“…The lowest concentrations of Cr, Ni and Co were observed in the soluble exchangeable fraction. This finding supports the idea that as a result of complete hydrolysis in tropical climates, clay minerals have a weak chance to form and heavy metals are directly immobilised in oxides ( Massoura et al, 2006). In the set of soil samples we studied, oxides are the main contributor to the available heavy metals rather than clay minerals.…”

“…The only identified clay mineral in the analysed soils was kaolinite. According to Massoura et al (2006), the possible source of kaolinite in serpentinitic soils could be the complex geological history of the parent minerals. Kostic et al (1998) have reported disordered kaolinite in the serpentinite soils of Serbia as a result of feldspar conversion.…”

Serpentinite soils are characterised by high concentrations of chromium, nickel, and cobalt. The accumulation of heavy metals as non-degradable inorganic contaminants is of great concern. Under normal circumstances the form in which a metal exists governs its transport in the environment and thus, its hazards. In this study, a specific developed speciation analysis for tropical soils was applied to determine the mobility of Cr, Ni and Co in two serpentinitic soil outcrops in Malaysia. The combination of selective sequential extraction analysis (SEE) and X-ray diffraction of soil powders showed that Cr and Ni are primarily associated with the residual fraction of soil which is inherited from resistant silicates. The crystalline Fe-oxide fraction of soil is the second substanial scavenger of Cr and Ni, whilst the dynamics of Co are mostly controlled by Mn-oxide and the poor crystalline Fe-oxide. The more easily mobilised forms of the studied metals carried on soluble-exchangeable, surface adsorbed and organic matter fractions are of minimal compartments. Therefore these metals are basically not available in the environment. On the other hand, corroborating information on the mobility of the metals was gained by applying the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure test (TCLP). The consistent results of the TCLP with the SSE revealed the non-toxic effects of Cr, Ni and Co in the environment despite their overload accumulation in the analysed serpentinite soils.

This paper presents the results of the research of soil contamination in flooded area located at the confluence of Bosna and Sava rivers. The sampling was performed according to a network of points Etrs89 reference European Network based on grid points of 500 m x 500 m. The total number of soil samples was 31 and 13 samples of sediment-mud. In the soil samples and sediment-mud samples various parameters were analyzed: pH H2O and 1 M KCl, humus (method by Tjurin), and the readily available phosphorus and potassium (AL method). The interpretation of total content of heavy metals in the soil was conducted according to Dutch Soil Remediation Circular (2009). The samples were analyzed for the total content of heavy metals: Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu (aqua regia digestion, AAS) and the elevated concentrations of Ni. However, Ni content in mud was from 240.5 mg/kg to 294.5 mg/kg, in soil it was from 128.9 mg/kg to 452.1 mg/kg. All mud samples were alkaline, and 79% of soil samples were alkaline and of neutral reaction. The analysis indicated that the flood in May 2014 was not caused by soil contamination with heavy metals, which however contributed to the increase of the overall content of these elements in the soil.

“…Low Ni availability in serpentine and chlorite has been reported for a wide range of different soils by Echevarria et al [20] and Massoura et al [63], and attributed to the presence of Ni in the crystal lattice. However, in ultramafic soils, Ni availability was found by Massoura et al…”

“…It is noticeable that other studies show that Ni associated to goethite is predominantly included in the crystal lattice, and thus less available with respect to serpentine and chlorite or even unavailable [12,20,63,70].…”

International audienceThe overall objective of this work was to assess the modification of Ni availability and lability consequently to anthropic activity. Surface waters were collected in two ultramafic complexes (Barro Alto and Niquelandia) from Goias State (Brazil) impacted by mining and metallurgical activities. For the nearly first time, Isotopic Exchange Kinetic technique (IEK) was performed on these natural water samples to quantify the pool of isotopically exchangeable Ni from the suspended particulate matter (SPM) in water, defined here as E-Ni(W). The SPM mineralogy was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM). This allowed to establish the link between Ni availability and its solid speciation. Goethite, chlorite, talc and serpentine were identified as the main Ni bearing phases in SPM far from metallurgy (Barro Alto site) while in samples located in the area influenced by metallurgy (Niquelandia) Ni was mainly associated to spherical micrometric particles, related to fly ash produced by the ore combustion. In Niquelandia samples 4,1, value was found ranging between 2.4 and 565 mu g L-1, while in Barro Alto E-Ni(W) was 62 mu g L-1, which corresponds to E-Ni values of 49,000 and 2350 mg kg(-1), in SPM from Niquelandia and Barro Alto, respectively. Moreover, IEK experiments highlighted differences in kinetic of Ni exchanges: the maximum E-Ni(W) value was reached after only 19 hours of interaction in Barro Alto sample, while in Niquelandia ones E-Ni(W) hardly reached 70 to 95% of the maximum after the same period of time. On the one hand, both the low proportion and high velocity of Ni exchanges observed in Barro Alto sample may be attributed to surface complexation on talc, serpentine, chlorite and goethite. On the other hand, both the higher proportion of exchangeable stock and slower isotopic exchanges should be mostly attributed in Niquelandia samples to Ni interaction with the anthropogenic spherical and porous particles of Fe-Mg-Si-Al composition, related to FBA released by metallurgic activity
