The aim of this paper was to study the extraction efficiency of different extracting agents for heavy metals in different types of soil.Three extracting agents (DTPA,HCl,EDTA) were used to extract heavy metals (Zn,Pb,Cd,Cu) in yellow paddy soil and purple paddy soil,and the extraction efficiency of them were compared.The results showed that,it had significantly difference in extraction amount and extraction rate of different extracting agents to the different types of soil.The average content of Zn,Pb,Cd,Cu which were extracted by DTPA were...
