Use of ICP OES and titrimetry for calcium, magnesium and aluminum determination in soil samples
01/Oct/2010
The interest of soil Laboratories in Brazil in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) instead of titrimetry is on the rise due to the possibility of simultaneous determination of different metals within a wide range of concentrations in extracts of agronomic interest. This study compared: precision, reproducibility and accuracy of both techniques for exchangeable Ca, Mg and Al determination extracted with KCl 1 mol L-1 from tropical soil samples. Fifteen reference soil samples were analyzed. Ca, Mg and Al concentrations […]
