Abstract
Cobaltihexamine (CoHM) is proposed as an index cation for measuring the cation exchange capacities (CEC) of "intact" and dissolved soil humic substances. Samples containing 2 to 5 mg humic substances were sufficient for each CoHM-CEC measurement. CoHM cation exchange capacity versus pH curves were better resolved than acid base titration curves in 0.1 M NaClO4 and were slightly displaced towards lower pH values. Three adsorption maxima were obtained in the pH range 3 to 10, and these corresponded to functional group entities observed in δpH/δml curves from acid-base titration.
