The Dispersion Capacity of Some Chemical Dispersing Agents in Korean Soils

우리나라 토양(土壤)에 있어서 수종(數種) 분산제(分散劑)의 분산능(分散能)에 관(關)하여

This experiment was aimed at selecting the most suitable dispersing agent to the Korean soils. The particle size distribution of 18 soil samples representing the great soil groups in Korea was analysed with 5 different dispersing agents by pipette-method. Passing percent of 0.05, 0.02 and 0.002mm in diameter was used for the comparision of the dispersion capacity of chemical agents. The results obtained are as follows; 1. The influence of chemical agents on dispersion seemed to be greater to finer soil particles. The passing percents of 0.002mm showed a great differences according to the chemical agents used, while little differences was observed in those of 0.05mm. 2. It was showed that sodium pyrophosphate had the highest dispersion capacity for the most of Korean soils, the dispersion capacity of sodium hexametaphosphate was also high enough except for volcanic ash soils. 3. It was recommendable that sodium hexametaphosphate could widely be used as a dispersing agent in the routine analysis of soil particle size distribution except for the Volcanic ash soils. 4. The dispersion of Volcanic ash soils was rather poor when chemical agents used. Therefore, special care should be taken for the dispersion of allophane soils.

우리나라 토양(土壤)의 입도분석(粒度分析)에 적합(適合)한 분산제(分散劑)를 선정(選定)하기 위하여 대표토양(代表土壤) 18점(点)에 대(對)한 표토(表土) 및 심토(深土)의 입도분석(粒度分析) 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 토양입자(土壤粒子)가 작을수록 분산제별(分散劑別) 분산능력(分散能力)의 차이(差異)가 커지는 경향(傾向)으로 점토입자(粘土粒子)(<0.002mm)의 분석치(分析値)에 있어서 분산제(分散劑)에 따라 차이(差異)가 컸었다. 2. 분산율(分散率)은 Sodium Pyrophosphate가 가장 높고 다음으로 Sodium Hexametaphophate, Ammonium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Oxalate 순(順)이었다. 3. Sodium Hexametaphosphate는 Volcanic Ash Soil만을 제외(除外)하고 우리나라 모두 토양(土壤)의 입도분석(粒度分析)에 있어서 분산제(分散劑)로써 사용(使用)할 수 있을 것으로 본다. 4. Volcanic Ash Soil의 분산율(分散率)은 분산제(分散劑)를 사용(使用)하지 않은 경우보다 오히려 감소(減少)되는 경향(傾向)이 있으므로 이의 분산방법(分散方法)의 선정(選定)에는 특별(特別)한 주의(注意)가 요망(要望)된다.
