Abstract

In order to estimate the degree of maturity of composts, the method for the measurement of CEC of some composts was developed. The method is similar in principle to those developed for the measurement of CEC of plant roots. A 200 mg of milled compost sample is washed with HCI to replace the exchangeable cations. After the excess HCI is removed by washing with distilled water, Ba(OAc)2 solution (pH 7.0) is added to the sample, and the mixture is stood overnight. After filtration, the sample is leached with another Ba(OAc)2 solution, and then the released proton is titrated with standard NaOH solution using a potentiometer. The amount of released proton gives the CEC. The method gives reproducible and accurate values, but requires a particular apparatus. It takes a relatively long time to carry out the whole procedure. A simplified method, in which the sample is stood for only 1 hr for the equilibration with Ba(OAc)2 solution and the titration is carried out using thymol blue as indicator, was also recommended.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
