This document summarizes wet chemical procedures used for sequential extraction of mineral species from complex matrices. The methods focus on selectively removing compounds using progressively stronger reagents, accommodating diverse sample chemistries. Examples include the analysis of hydrated iron sulfate minerals from the Henryville bed and the sequential extraction of heavy metals from Bloomington soil. This comprehensive approach facilitates understanding of metal distribution and potential environmental impacts through detailed fractionation techniques.

Sequential Extractions: • Wet chemical procedures utilizing progressively stronger reagents/“solvents” to preferentially remove mineral species, or compounds, to separate them from a complex matrix. • Individual procedures are dictated by sample chemistries.
