In environmental research, the determination of carbon content is an important parameter. In most cases, it is not only the total carbon content of the sample that is of interest, but also the organic carbon content.
The aim of the thesis was to determine the accuracy of the procedure for the determination of total carbon and total organic carbon in solid samples.
For the purpose of the thesis, it was necessary to prepare the samples, replace the crucible, combustion and absorption columns on the EnviroTOC analyser, and perform the measurements. To ensure that the results were within the linar calibration range, the thesis examined how the sample bias affects the TC value and the repeatability of the measurements.
