Abstract
⺠Effects of citric and tartaric acid on metal mobilization in contaminated mine soils. ⺠Metal desorption was related to the type of organic acid and its concentration. ⺠Decreasing pH and dissolution of oxides by organic acids determined metal desorption. ⺠Low concentrations of organic acids did not increase metal mobilization. ⺠Citric acid at high concentrations (5-10 mM) remarkably promoted Cu mobilization.
