Schöniger oxidation
In
chemistry
, the
Schöniger
oxidation
is a
method
of
elemental analysis
developed by
Wolfgang Schöniger
.
The
test
is
conducted
in an
Erlenmeyer flask
, or in a
separatory funnel
. It involves the
combustion
of a
sample
in
pure oxygen
, followed by the
absorption
of the
combustion products
by a
solution
of
sodium hydroxide
.
It
allows
quantitative
determination
of
elemental
chlorine
,
nitrogen
and
sulfur
in a sample.
