Extract

1.Fixed ammonium could be completely recovered from clay minerals by leaching small amounts of clay with large volumes of salt solutions (containing the cations but not K+, Rb+, or Cs+), but no clay fixed ammonium could be found in soils when analysed by this technique.

2. It is suggested that ammonium fixation is largely a laboratory phenomenon caused by the use of extractants containing potassium ions which trap exchangeable ammonium, or the use of reagents which decompose organic nitrogen compounds.
