2-1. Sample Types & Considering Factors for Collection Sample Types: According to the physical conditions ; solid, liquid, or gas samples According to the representativeness; bulk, partial, or mixed samples According to the conventional names; Rock, soil, stream water, groundwater, coal, plant, food etc. Considering Factors: The essential requisite for the sample is the representativeness of the object of sampling. Then, consider 1)Purpose of sampling 2)Budget for the analysis 3)Characteristics (Types) of the samples
2-2. Collection & Pretreatment of Water Samples Water samples?: Surface water (Streams, lakes, springs, etc.) Groundwater Meteoric water (rain, snow, fog, etc) Others Considering factors of water sampling; Variable properties responding to a number of surrounding conditions such as T, P, time, biota, geology, etc. Should consider 1)Water type 2)Parameters measured in the field 3)Required pretreatment 4)Geological & Hydrological conditions 5)Temporal & spatial variation 6)Others
Methods: Scooping Grab sampling Bailor / Bomb Pumping
Pretreatments: Filtration; Removal of SS & (microbes), with 0.1, 0.2 or 0.45 m pore membrane Acidification; Prohibiting pptn of the DS, with HNO3 Sterilization; Killing all the microbes, with HgCl2 Refrigeration; Supress microbial activity at 4C
3-3. Soil Sample Collection & Preparation General Considering Factors ▪ Soil types ▪ Soil profiles ▪ Parents & local geology ▪ Plantation ▪ Land uses ▪ Others Collection Methods ▪ Shovels ▪ Soil core sampler ▪ Auger ▪ Soil moisture sampler ▪ Customized personalized devices
Sampling Design ▪ Grid ▪ Barbell cluster ▪ Nested Cell ▪ Stratified vs. unstratified Treatment of Soil Samples ▪ Drying ▪ Sieving ▪ Removal of organics ▪ Grinding Ch. 3. SAMPLE COLLECTION & TREATMENTS
3-4. Sediment Sample Collection & Preparation General Considering Factors ▪ Spatial (horizontal) variation ▪ Vertical (depth) variation ▪ Size distribution ▪ Temporal variation ▪ Sedimentation mechanism (sedimentation media) ▪ Disturbance by sampling ▪ Parental rock Collection Methods ▪ Grab ▪ Core sampler ▪ Customized personalized devices Ch. 3. SAMPLE COLLECTION & TREATMENTS
Sampling Design ▪ Mostly depends on the distribution of the sediments Treatment of Soil Samples ▪ Very similar to the soil sample treatment ▪ Size fractionation Ch. 3. SAMPLE COLLECTION & TREATMENTS
3-5. Rock Sample Collection & Preparation General Considering Factors ▪ Rock types ▪ Weathering ▪ Grain size: generally sample size should be 60 times larger than the grain size ex) <1/16cm 3*4*1 cm ▪ Structure & texture ▪ Others Collection Methods ▪ Hammer ▪ Core sampler ▪ Chiesle Ch. 3.
