Popis: Background, aim, and scope Various metals such as cationic metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and anionic metals (As, Cr) often coexist in real soils, and normal soil washing techniques for the removal of cationic metals with a single-washing reagent make it rather difficult to simultaneously remove all of them. Oxalate could effectively remove anionic As and EDTA could effectively remove the cationic metals, so it was possible to remove all coexisting cationic and anionic metals by washing with the combination of Na2EDTA and oxalate. The objective of this study was to (1) discuss the possibility of removing five metals, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, effectively from the soil by washing with Na2EDTA-combined oxalate; (2) optimized through the consecutive washing.
