Abstract

VAZQUEZ, M. V. et al. Correlation of the Physicochemical Properties in Soils from Tenerife Island, Measuring the Electric Current in an Electrokinetic Experiment. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.3, pp.419-427. ISSN 0872-1904.

In this work the physical-chemical properties of six different soils original from Tenerife Island, Spain, are related with the measured electrical current in an electrokinetic experiment. Results show that total electrical charge has relation with properties such as: total metal content, pH, carbon organic content, and cationic exchange capacity. Since all these properties are between those which allow to evaluate the fertility of a soil, an electrokinetic experiment with samples of this soil is proposed like diagnosis tool.

Keywords : electrokinetics; soil; electrolysis current; cationic exchange capacity.
