Comparison of determination methods of total organic carbon in soils
01/Feb/2008
The total organic carbon (TOC) in soils can be estimated by dry and humid combustion methods. Both have some drawbacks, mainly the humid combustion, which demands high reagent quantities and generates toxic waste containing chromium. The Mebius in Block method was developed to decrease the quantity of Na dichromate used in analyses. The objectives of this study were to verify the precision and accuracy of the Mebius in Block compared with other wet and dry combustion methods. The study was […]
