The author begins by discussing previous research on the subject, which focused on the effects of neutral salts and lime on soils. The author suggests that these studies indicate that the displacement of bases in the soil occurs in practically theoretical chemical proportions. The author then presents their own research on the absorption of lime by soils. They used calcium bicarbonate solutions containing varying amounts of carbonic acid to treat soils and measured the amount of lime absorbed. Their results show that, within the ranges of concentration tested, the action of ammonium chloride on soil follows the law of mass action and must therefore be considered a purely chemical reaction. The acidity developed when certain soils are treated with neutral salts may be explained as an adsorption phenomenon because the equilibrium follows the usual adsorption isotherm. The acidity has, however, been traced generally to the presence of aluminium salts in solution, and their presence suggests a more fundamental change than purely physical adsorption. This book contributes to our understanding of soil chemistry and provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in agriculture and soil science.
