Total Organic Carbon
Carbon analysis (also called CO2 analysis or carbonate analysis) is used to determine the total carbon content or the content of different carbon fractions in a variety of sample materials.
It is carried out on coal, coke, petrol, secondary fuels, lime stone, stones, ores, ashes, plants and soils to measure concentrations of total carbon (TC), total organic carbon (TOC) or total inorganic carbon (TIC).
Carbon analysis with combustion analyzers is a standardized method consisting of the following steps: weighing the sample, adding accelerators if required, combustion of the sample in an oxygen stream and measurement of the combustion gases, usually with infrared cells.
Carbon analysis is a routine process used in production control, incoming/outgoing goods inspection, industrial R&D and scientific research at universities. There are various other methods to measure carbon concentrations.
