Carbon is an essential building block of life on our planet. The amount of Carbon present is an important factor in soils and agriculture samples.
The determination of TOC in solids has recently become ever more important, not just for evaluating wastes but TOC content measurements are also an important aspect of assessing soils.
The Carbon present in soil organic matter is referred to as organic Carbon. Soil organic Carbon is a vital component of productive agriculture. In addition sequestration of Carbon in agricultural soils has been recognised as a tool to mitigate climate change.
LECO provides innovative and timesaving analytical instrumentation for the analysis of organic Carbon content.

The presentation will outline TOC determination in soil using two different approaches. First, we will explore the use of acid treatment of the soil to remove carbonates followed by analysis using conventional combustion techniques. Next, we will explore using a ramped furnace temperature approach to differentiate organic and inorganic carbon species. TOC results from both approaches will be presented. Jeffrey Gast
