The Colloidal Fraction
Introduction
What is a colloid?
Why this is important in understanding
soils?
How can we understand this fraction?
What are the fundamental basics of this
fraction?

Soil Colloids
The most chemically active fraction of soils.
They are very small, less than 2 µm in
diameter
Shape
Colloids can be either
– mineral (clays) or organic (humus)
– crystalline (definite structure) or amorphous.

Colloids
Properties imparted to soils
– Static Vs. dynamic properties
– Sand and Silt (no colloids)
Static and occupy space
– Clay and Humus (colloids)
Dynamic and very active (charges)

Colloids
Properties imparted to soils by colloids
– Chemical Vs Physical properties
Chemical
– Sources of ions for plant nutrition
– Source of electro-negativity (CEC)
– Buffering capacity
– Chemical cement agents
Physical
– Large surface area per unit of mass (cm2/g)
– Plasticity

Crystalline Silicate Clays
What is it?
Shape: x, y and z.
Surface area: 2 sources ***
– External Vs Internal
Composition of crystalline structures:
– Silicon-Oxygen and Aluminum- Hydroxide … others
– Silicon Tetrahedral and Aluminum Octahedral sheets
– Si-O Tetrahedral sheet (tetra=four void spaces)
– Al-OH Octahedral sheet (0cta=eight void spaces)

Charges
Isomorphous Substitutions
Process in which one element substitutes
another of comparable size in the crystalline
structure
Al is slightly larger than Si, consequently Si
may replace Al!
IF Al+3 and Si+2 then what?
