摘要
This study carried out a geochemical approach on heavy-metal contamination of soils derived from black shale (balck-shale soils) from the HJC uranium mine in central Hunan Province, China. Four soil profiles numbered as A, B, C and D were surveyed and sampled. The concentrations of major elements, heavy metals, and other trace elements as well as rare earth elements of the soils from the four profiles, the bedrocks (the black shale) and the maize were analyzed using the ICP-MS machine. The results show that the black-shale soils of the mine are enriched in Al2O3 and Fe2O3, and depleted by CaO, Na2O, with CIA ranging from 79 to 84. The results show that the metal Cd might be a long-time lasting heavy-metal contamination for the soils, and the contamination extents of metals Mo, Sn, Sb and U might be reduced by releasing of the metals during weathering of the soils.
