Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Using geochemical indicators to distinguish high biogeochemical activitiy in floodplain soils and sediments (2016), Sci Total Environ. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Synthetic precipitation leaching
   Synthetic precipitation leach tests were conducted on East River samples to determine metal mobility. The synthetic precipitation consisted of 60:40 H₂SO₄:HNO₃ in Milliq water adjusted to a pH of 4.2 ± 0.05 to simulate metals released as rainwater leaches through soil. The extraction fluid was combined with dry sediment passed through a 0.991 cm sieve in a 20:1 ratio of extractant to sediment and shaken for 18 h. The extract was sampled, filtered to 0.45 μm, and acidified with trace metal grade for analysis by ICP-AES.
