20、9 1 Section 1. General 1.1 Scope This International Standard specifies procedures for the preparation of water and acid extracts of air-dried soils and soil-like materials. The sulfate content of these extracts is determined by a gravimetric method in which barium chloride is added to the water or a
21、cid extract and the precipitate of barium sulfate is dried and weighed. The sulfate content is then calculated from the mass of the material used in the analysis and the mass of barium sulfate precipitated. This International Standard is applicable to all types of air-dried soils, for example pretre
22、ated according to ISO11464. This International Standard consists of seven sections: Section 1: General; Section 2: Pretreatment of samples and determination of dry matter contents; Section 3: Extraction of soil with water at a mass : volume ratio of 1 soil : 5 water; Section 4: Extraction of soil wi
23、th water at a mass : volume ratio of 1 soil : 2 water; Section 5: Extraction of soil with dilute hydrochloric acid; Section 6: Determination of sulfate in solution by a gravimetric method using barium chloride; Section 7: Precision of method and test report. 1.2 Normative references The following st
24、andards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged
25、to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

ISO 11465:1993, Soil quality Determination of dry matter and water content on a mass basis Gravimetric method. 1.3 Principle Samples of air-dried soi
27、l are extracted with: dilute hydrochloric acid; or water in a mass : volume ratio of soil : water of1: 2 or 1 : 5. The sulfate content of these extracts is determined by a gravimetric method in which barium chloride is added to the water or acid extract and the precipitate of barium sulfate is dried
28、 and weighed. The sulfate content is then calculated from the mass of soil used in the analysis and the mass of barium sulfate precipitated. Section 6 is similar to ISO9280. It is recognized that other acceptable methods for the determination of sulfate are available but these are not covered by thi
29、s International Standard. Suitable methods may include: direct barium titrimetry, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry, flow injection analysis using a turbidimetric method, continuous flow indirect spectrophotometry using 2-aminoperimidine, air-segmented continuous flow colorimetry usin
30、g methylthymol blue, and ion chromatography. Reference should be made to the appropriate international and national standards for information regarding the applicability and limitations of such methods.ISO 11048:1995(E) 2 BSI 06-1999 1.4 Applicability and limitations The procedures in sections3and4a
31、re considered to be relevant to the extraction of sulfate from soils and may be relevant to the assessment of the “availability” of sulfate to plants (a variety of extractants have been used for this purpose and none were shown to be generally applicable to all soil types and climates). It should be
32、 noted that there is no verified relation between water-extractable sulfate and the need for sulfur fertilization. The procedure in section4is also relevant to the potential for the attack of sulfates on building materials, especially concrete. The use of the procedures described in sections4,5and6s
33、hould enable a distinction to be made between the presence of sulfates that are highly soluble in water and those of limited solubility such as gypsum(CaSO 4 2H 2 O). Section6is applicable to concentrations of sulfate ion in solution of10mg/l and above, i.e. in relation to the methods in sections3 a
34、nd4to minimum water-soluble concentrations in air-dried soil of about50mg/kg and20mg/kg 0,005% (m/m) and0,002% (m/m) respectively and, in relation to the method in section5, to a minimum acid-soluble concentration in air-dried soil of about500mg/kg 0,05% (m/m). If concentrations in solution are lowe
35、r than this, a concentration step will be required, or a more sensitive analytical procedure than that described in section6should be used e.g. ion chromatography, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry or atomic emission spectrometry (AES). In most instances, complete characterization of a s
36、oil, in terms of the concentrations and nature of sulfates present, will require that determinations are made following the procedure in section5and in either section3or section4or both, whichever is the more appropriate for the purpose of investigation of the soil. The methods described should be s
37、uitable for a range of “soils” including agricultural soils and materials from polluted sites. However, no method can be expected to be universally applicable, and users must recognize this fact and be prepared to deal with the analytical difficulties that may sometimes be encountered. Soils contain
38、ing sulfides may require special attention (see note7to5.1). “Soils” from some polluted sites, for example former gasworks sites and colliery spoil tips, may contain a variety of sulfur species (e.g. elemental sulfur, sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, thiocyanate) that may be transformed from one to an
39、other under changing chemical conditions and/or microbial action. The presence of other ions may affect solubilities. Thus, in these circumstances, particular care may be required in sample handling and preparation, and in the interpretation of the results. The limitations of the method in section6,
40、 in terms of acceptable concentrations of other ions, are defined. The tests described are strictly empirical and thus cannot be considered to measure the true sulfate content in soil, although reproducibility should be good. Because of the limited solubility of some sulfates (e.g. calcium sulfate)
41、and possible interferences from other ions, a single extraction following the procedure described in section3may not give a true measure of the “total water extractable” sulfate. This potential problem can be tackled either by repeating the extraction one or more times on the same sample, or by subs
42、tantially increasing the water : soil ratio. Another option is to use a “buffered” extraction solution which will enhance the solubility of the sulfates present, but such procedures are beyond the scope of this International Standard. If calcium is the only cation present, sulfate ion in solution wi
43、ll not exceed1 441mg at20 C. This means that the maximum amount of sulfate that can be extracted from such a soil by the procedure in section3 is about7 205mg (10g soil : 50ml water) and by the procedure in section4is about2882mg (50g soil : 100 ml water).

Pretreatment of samples and determination of dry matter contents 2.1 Scope In this section, procedures are described for the preparation of air-dried test samples for use in the extraction procedures described in sections3to5 of this International Standard. 2
45、.2 Determination of dry matter content Determine the dry matter content of the field-moist and air-dried materials in accordance with ISO11465, but at a temperature not exceeding75 C to 80 C (there is a danger if gypsum is present that water of crystallization will be lost at higher temperatures). 2
46、.3 Preparation of soil samples for extraction with water in the mass : volume ratio 1 soil : 5 water, or for extraction with dilute acid 2.3.1 Apparatus The following items of apparatus, additional to those specified in ISO11465, allow the preparation of a single test sample. 2.3.1.1 Desiccator, con
47、taining anhydrous silica gel. 2.3.1.2 Glass container, capable of holding approximately10g of soil and fitted with a ground glass stopper. 2.3.2 Preparation of test sample Prepare each test sample for analysis from the laboratory sample as follows. Dry and prepare a laboratory sample passing a2mm si
48、eve of sufficient size, for all the tests to be performed following the procedures described in ISO11464. Divide the material passing the2mm sieve by successive riffling or another approved means (seeISO11464) to produce a sample weighing approximately100g. Mill this fraction to pass a2504m sieve. S
49、ubdivide the sample by successive riffling to obtain a test sample weighing approximately10g (additional test samples can be taken at this stage if required). Place the test sample in a suitable glass container (2.3.1.2) and dry at a temperature of not more than40 C. The test sample shall be deemed to be dry when the differences in successive weighings at intervals of4h do not exceed0,1% (m/m) of the test sample. Allow the test sample(s) to cool in a desiccator (2.3.1.1). NOTE 1It is assumed that any ma
