A Simple Assembly for Carbon Determination in Water
The classical assembly for carbon and hydrogen analysis in
organic compounds was modified for the determination of carbon
in water samples. Numerous analyses of known solutions and of
waste and surface waters containing 5 mg-10 g carbon/I were
performed. The accuracy and reproducibility of results were satisfactory.
The range of applicability is limited by the sensitivity
of the gravimetric determination: on one side and on the other by
the sample volume accessible
