| Abstract | BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. An aluminum window manufacturing plant in Malden, Missouri (USA) contaminated a sandy soil with blue-green Cr-Al coprecipitates from effluent suspensions. A bimodal Cr distribution with peak concentrations at the surface and at approximately 1 m demonstrates Cr mobility in this soil. Elevated Cr at 1 m is associated with increased clay content and Mn(II). Chromium's mobility is attributed to a rapid leaching of chromate at the time of deposition and the possible very slow dissolution of Cr(OH)4-. Significant amounts of chromate were likely reduced to Cr(III) oxyhydroxides because of organic matter oxidation and hydrolysis. |
