Rapid carbon determination by dry combustion in soil science and geochemistry
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 13:34 authored by Van Moort, JC, de Vries, DCurrent determinative methods for total carbon and inorganic carbon and carbonate removal procedures are reviewed. A short method for carbonate removal applied to soil science and geochemistry is given, and results of rapid carbon analysis with dry combustion and volumetric CO2 determination are discussed. The standard Walkley-Black determination of organic matter in soil is claimed to be unreliable because of appreciable combustion of charcoal, graphite and pyrite.
