23	23	The secondary fraction lies between 5 and 50 % of the same material. At 5% > 20% of the same material one can speak of a weak presence of the material. At 20%>50% of the same material one can speak of a strong presence of the material. There is a possibility to add a second secondary component, but that is also the maximum of secondary components that can be present.

45		-Katteklei, also cat clay is the common name for mostly clay (but sometimes venomous) deposits in which, in addition to sulphuric acid, large amounts of iron, aluminum and heavy metals also occur. As a result, the soil is poorly suited for agriculture. These soils are especially recognizable by the yellow jarosite spots, in addition, iron stains are common. The acidity of the soil is high (pH 9).

47		-Katteklei forms in soils that naturally contain many iron sulphides, especially pyrite. These usually arise in coastal areas, especially in quiet environments such as lagoons or quiet parts of estuaries and often on the edge of peatlands that emit a lot of iron-containing water. When these soils are exposed to air, for example during drainage, sulfuric acid forms. This used to happen frequently in the Western Netherlands when the drying plants were pumped out, leaving some farmers stuck with very bad plots of land. [3]
