I am working on a project where I need to be able to quantify the percent
organics bound in a sample of sand taken from a marine location. Are there
any standard procedures for determining the organic content of a sand
sample? At this point all I'm interested in obtaining is what percent of
the sample is inorganic and what percent is organic. In my mind a simple
ashing test seems to be the most logical test for this end result. If
anyone has any procedures for determining this (or tips), I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,
