Zinc speciation was studied by EXAFS spectroscopy, μ-SXRF elemental mapping, XRD, and chemical extraction methods in two smelter-impacted soils sampled near one of the largest Pb and Zn processing plants in Europe, which is located in northern France about 50 km south of Lille. The tilled and wooded soils chosen for study differ in Zn concentration (≈600 and 1400 mg/kg, respectively), soil pH (7.5 and 5.5, respectively), and organic matter content (1.5 and 6.4 wt% TOC, respectively). In both soils, the occurrence of Fe- and Zn-rich (up to 10 wt% Zn) slag particles ranging in size from a few micrometers to a few millimeters, was shown by m-SXRF elemental mapping of soil thin sections as well as by SEM and chemical analysis of different soil size fractions. For both soils, XRD analysis of the dense coarse fraction, which contains up to 10 wt% Zn, revealed the presence of a minor amount (1-1.5 wt%) of crystalline ZnS (sphalerite and wurtzite). In this fraction, EXAFS data show that Zn is mainly incorporated in the tetrahedral sites of a magnetite- franklinite solid solution.
