Many evidences showed that separate pyrophosphate extracted mainly KCI-extractable Al, organo-Al complexes and some inorganic Al compounds, whereas separate CuCl2 extracted KCl-extractable Al and some organo-Al complexes. CuCl2 extracted much less amounts of Al than pyrophosphate did from the soils. Separate oxalate did not extract all KCl-Pyrophosphate- CuCl2 -oxalate sequentially extractable Al and Fe. Also, separate DCB did not extract all KCl- pyrophosphate- CuCl2 -oxalate- DCB sequentially extractable Al. The forms of Al extracted by oxalate and DCB from the soils were majorly noncrystalline. The interlayered materials of 1.4-nm intergrade minerals of the soils were attributed mainly to hydroxy Al polymers.展开更多
