Soil quality - Pretreatment of samples by freeze-drying for subsequent analysis (ISO 16720:2005)
ISO 16720:2005 specifies a method for pretreatment of soil samples by freeze-drying for subsequent analysis.
ISO 16720:2005 is applicable to soil samples for subsequent determination of elements or organic compounds recognized as non-volatile under freeze-drying conditions. Generally, ISO 16720:2005 can also be applied to samples from sludges and sediments.
This method is also applicable as a first step for the determination of dry matter (or water) content, for instance in the case of samples with high water content.
Bodenbeschaffenheit - Vorbehandlung von Proben durch Gefriertrocknung für die anschließende Analyse (ISO 16720:2005)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Vorbehandlung von Proben durch Gefriertrocknung für die anschließende Analyse fest.
Diese Internationale Norm ist für Proben aus Böden für die anschließende Bestimmung von Elementen oder organischen Verbindungen anwendbar, die unter den Bedingungen der Gefriertrocknung als nicht-flüchtig identifiziert werden. Grundsätzlich kann diese Internationale Norm auch für Schlamm- und Sedimentproben angewendet werden.
Die Gefriertrocknung kann als erster Schritt bei der Bestimmung des Trockenmasseanteiles (oder des Wassergehaltes) angewendet werden, beispielsweise im Falle von Proben mit einem hohen Wassergehalt.
Qualité du sol - Prétraitement des échantillons par lyophilisation pour analyse subséquente (ISO 16720:2005)
L'ISO 16720:2005 spécifie une méthode de prétraitement par lyophilisation d'échantillons destinés à être soumis à une analyse ultérieure.
L'ISO 16720:2005 est applicable à des échantillons de sols qui vont être ensuite soumis à un dosage d'éléments ou de composés organiques reconnus comme étant non volatils dans les conditions de lyophilisation. D'une façon générale, l'ISO 16720:2005 peut aussi être applicable à des échantillons de boues et de sédiments.
Cette méthode peut aussi être utilisée en tant que première étape pour déterminer la teneur en matière sèche (ou en eau), par exemple dans le cas d'échantillons ayant une teneur en eau élevée.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16720 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 3, Chemical
methods and soil characteristics.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16720:2005(E)
Soil quality — Pretreatment of samples by freeze-drying
for subsequent analysis
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for pretreatment of soil samples by freeze-drying for
subsequent analysis.
This International Standard is applicable to soil samples for subsequent determination of elements or organic
compounds recognized as non-volatile under freeze-drying conditions. Generally, this International Standard
can also be applied to samples from sludges and sediments.
This method is also applicable as a first step for the determination of dry matter (or water) content, for
instance in the case of samples with high water content.

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced

method
3 Principle and general requirements
Before freeze-drying, samples shall be cooled below their eutectic points. These are rarely known, but
freezing the samples below −40 °C is usually sufficient.
During freeze-drying, water is removed from the sample under vacuum conditions by direct conversion from
ice to vapour (sublimation) which is collected in a condenser where it releases its heat energy and turns again
into ice. Generally a temperature below −50 °C inside the condenser is suitable for usual applications.
Sublimation requires heat in order to take place within an acceptable range of time. When the frozen sample
containers are connected to an external inlet manifold (see 5.1.2), heat energy is supplied by the laboratory
atmosphere. In case of a drying chamber equipped with temperature-controlled carriers (see 5.1.1), this
energy is provided by heating the carriers.
Vacuum conditions shall allow the generation of vapour pressure difference needed for sublimation and the
continuous evacuation of water vapour from the sample. Throughout the drying process, the pressure inside
the apparatus and the temperature of the sample(s) shall be such as to avoid sample thawing and loss of any
compound of interest. This last point may be difficult to achieve due to the large range of possible energy
levels of the bonds between compounds of interest and the solid phase. For compounds known as
non-volatile, a final temperature of the sample between −20 °C to −25 °C is suitable. Other final temperature
