Standard analysis of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content of seawater involves the wet oxidation technique described by Menzel and Vaccaro [1]. In this method the sample is sealed in ampoules containing potassium persulphate. As the samples are heated in a sealed pressure vessel, the organic carbon is oxidized to CO 2 which is then measured with a nondispersive infra-red analyser. Wet oxidation is best suited to seawater analysis because it is unaffected by high salt concentrations and has a high sensitivity.
