Arsenic extractability with various solutions from peat samples collected in Deuli Village, Bangladesh, was investigated to reveal the leaching mechanisms of arsenic in sediments to groundwater. Peat layer was distributed at the depth of 7-8 m in the sediments, and the peat samples collected and used in this experiment contained 137 mg kg^<-1> arsenic. A wide range of pH values and concentrations of phosphoric acid and trisodium citrate was used for the extracting solutions. Arsenic extractability with HC1 (25-1,000 mM) or NaOH (20-500 mM) at different pH values ranged for 30 to 60% in strong acid or alkali, while was less than 0.1% in the neutral pH range against the total content. Extraction of arsenic with 100 mM phosphoric acid and 100 mM trisodium citrate was about 20% even at a neutral pH, while the extractability with these solutions at concentrations below 1 mM was similar to that with distilled water. These results suggest that competitive exchange and/or chelating action are/is the prior possible mechanism for arsenic leaching from peat. However, the experimental conditions such as pH value or phosphate anion concentration differed from those in the study area where the pH of groundwater was almost neutral and the phosphate anion concentration was only 0.01 mM. Moreover, since the experiment was conducted using a batch system under oxidative conditions and not using a continuous flow system, the importance of the oxidation-reduction potential in the sediments and organic matter content in the groundwater should be investigated.
