Lynch et al. [21] have described a method for the determination of organic carbon in silty lake sediments. In this method the air-dried and sifted (-250 mesh) sample is leached with 4M nitric acid-0.1M hydrochloric acid for 1.5h at 90-95°C, and the extinction of the cooled, clean solution is measured at 500nm. The extinction correlates well with weight loss (%) on heating the sample between 120 and 800°C. The precision is 26%. The same leach solution can be used for trace-metal determinations. 

Saunders and Williams [79] have discussed ignition methods for the determination of organic phosphorus in soils. Sodium carbonate fusion has also been used to solubilize phosphate in soil analyses.
