The Assay for Iron in Soils and Clay Minerals

  • Chapter
Iron in Soils and Clay Minerals

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 217))

Abstract

Assay is defined as, inter alia, “the determination of the quantity of metal in an ore or alloy,” and derives from the Latin exagium meaning “weighing.” Assay is thus concerned with quantitative determination on a mass-for-mass basis.

Ay me! what perils do environ
