Abstract
Showed that 24h of oven drying rather than P2O5 drying can be applied as a pretreatment for surface-area determinations of soils and clays by the ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGME) method with the exception of illite and illitic soils. Oven drying results in a 15% decrease in surface area of illite, suggesting that this procedure would not be recommended as a pretreatment for measurements on soils rich in illites. -from Authors
