Summary: | An HPLC method employing an ion exclusion column was developed for the determination of low molecular weight organic acids in soil solution. The method includes extensive sample pretreatment using ultrafiltration and cation exchange. The method showed linear calibration graphs (
r>0.99) and the limits of detection in the range 0.1–26 μM. The recovery of eleven added acids ranged from 89 to 102%. Soil solutions of five horizons of a podzolised soil were analysed. The results showed that these compounds made up 1–3% of the dissolved organic carbon and 0–14% of the acidity. Identification of the major acids was also carried out by capillary zone electrophoresis. |
