After electrolysis (iron (+) and graphite (-) electrodes were used; electrolysis duration 5 hours) of suspensions of different soils, I obtained the following Ph values:
HC (humus soil): 10.99
DVT (garden soil): 8,15
TLV (garden soil): 5,68
JPG (forest soil - 100 meters from the karst cave): 6,13
JPZ (forest soil - 200 meters from karst cave): 10,55
SP (soil close to river - 5 meters): 10,65
SPJ (soil close to lake - distance 2 meters): 10,44
Are high Ph after electrolysis related to the presence of potassium, sodium and carbonate ions? With universal ph paper, these Ph values are around 7 to 8. Before electrolysis, ph was also measured directly with an electrode, in suspension and the filtrate, but never so high. These were mostly normal Ph's, especially with the direct measurement method.
