oxicity characteristic leaching procedure(TCLP) is designed o determine the mobility of both organic and inorganicompounds present in solid wastes. The Taiwan Government isurrently using TCLP as the evaluation process for controlledazardous wastes including contaminated soil. We now havevidence that in some cases of soil, it may be possible toeduced the concerntration of heavy metal in TCLP extracthrough the formation of metal- humate complexes.umic acid , compost and peat were incorporated into threeifferent types of soil in an attempt to reduce the mobilityf Cd, Pb, and Cu. The amended soils were moistended to 50%nd 100% field capacity and incubated at 4℃, 20℃ and 35 ℃.hen humic acid was added to soil, a significant decrease Cund Pb in TCLP extract was obsered. Addition of peat andompost to soil showed less effect on the binding of Cu and Pbo humus. The organic matter derived from humic acid was ateast two times more effective than peat for formationd-humate complexes; additing compost was nearly as effectives peat.
