We systematically modified parameters of EPA 3060A towards improving extraction efficiency of Cr(VI) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard reference material (SRM) 2701, a standard COPR-contaminated soil from New Jersey, USA. A material similar to NIST 2701 prepared in the laboratory from contaminated soil referred to as 2B was also analyzed. Extraction parameters tested were particle size, glass or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) extraction vessels, volume of extraction solution to mass of sample, and extraction time. In addition to Cr(VI), post extraction fluid was analyzed for total Cr, Al, Si, B, Fe, V, Ca, Mg. Select solid residues of extracted NIST 2701 were analyzed for mineralogy by qualitative X-ray diffraction and for total chemistry by lithium metaborate fusion followed by ICP-OES.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.589a1482e4b0efcedb71a548.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7PG1PXD", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_589a1482e4b0efcedb71a548", "keyword": ["MRP", "Colorado", "NIST", "Hexavalent Chromium", "Mineral Resources Program", "EPA", "Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center", "CGGSC", "SRM 2701", "Method 3060A", "City of Denver", "United States Environmental Protection Agency", "Hudson County", "National Institute of Standards and Technology", "USGS:589a1482e4b0efcedb71a548", "soil pollution", "New Jersey", "chemical analysis"], "modified": "2020-09-29T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-180.0, -90.0, 180.0, 90.0", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Laboratory data from testing parameters of EPA Method 3060A on Soils Contaminated with Chromium or Processing Residue 2013-2016"}
