The soil particles (<2000, 450–2000, 100–450 and 25–100nm) in an Alfisol were studied using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), conventional and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) to...
