how to prepare acid washed sand for disruption of cell wall and the amount required for disruption

Easiest way is with a sintered glass filter funnel. Place the sand in the funnel, add the acid (1M HCl or H2SO4 will do for this), stir it around then apply the suction, Turn off the suction, add clean water, stir it around then apply the suction again. Repeat the wash a couple of times then dry under suction, pour the sand out of funnel and oven dry.
