Synopsis

Excerpt from Colorimetric, Turbidity, and Titration Methods Used in Soil Investigations

The study of. The solubility of the minerals of the soil, as maintain ing the soluble mineral plant food constituents in the soil moisture, is of the greatest significance. The solubility and hydrolysis of the ordinary rock-forming minerals, not only in water, but in solutions Of various electrolytes, is therefore of great importance in throwing light upon the solubility of the minerals of the soil in pure water, in water charged more or less with carbonic acid, and in the solutions formed by the various fertilizer salts. The solubility of the rock forming minerals, though continuous, is slow and, comparatively speaking, slight, and here again the determination of very small quantities of soluble salts is requisite. In addition to the solubility of the common rock-forming minerals, the slight solubility of the phosphates of the soil, such as iron, aluminum, or calcium phosphates, in pure water and in solutions of the various fertilizer salts, can also be studied by means Of these methods. In this way it is possible to gain valuable information concerning the behavior of these substances in the soil and the effect of fertilizer salts upon them.
