Abstract

A comprehensive review of the single and sequential extraction schemes for metal fractionation in environmental samples such as soil and industrially contaminated soils, sewage sludge and sludge amended soils, road dust and run off, waste and miscellaneous materials along with other approaches of sequential extraction methods are being presented. A discussion on the application of chemometric methods in sequential extraction analysis is also being given. The study of single and sequential extraction methods for various reference materials are also being looked into. The review covers several aspects of the single and sequential extraction methodologies. The use of each reagents involved in these schemes are also discussed briefly. Finally the present upto date information by different workers in various fields of environmental geochemistry along with the possible future developments are also being outlined.
