An automated colorimetric method for the determination of dissolved organic carbon in sea water by U.V. destruction

  • Published:
Hydrobiological Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A fast (30 samples/hour) and precise method is described, which can be used for both sea and fresh water in measuring dissolved organic carbon over a range of 0,1–10 mg C/liter. At this moment we are testing the efficiency of this D.O.C. analyser against flame ionization detection system.
