Variability of organic carbon content in bottom sediment of Pahang River Estuary, Pahang, Malaysia

Variability of organic carbon content in bottom sediment of Pahang River Estuary, Pahang, Malaysia

The percentage organic carbon content of 62 bottom estuarine sediment in Pahang river estuary were analyzed using the wet dichromate oxidation method. In this study, the organic carbon distribution ranged from 0.09 to 2.05%. The high concentration can be found near the Pahang river mouth while the l...
