Analysis of acid sulfate soil — Dried samples — Methods of test, Method 12: Complete suspension peroxide oxidation combined acidity and sulfur (SPOCAS) method
This Standard specifies a method for the determination of pH in a 1 M KCl soil suspension, and, where required, titratable actual acidity (TAA) in acid sulfate soil. Following this, potassium chloride extractable sulfur (SKCl), calcium (CaKCl) and magnesium (MgKCl) are determined.
