1、Designation: D 5435 03Standard Test Method forDiagnostic Soil Test for Plant Growth and Food ChainProtection1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5435; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of quantity(Q) and intensity (I) results for several elements in soils, spoi

3、ls,fly-ash, and other soil substitutes to ascertain their suitabilityfor the growth of vegetation and possible adverse effects ofmetals on the food chain.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if an

6、thod3.1 A representative sample material to be tested is air dried,sieved to pass a 2-mm screen, equilibrated for 16 to 20 h withthe soil test solution containing the optimum activities (I) ofH3O+,Ca+,Mg+,K+and DTPA (diethyl-enetriaminepentaacetate) to render a small exchange of metalsfrom the solid

7、 phase to the solution phase. This test method iscalibrated with respect to pH, K, Ca, Mg, H/(Ca + Mg)1/2,Mg/K, Ca/Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Al, Pb, Ni, and Cd. In additionto the exchangeable or labile amounts (Q), or both, of the sameelements, comparable levels of the negative logarithm valuesanalogous t

8、o pH may be calculated using the ligand constantsfor the respective elements.4. Significance and Use4.1 The bioavailability of chemical elements is poorlyrelated to the chemical composition of soils and plant growthmedia containing a mineral or any type of adsorbed phase. Thechemical potential (pi f

9、or element, i,) is an intensity parameter(I), and the sorbed amount in equilibrium with the soil solutionis a measure of the quantity (Q). These parameters for eachelement (essential or toxic) should be measured in the presenceof other elements at or near the desired intensity. This testmethod is th

10、e only method that generates these results simul-taneously for several elements. The computer software allowsthese values to be related to the total sorbed quantities of thedifferent elements. For many substrates, it has been found thatthe theory for the method holds to the degree that vegetationhas

11、 been established on many non-soil substrates and soil-water-food chain problems have been evaluated by this testmethod. This test method has been used on many sites inPennsylvania and other locations to monitor the effect ofsewage sludge applications on land as a source of essentialelements for pla

12、nts with no harmful effects on the food chain.It has also been used to evaluate synthetic soils produced fromfly-ash alone or as a component of coal refuse for theestablishment of vegetation on mine spoils, coal refuse piles,and abandoned mine lands.4.2 The quality of the result produced by this sta

Reliable results depend on manyfactors; Practice D 3740 provides a means of evaluating someof those factors.5. Interferences5.1 Quality control in reagent preparation

17、 is more difficultthan for methods that involve fewer elements and compounds.External contamination is a problem to be anticipated. Rubberis a source of Zn and Cd contamination. Rubber gloves used toremove glassware from an acid bath must be removed forsubsequent rinse procedures. The blank solution

18、 should betested for Na and other elements. Often the superfloc containsNa which should be removed by use of a cation exchange resin.In addition the filter paper should be checked for Na.5.2 The cross contamination from glassware is a seriousproblem. All glassware is soaked in 1 + 1 HNO3for 2 h; rin

19、sedwith distilled water three times followed with rinsing indistilled, deionized water three times. Remove rubber glovesafter first rinsing with distilled water to prevent contaminationwith Zn.5.3 The testing solution should be prepared fresh everyweek. Limited studies indicate that the relative amo

20、unts of thedifferent elements desorbed from soils by DTPA change as theprepared solution ages.5.4 The effect of Ca and other ions on the atomic absorptiondetermination of Cd is significant and requires that an adjust-ment be made. Background correction will eliminate thissource of error.5.5 The TEA

21、(triethanolamine) is used to prevent excessivedissolution of trace metals from high p-H soils. The buffercapacity is not sufficient, however, to prevent a reflection ofsoil acidity on trace element availability in soil.5.6 For some soils the colorimetric determination of phos-phorus is not adequate

22、because of the development of turbiditywith stannous chloride used as the reducing agent or when P isvery near the detection limit of 1 m/L. Other reducing agentsas proposed by Watanabe and Olsen (1)4or the isobutyl alcoholextraction method as proposed for water soluble P (see section12.9) have been

23、 used with limited success on these samples.6.
