Abstract
The method involves the dry combustion of samples in a standard tube furnace and the direct titrimetric determination of the evolved CO2 as carbonic acid in a sodium hydroxide trap. Liquid samples are dried onto a siliceous earth bed prior to combustion. The method has a range of about 0.5-10 mg C.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
