see above. Also, if you do pore water extraction in N-gas glove bag and take some of the PW for iron using a container which previously has acid in it, you will be able to do dissolved iron FE2 as well as total Fe. Check out Mackin and Aller 1984 using 0-phenanthroline and hydroxlamine hydrochloride and calcium chloride dihydrate with acatate buffer. you acidify sample using 0.1 N HCl. If you cant find the method, message me [email protected]
I think using: Sequential Extraction Procedure for the Speciation of Particulate Trace Metals
