very small molecular weight citrate-metal complexes which they found to be resistant to bacterial decay.As well as increasing metal mobility through enhanced solubility, metal chelates may also affect the bioavailability of toxic metals to plants. Piccolo (1989), for example, found that the addition of humic acid to both organic and mineral soils acted to immobilise soluble and exchangeable forms of potentially toxic metals. The effect was more pronounced in mineral soils I 10which had lower organic mater contents at the outset. To quantify amounts of bioavailable metals after HA treatment. Piccolo (1989) determined extract- able metals in DTIA (diethylenctriamincpcnlnacclic acid) extracts. The effectiveness of added HA in decreasing metal extractabilily followed the order: Pb > Cu > Cd > Ni > Zn. This is more or less the same order as the stability constants of humic substances: Cu > Pb Cd (Takamatsu and Yoshida. 1978). Since added organic substances influence both metal mobility and bioavailability, and the effects may be different, depending on the original amounts and fractions of soil organic matter, the additions of sewage sludges and other organic slurries and leachates to soils should be planned with great care and with suitable attention to in situ soil conditions.Soluble metal chelates can also reduce the concentrations of toxic metal ions in solution. Much attention has been focused on organo-Al complexes in soil since these arc likely to limit transport of toxic Al'* to groundwaters and adjacent watercourses, Bloom el at. (1979) has shown that Ihe chelation of Al1* by humic acids in acid soils controls the soil solution concentration of toxic Al'1. Similar results have been reported by Hue el al. (1986) who showed that Al'1 chelation with short chain carboxylic acids, such as citric, oxalic and tartaric acids, is an important Al detoxifying process in acid subsoils where deep roots would otherwise suffer Al1* toxicity. The complexing of Al1* with I IA in acid topsoils has even been shown to reduce the need for liming (Hoyt, 1977).As with inorganic ligands the classification of metals according to Pearson (1968 ) and Nicboer and Richardson (1980; see Table 3.1) indicates their organic ligand complexing tendencies. Seticsi (1992) has tabulated the preferred electrostatic interactions of class A, class B and intermediate metals (Table 3.12). Prom this (able it can be predicted that most potentially toxic metals, classified as borderline metals by Nieboer and Richardson, will have a stronger tendency to form organic complexes with N-containing amide and amino ligands: MnJ Cu> Cd> Ni> Zn. y l nhiu hn hoc t hn theo th t nh cc hng s n nh ca cht humic: Cu> Pb Cd (Takamatsu v Yoshida 1978.).

Their affinity sequence of metals for undefined humic substances followed the order:Cu2+> Pb24> Zn2' = Ni24 > Co24 > Cd24 > Mn2f> Ca2' > Mg2 +These patterns of metal affinity agree very well with that reported in an empirical study of soil fulvic acid with an ionic strength of 0.1 and pH 3 (Schnitzer and Harmsen, 1970):Fe34 > Al34 > Cu24 > Ni24 > Co24> Pb24 = Ca24 > Mn24 > Mg24and agrees well with the theory that class B and borderline metals should show stronger binding affinities with soil organic ligands than should class A metals.3.3.4.2Spectrophotometric techniques for studying metal binding on organic matterA large number of spectroscopy techniques have been valuable in elucidating how metal complexation occurs in HA and FA fractions. Most important of these spectroscopic techniques are infrared (IR), electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). While the techniques will not be discussed here, some of the major results will be used to illustrate current understanding of complexation processes. It is valuable to review the mechanisms of metal binding to soil organic fractions since these provide information on the activities of functional groups, and on the exchangeability and potential mobility of metals. A comprehensive review of spectrophoto- metric and other techniques for assessing metal bonding in HA and FA from different environmental origins is given by Senesi (1992).IR spectroscopy has shown how important COOH groups on HA are in metal complexing. IR results confirmed the earlier work of Schnitzer and Skinner (1965) who chemically blocked the acid carboxyl (COOH) and the phenolic hydroxyl (OH) groups on soil fulvic acid and showed that both ligand types were important sites of metal binding during chelation. Piccolo and Stevenson (1982) found that the quantity of metal ion available for complexing determined the type of binding which occurred on the dissociated COO" of soil FA and HA fractions. Al low levels of Cu24, covalent bonds are preferentially formed, while at higher metal concentrations, bonding becomes increasingly ionic. Perhaps the biggest insights into these mechanisms of metal and HA ligand binding has come from studies using ESR spectrophotometry. These techniques have indicated how two levels of metal binding are possible:(i)inner sphere complexes in which metals form bonds of covalent character with HA ligands, and both are completely or partially dehydrated; and(ii)outer sphere complexes in which metals are electrostatically attracted to HA functional ligands, and the metal ion remains hydrated.Very simple examples of these two types of complexation are illustrated in Figure 3.14. Inner sphere complexes are properly called chelates since functional groups donate electron pairs to the metal ion. In outer sphere complexation, the ligand does not interact directly with the electrons of the metal ion. Authors have implied from these two types of complexation that metals bound to outer sphere complexes may be more readily available for exchange, and for plant and microbial uptake.Lakatos el at. (1977) has added more detail to understanding of inner and outer sphere binding mechanisms using ESR spectrophotometry. These authors classified HA ligands into three categories, depending on the predominant type of complexation that occurred in experiments with Mnu, V02+ and Cu2 + . Weak complexing groups, including sulphonic, phosphoric, carboxylic and aliphatic groups, formed weak outer sphere coordinations. Strong complexing ligands, including iminodiacetate acetylacetonate, peptide and porphyrin groups, formed inner sphere complexes. Lakatos el at. (1977) suggested that carboxyl groups are a third category, which are borderline in their completing abilities, since they tended to form inner sphere complexesmi quan h ca cc ion kim loi trong axit fulvic nh mt ton th c tm thy gim theo th t:Fe, 4> Cu2 *> Zn24> MnJ +> Ca2 +> Mg24Trnh t ny rt ging vi to bi Tipping v Hurley (1992), ngi mu kim loi rng buc v cht humic.
