I am trying to reach you to R.calvelopereira@ massey.ac.nz, but I am not able to reach butt he mails are reffused:

My real question is:

Sorry to bother you, but regarding your very interesting paper

Assessing the pore structure and surface area of allophane-rich and nonallophanic topsoils by supercritical drying and chemical treatment, Geoderma 337 (2019) 805–811

I have a methodological question: after the removal of short-range ordered (SRO) constituents by oxalate, what post-treatment (washing, freeze-drying or …) must be done before performing degassing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
