The acid buffering capacity of the respective sample can be estimated by balancing the maximum amount of acid releasable by weathering worst case with the amount calculated theoretically from the total sulphur. The measurement of the pH and the electrical conductivity in the oxidised sample already allows a semi-quantitative assessment of the worst case. These analysis methods, conductable with little laboratorial expenditure and appliable to large sample quantities are used to estimate the maximum possible acid release from aquifers.
