Fractionation and Risk Assessment of Rare Earth Elements in Drill Cuttings from Petroleum Wells in Ultra-Deep Waters
摘要
The mobility and bioavailability of rare earth elements (REE) from anthropogenic activity has aroused environmental interest and concern. In this work, we evaluated the chemical fractionation of REE in drill cutting (DC) samples from oil wells in ultra-deep waters by the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction procedure. Sequential extraction in the DC samples showed that the concentration of REE in the fractions followed the order of residual > reducible > weak acid soluble > oxidant. The environmental risk, evaluated by the risk assessment code (RAC), potential ecological risk factor (
