The hydroxide precipitation method is appropriate to distinguish free metal ions with complexed metal ions with amino acids. Optimum pH conditions of hydroxide precipitation were investigated using mixed amino acids which have similar composition ratio with hydrolyzed amino acids. When applied to soil samples immobilities of Hg, Cr, and Cu ion with mixed and hydrolyzed amino acids were reasonable. But those of Cd and Zn were not sufficient.
