Can we dry soil samples in a kiln commonly used for ceramics?

It is possible to dry soil samples in a ceramics kiln by running two 12-hour drying cycles at a low firing temperature (around 105ËšCelsius). However, we recommend that you weigh a few soil samples after the second 12-hr cycle, and then let all of the samples dry for another hour or so. Then weigh the same few samples again.

If one or more of the samples have lost more than 0.1 g of water, then continue to dry all of the samples for another 12-hour cycle. Continue this process until the samples stop losing moisture. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
