Abstract

Comparison methods of C-organic determining in organic fertilizers by gravimetry (ash content) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry (Walkley & Black) had been performed. The difference between the two methods was seen from the validation parameters of each method. This research used precision, homogeneity, stability test, control chart and measurement uncertainty as parameter of validation method. The result of method validation indicates that both methods are not precision, but have homogeneous results. The stability test showed that C-organic analysis by gravimetry had stable results while in the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method, the results were unstable. Control chart analysis showed the results of C-organic analysis in a organic fertilizer with gravimetry method statistically controlled, while the C-organic analysis of glucose solution as standard by UV-Vis spectrophotometry method was uncontrolled. The measured uncertainty value of the gravimetry method of 0.0041% is much smaller than the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method of 2.1529%. The average percentage of C-organic content obtained from the gravimetry method was 18.654%, while the average percentage of C-organic content produced using UV-Vis spectrophotometry method was 8.674%. These results indicated that both methods are significantly different.
