These solutions willhave sulfate ion concentrations of 0.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0,30.0, and 40.0 mg/L, respectively.

Check the curve with eachseries of tests by running two or more solutions of knownsulfate concentrations in the range of 5 to 40 mg SO4/L.NOTE 2The slope of the curve may not be linear below 5 or above 40mg SO4/L for
24、 this method.8. Procedure8.1 Collect at least 100 g of representative soil for analysis.Dry the sample for 18 to 24 h at 110 C. Crush to pass a 600m sieve. In a 400 mL beaker labeled Sample A, put a sampleconsisting of approximately 30 g. In a second 400 mL beakerlabeled Sample B, place a sample of
25、approximately 3 g. Recordthe mass of each sample to the nearest 0.001 g. Add 250 mL ofdeionized water to each beaker, and stir on a magnetic stirrerfor at least 1.0 h but no more than 1.2 h. Filter the extractionthrough two dry medium texture filter papers under suction. Donot wash the residue. Repe
26、at the filtration if solution is notclear. Check the pH of the filtrate using pH paper and, ifneeded, neutralize each filtrate to pH of 7 6 1 using either 0.1NHCl or 0.1N NaOH.8.2 Adjust the temperature of the solution in the volumetricflasks to between 20 and 25 C 68 to 77 F.8.3 Use an aliquot of 1
27、0 mL for specimen A1, 20 mL forspecimenA2, 10 mL for specimen B1, and 20 mL for specimenB2. Dilute to a volume of 100 mL in a volumetric flask andfollow the procedure below or Test Methods C114. Pour the100 mL into a 250 mL beaker. Add 5.0 mL of conditioningreagent. Mix by stirring with a stir bar a
28、nd magnetic stirrer.Add 0.3 g of the prepared BaCl2crystals using a measuringspoon and start the timer.8.4 Stir exactly 1.0 min, at the same constant speed for alldeterminations.8.5 Remove the beaker from the stirrer, pour solution intothe cell, and put the cell into the photometer. Record theturbid
29、ity at 4.0 min after pouring the solution into the cell.8.6 Determine the mg of SO4from the calibration curve.9.

31、s2. Discard those that do not3. Average all results that complyNOTE 3These values were derived from the limits on the sulfate testof 5 to 40 mg/L, and a solubility of sulfate of 1.6 g/Lat pH 7 when calciumsulfate is present. The method is not applicable for soils outside this range.For those samples
32、, see the Annex.10. Report10.1 Report the average obtained as % sulfate by mass ofsample. If milligrams sulfate in kilograms of soil (mg SO4/kgsoil) is desired, multiply % sulfate by 10 000. Report results tonearest 0.01 % or 100 mg/kg.11. Precision and Bias411.1 PrecisionThe standard deviation was
33、found to varywith concentration, so therefore, a coefficient of variation wasused for the precision statement. The single operator coefficient4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:C09-1029.C1580 0912of variation was fo
34、und to be 4.4 %. Therefore, results of twoproperly conducted tests by the same operator on the samematerial should not differ by more than 12.4 % of theiraverage. The multilaboratory coefficient of variation was foundto be 21.2 %. Therefore, results of two different laboratories onidentical samples
35、of a material should not differ from eachother by more than 60 % of their average.11.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining bias, bias can not be determined.12.
