Many soils in the neighbourhood of nonferrous galvanising or painting industries, or after the application of sewage or harbour sludge to land, are severely contaminated with heavy metals as Cd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb etc. Treatment of these soils happens by extracting the metals with acids or complexformers. Later the elution solution had to be treated with physico-chemical methods for the elimination of the metals.
