Chemical Distribution and Gaseous Evolution of Arsenic-74 Added to Soils as DSMA-74As
1976
Akins, Michael B. | Lewis, Russell J.
Gaseous evolution of ⁷⁴ As from a soil treated with arsenic-74 labeled disodium methanearsonate (DSMA-⁷⁴ As) at 100 µg/g was a function of organic matter addition and moisture conditions. Loss of ⁷⁴As was greatest from soils that received an exogenous carbon source and were maintained under wet conditions. Arsenic-74 sorbed by soils of pH 4, 6, and 8 was fractionated by a differential dissolution procedure commonly used for phosphorus. Iron arsenate (soluble in 0.1N NaOH) was the most abundant form followed by aluminum arsenate (soluble in 0.5N NH₄F). The soils generally contained more aluminum arsenate at pH 4 than at pH 6 or 8. Calcium arsenate fractions (soluble in 0.5N H₂SO₄) were usually higher at pH 6 and 8 than at pH 4. Water-soluble forms and nonextractable forms were inversely proportional to each other.
