1、Designation: D7503 10Standard Test Method forMeasuring the Exchange Complex and Cation ExchangeCapacity of Inorganic Fine-Grained Soils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7503; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case o

2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes the procedures for measuringthe soluble and bound cations as well a

3、s the cation exchangecapacity (CEC) of fine-grained inorganic soils. Clay mineralsin fine-grained soils carry a negative surface charge that isbalanced by bound cations near the mineral surface. Thesebound cations can be exchanged by other cations in the porewater, which are referred to as soluble c

4、ations. The cationexchange capacity is a measure of the negative surface chargeon the mineral surface. The CEC generally is satisfied bycalcium (Ca), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and potassium(K), although other cations may be present depending on theenvironment in which the soil exists. This test m

5、ethod wasdeveloped from concepts described previously in Lavkulich(1981) (1)2and Rhoades (1982) (2). In soils with appreciablegypsum or calcite, dissolution of these minerals will release Cain solution that may affect the measurement.1.2 In this test method, the soluble salts from the mineralsurface

6、 are washed off with de-ionized water and then theconcentration of soluble salts within the extract is measured.The bound cations of the clay are measured by using a solutioncontaining an index ion that forces the existing cations in thebound layer into solution. The total concentrations of boundand

7、 soluble cations in this solution are measured. The CEC ismeasured by displacing the index ion with another salt solutionand measuring the amount of the displaced index ion.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibili

8、ty of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguide for significant digits and rounding established in PracticeD6026. The procedu

9、res in Practice D6026 that are used tospecify how data are collected, recorded, and calculated areregarded as the industry standard. In addition, they are repre-sentative of the significant digits that should generally beretained. The procedures do not consider material variation,purpose for obtaini

10、ng the data, special purpose studies, or anyconsiderations for the objectives of the user. Increasing orreducing the significant digits of reported data to be commen-surate with these considerations is common practice. Consid-eration of the significant digits to be used in analysis methodsfor engine

Significance and Use4.1 Fine-grained soils are used in waste containment sys-tems as barriers to flow and contaminant transport. Liquidscontained by these

19、 barriers can contain ions that may interactwith the mineral surfaces in fine-grained soils.4.2 The liquid passing through the pores of fine-grained soilcan interact with the mineral surface, and affect the physicaland chemical characteristics of the soil. This method can beused as part of an evalua
