Comparison of Particle-Size Analyzing Laboratory Methods

Abstract: Particle size distribution is one of the most influential factors of most soil physical and even some soil chemical characteristics. As modern measurement techniques are being introduced, the need for comparing new methods with older methodologies arises because comparability means data continuity. Here, three institutes conducted a comparison of particle size measurement among the laser, areometer and pipette techniques. The purpose of the comparison was to a) discover any differences among operators, laborat… Show more

“…4), the studied soil samples can be texturally classified into three groups; sandy mud (eight samples) muddy sand (four samples), clayey sand (two samples), sandy silt (one sample), and mud (one sample). PSD represents the most significant soil physical and even some soil chemical properties (Centeri et al 2015). It is the most vital characteristic affecting pore geometry, porosity, pore size distribution, solid surface area, hydrophysical, and thermo-physical characteristics (Cartacuzencu et al 2014;Mady and Shein 2017).…”

“…The sand (˃ 63 μm size) content was determined gravimetrically. The fine fraction (< 63 μm) remaining was homogenized in 80 mL of 0.05% sodium hexametaphosphate (Centeri et al 2015) with an ultrasonic stirrer for 3 min. Grain size distribution in the < 63 μm sediment suspension was determined with a Micromeritics SediGraph III for the amount (%) of silt and clay content.…”

“…The pH[H 2 O] and pH [KCl] were measured with the electrometric method [64]. The granulometric composition was carried out with the Köhn-pipette approach, where soil samples were put in suspension, and the sedimentation of the particles by gravity gave the basis of the measurements; specifically, the settling time of 10 cm-s was applied for measurement [65,66]. For the determination of metal concentrations, soil samples were treated with the HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 acid digestion method at 130 • C for 2 h, then passed through 12-15 µm filter paper [20,67]; then the concentrations of Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn were measured with an MP-AES 4200 Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy device [68] in the Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry (University of Debrecen).…”
