Abstract

A process of determination of organic carbon in particulate matter in sea water by dry oxidation and infra-red analysis is described. It was used concurrently with a chromic-acid wet oxidation process upon 123 samples taken at various depths in the Gulf of Guinea, each sample being divided into two equal parts. The ratio between the values of organic carbon by dry oxidation and wet oxidation is 1.09 ± 0.03.
