Trace Metal Enrichment in the Colloidal Fraction in Soils Developing on Abandoned Mine Spoils
The release of colloid-bound trace metals from abandoned coal mine spoils can potentially be a significant source of contamination during weathering. We examined the size-dependent enrichment of trace metals in mine spoil samples using centrifugation and acid extraction to compare metal loading in t...
