ABSTRACT
Amorphous iron in soil may compete with lead for EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) ligand sites in the extraction of lead from lead sulfate-contaminated soil. Experiments conducted with varying amounts of amorphous iron content indicated that the extraction efficiency of lead with EDTA from lead sulfate-contaminated soil was effected especially for pH values less than 6.0. The percent extraction of lead from the contaminated soil depends on the lead: EDTA stoichiometric ratio, pH, and amorphous iron concentration. The effect of amorphous iron on lead extraction appeared to be dominant at pH less than 6 for lead: EDTA stoichiometric ratio of less than 1 : 2. The theoretically calculated model using thermodynamic data approxi¬mately matched with the results experimentally conducted.
