Influential factors on the cation exchange capacity in sediment of Merambong Shoal, Johor
The present study was carried out to obtain a preliminary assessment on the vitality of cation exchange capacity (CEC) in surface sediments of the Merambong Shoal, Johor collected from 20 sampling points. Physicochemical parameters (pH, Eh, salinity and electrical conductivity), organic matter and e...

The total cation exchange capacity in sediment has been calculated by the determination of K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The pH (8.05-8.34), Eh (-66.27-49.10 mV), salinity (5.50-11.40ppt), electrical conductivity (9.70-19.00 mS/cm), organic matter (0.34-0.93%), exchangeable potassium (0.42-1.34 meq/100 g), exchangeable sodium (1.23-25.26 meq/100 g), exchangeable calcium (1.15-4.56 meq/100 g) and exchangeable magnesium (1.23-2.21 meq/100 g) of sediment samples showed variations.
