Analysis of Fertilizer

Introduction

Fertilizers classified as general fertilizers made from sludge are subject to official standards, including minimum content of principal ingredients, maximum limit for harmful constituents, etc., according to the Fertilizer Management Law. Therefore, it is necessary to perform quality assurance testing for the principal ingredients and harmful constituents before use as fertilizer. Here we introduce analysis of trace constituents in fertilizer using the multi-type ICPE-9000 ICP emission spectrometer. ICP emission spectrometry is highly sensitive and features a wide dynamic range, thereby enabling simultaneous analysis of these principle ingredients as well as toxic trace constituents.
