Colleagues!
I recall discussion somewhere about the pros and cons of using a
microwave oven for rapid drying of soil samples.
We are interested in doing this for student laboratory work where it
is the concept and calculation of water content that is important
rather than great numerical accuracy.
Does anyone have relevant experience - guidance on power levels and
drying times?
Thanks - David
