Abstract
As regards their effect in reducing the absorption of Ca and NH4 ions the salts employed may be placed in the following series: NaCl, < KC1, < MgCl2, < CaCl2, <LaCl3, < AlCl3. Lithium chloride increases the absorption of ammonium. The specific effect of the monovalent salts LiCl, NaCl and KCl, is to increase the intake of ammonium; MgCl2, CaCl2 and AlCl3 tend to decrease its absorption.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
