A new, European standard for total carbon determination and characterization in soil and solid waste samples has recently been released. The EN 17505 Standard specifies a method for the temperature dependent differentiation of the organic carbon content (TOC400), the residual oxidizable carbon (ROC) (including e.g. lignite (brown coal), hard coal, charcoal, black carbon, soot) and the inorganic carbon (TIC900). The method uses an increasing furnace temperature to separate the different carbon fractions...
