The principle in presence of neither sulphides nor chlorates consists in liberation of carbon dioxide in a flow of gas and absorption in an excess of standard volumetric barium hydroxide solution. Titration of the excess with standard volumetric hydrochloric acid solution in the presence of thymolphthalein as indicator.
