A combustimetric method for determining the total carbon content of geologic materials

January 1, 1977

A modified LEGO WR-12 carbon determinator is used in a combustimetric determination of total carbon in geologic materials. A thermal conductivity cell is used as the sensing device. International reference samples are analyzed and compared to results previously published. Three new standards from the Canadian Certified Reference Materials Project were received and analyzed for the total carbon content.
