Abstract
The species of copper and zinc have been identified in primary, secondary,digested and zinc(II) spiked sewage sludges using a sequential extraction procedure. Significant differences in the metal forms with the sludge type and zinc loading were not observed. Good correlation was found to exist between the major metal form and total metal present in each case.Keywords
