Why is NH4OH added in heavy metals limit test?

The limit test I'm referring to is USP method II. In this procedure you need to dropwise add 6N of NH4OH to the sample until it the pH is alkali. After that you need to dilute and add HOAc until...

Conductivity monitoring

Shuraik Kader

It is best to define using the EC of soil and then proceed with TDS amount.

Yusuf Idris Garba

Nodirabonu Sultonova Here are my suggestions: 1) visual crop observations; 2) the electrical conductance of soil solution extracts or extracts at higher than normal water contents; 3) in situ measurement of electrical resistivity; 4) noninvasive measurement of electrical conductance with EM; and most recently 5) in situ measurement of electrical conductance with TDR.
