Soils have a natural characteristic called the cation exchange capacity (CEC) that allows them to hold (and exchange) cations (e.g., Ca+2 or Na+). These cations are held tight enough on the CEC that ...

Researchers determined the variability of cation exchange capacity in different batches of pine bark and studied the influence of particle size, substrate pH, and peat amendment on CEC. Part of the ...

THE cation exchange capacity of soils is due to inorganic constituents such as clay minerals, hydrous oxides, primary and secondary minerals and to organic matter. Estimates of the contribution of ...

Several legume and grass species, having roots of widely different cationexchange capacities, were grown in pots for four to six months on highly calcareous Turkish soil. Following the growth of the ...

Observations from a soil management trial conducted on a previously grassed down orchard showed that after 3 years the pH of the surface soil (0-10 cm) whether measured in distilled water or 1 N KCl ...

Inorganic cations are significant indicators of the quality of drinking waters and their suitability for human consumption. They have important physiological effects and they alter the palatability of ...

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have gained attention in the process of fuel cell development because they operate in alkaline environments, the redox reaction rate at the electrodes is ...
