In the present study, different leaching tests were applied on well- characterised samples in order to obtain information on the potential mobility of heavy metals and arsenic. The information deduced from the different methods was compared and evaluated. Besides the comparison of heavy metal...

pH is one of the key parameters that determines heavy metal mobility in soils, sediments and waste materials. In many respects leaching behaviour as reflected by the pHstat leaching tests provide a better means of assessing environmental impact than analysis of total elemental composition. This...
