Summary

A simplified procedure for extracting ions from soil with ion-exchange resins is reported. The resin, placed in nylon-netting bags, were immersed in soil suspensions and shaken. Compared to the conventional procedure, where the resin beads are freely suspended in the soil-water mixture, this bag-procedure allowed quicker separation of resin from the soil suspensions. Furthermore, the severe soil grinding as done in the conventional procedure was eliminated. Phosphate was extracted from 4 Danish soils using both procedures. The bag-procedure resulted in slightly higher values than did the conventional procedure. re]19760408
