Abstract

Clay fractions from five contrasting soils under rubber cultivation were separated and their specific surface areas determined by adsorption of cetyl pyridinium bromide from solution. Results obtained showed that the specific surface areas of inland soils determined by the cetyl pyridinium bromide technique were comparable with those determined by adsorption of methylene blue at optimum flocculation. The specific surface areas of the clay were related to the release and adsorption of magnesium and aluminium by the soils. The cetyl pyridinium bromide technique can be used as an alternative method for the rapid determination of the specific surface areas of inland soils which contain predominantly non-expanding clay minerals.
