    Abstract:
    A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effect of metal spiking and incubation on some properties and sequentially extractable chemical pools of some heavy metals (F1, two extractions with 0.1 M Sr(NO3)2; F2, one extraction with 1 M NaOAc (pH 5.0); F3, three extractions with 5% NaOCl (pH 8.5) at 90-95 degrees C; F4, three extractions with 0.2 M oxalic acid + 0.2 M ammonium oxalate + 0.1 M ascorbic acid (pH 3.0); and F5, dissolution of sample residue in HF-HClO4 (residual fraction,) and also 1 M CaCl2 and 0.005 M DTPA extractable heavy metals in sewage sludge. Metal spiking and incubation decreased pH and easily oxidizable organic C content of sludge but increased electrical conductivity. Metal spiking and incubation increased F1 fraction of all heavy metals, F2 fraction of Ni, Pb, Cu, and Cd, F3 fraction of Pb, Cu, and Cd, F4 or reducible fraction of Ni, Cu, and Cd and residual fraction of Zn and Pb, but decreased F2 fraction of Zn, F3 of Zn and Ni, F4 fraction of Zn and F5 fraction of Ni, Cu, and Cd. Metal spiking and incubation increased 1 M CaCl2 and 0.005 M DTPA extractable amounts of all heavy metals in sludge except for 0.005 M DTPA extractable Zn, which registered only very marginal decrease.
