To examine the distribution of extractable Ni and Cr in mud of rivers, mud extraction was carried out with 0.5N HCl, 0.2M EDTA, and 2N CH
3COONH
4, respectively. The mud samples were collected from upper and lower streams of Japanese rivers of the first category.
It was consequently demonstrated that bottom mud in rivers contained 1-5 ppm Ni and Cr soluble in 0.5N HCl and 0.2M EDTA, and not soluble in 2N CH
3COONH
4. The bottom mud of rivers, which run through densely populated and industrial areas, contained much extractable Cr. On the other hand, only small amounts of Cr and Ni were extracted with various extractants from the mud of rivers in the serpentine belt containing a relatively large concentrations of these two metals.
