“…Kirsten (112, US) has reported on the determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus using 0.1-mg. samples. Belcher and collaborators have published a series of papers on submicromethods in which carbon (9), nitrogen (14,21), and bromine and iodine (19) are determined on the 50scale. Battley (11) describes a method to determine carbon by wet oxidation with alkaline persulfate and measuring the carbon dioxide in the Warburg manometer.…”
