A rapid method for the determination of organic carbon in soil

Author: Mebius, L.J.

Description: TIURIN’S method for the determination of organic carbon in soil is modified to give results practically identical with those of the dry combustion method. The standard deviation of a single determination is only 12%. By using 50 mg of soil and 10 ml of 0.2 N dichromate solution, soils with a carbon content up to 12% can be analyzed. The method is suitable for all soils except those containing much chloride or reducing substances other than organic carbon. Carbonates do not interfere.
