Abstract
Different factors in the determination of carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds are discussed and a very rapid, automatic combustion method is described. The sample is volatilised in a quartz capsule, and the vapours are burned; interfering combustion products are retained in fillings of silver manganite, cobalt oxide and lead oxide. Large samples can be volatilized quickly although a slow flow-rate of oxygen is used. Nitrogen oxides are retained in chromic-sulphuric acid on Silocel. The absorption tubes are connected with each other and with the combustion tube by means of polyethylene tubing. The total time for automatic combustion and sweeping is 10 minutes. The absorption tubes are weighed within 4 minutes after detaching them from the apparatus. The standard deviation of a series of 20 analyses of samples containing nitrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulphur and phosphorus was 0.23% for carbon and 0.13% for hydrogen. If the results of one analysis, run first after a holiday stop of 4 days without equilibrating the apparatus, are excluded, the standard deviation is 0.16% for carbon and 0.13% for hydrogen. A series of analyses of volatile liquids is reported.
