Abstract

The NTA/EDTA fractionation of sediment-bound, inorganic phosphate was improved and made more effective. The iron-bound phosphate is now extracted with Ca-EDTA plus dithionite and followed by an extraction of calcium-bound phosphate by Nat-EDTA at pH = 4.5. A comparison is made with two other sequential extraction procedures: the SEDEX and the Hieltjes & Lijklema extractions. The EDTA extractions have an advantage over the other two methods.
