Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 14388 provides a general introduction to acid
sulfate soils and the approaches that can be used to measure the
various components of this special group of soils and their
potential to produce acidity. It provides a compilation of the test
methods, identification and definitions of the symbols, terms, and
acronyms used in this series of ISO 14388. While part of the
decision-making process can involve the analysis of prepared wet or
dry samples, this part of ISO 14388 specifically outlines the
procedures that are involved for preparing and analysing dried
samples (see Figure 1).
This part of ISO 14388 also provides a procedure for
pre-treating acid sulfate soil following sampling, prior to their
analysis as dried sample using appropriate methods of test. The
procedure includes the handling of samples before delivery to the
laboratory, and the drying, grinding, and storage of samples. The
standard also provides a procedure for archiving a sample after
analysis.
This part of ISO 14388 provides an acid-base accounting method
to calculate the net acid-producing potential of acid sulfate soil
materials by individually assessing the acid-producing capacity due
to oxidation of inorganic sulfides, the existing acidity, and the
effective acid-consuming capacity using results obtained in ISO
14388-2 and ISO 14388-3.
