Introduction of Soil Elements and Heavy Metal Content Analysis
Soil quality is a cornerstone of environmental health, agricultural productivity, and safe land development. Heavy metals, often introduced through industrial activities or natural geological processes, can accumulate in soil, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. Concurrently, the precise balance of essential soil elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is critical for sustainable plant growth and food security. Our soil elements and heavy metal content analysis service helps you gain unparalleled insights into soil health, mitigate environmental risks, and optimize nutrient management through a professional technical team and advanced analysis methods. Our Soil Analysis service provides the detailed analysis insights needed to understand and manage these complex soil characteristics, drawing on established methodologies and advancements in environmental monitoring and precision agriculture.

Detailed Analysis Process: From Sample to Insight
The analysis process for these diverse soil elements and heavy metal content generally follows these rigorous steps:
Depending on the target analytes, samples undergo specific pre-treatment. For heavy metals, this typically involves acid digestion (e.g., using strong acids like nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid) to dissolve the metals into a solution. For nutrient analysis, different extraction methods are used to isolate available forms.
|
Heavy metals
|
The prepared solutions are analyzed using advanced instrumentation such as Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) or Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). These techniques offer high sensitivity and multi-element detection capabilities, providing precise quantification of trace elements and heavy metals.
|
|
Nitrogen forms
|
Total nitrogen: Often determined using the Kjeldahl method or combustion methods (Dumas method), where nitrogen is converted to N2 and measured chromatographically.
|
|
Available nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite, ammonium): Typically extracted with specific salt solutions and then measured using colorimetric methods or ion-selective electrodes.
|
|
Phosphorus and potassium
|
Extracted available forms are often analyzed colorimetrically (for phosphorus) or using flame photometry/ICP-OES (for potassium).
|
|
Carbon
|
Organic carbon is often determined by combustion methods or wet oxidation methods. Inert carbon may require specific pretreatment.
|
|
Silicon and boron
|
They are analyzed via ICP-OES or other spectroscopic methods after appropriate digestion or extraction.
|
Throughout the analysis process, rigorous quality control measures are implemented. This includes the use of certified reference materials, method blanks, duplicates, and spiked samples to ensure the accuracy, precision, and reliability of the results.
