Waste water analysis

Inorganic Analysis Complexation titrimetry continues to be listed as a standard method for the determination of hardness, Ca +, CN , and Ch in water and waste-water analysis. The evaluation of hardness was described earlier in Method 9.2. The determination of Ca + is complicated by the presence of Mg +, which also reacts with EDTA. To prevent an interference from Mg +, the pH is adjusted to 12-13, precipitating any Mg + as Mg(OH)2. Titrating with EDTA using murexide or Eri-ochrome Blue Black R as a visual indicator gives the concentration of Ca +.

The analysis of environmentally-relevant samples is a major field of application. Based on the work of Garbarino and Taylor [421], a method has been proposed by the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) [422] and later by DIN [423] for waste water analysis. The latter, standardized procedure describes the sample decomposition, the analytical range for 22 elements and frequent interferences of ICP-AES in waste water analysis. For the analysis of natural waters, hydride generation [424], preconcentration based on liquid-liquid extraction of the dithiocarbamate complexes [425], adsorption of trace elements onto activated carbon [426] and also co-precipitation [e.g. with In(OH)2] [427], etc. have been reported and special emphasis has been given to speciation (as given in the Refs, in [428]) and on-line preconcentration [134]. 

ICP-MS is very promising in the area of environmental studies. Many elements can be determined directly in drinking water. In waste water analysis sample decomposition by treatment with HNO3-H2O2 is often required and the most frequent isobaric interferences have been described [559]. For seawater analysis, the salt contents makes sample pretreatment necessary, which can be done by chelate extraction. Beauchemin et al. [560] obtained a preconcentration of a factor of 50 by sorption of the trace elements onto an SiC>2 column treated with 8-hydroxyquino-line and determined Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Pb and U in seawater. In river water Na, Mg, K, Ca, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Sr, Mo, Sb, Ba and U could be determined directly and Co, Ni, Cd and Pb after the above mentioned preconcentration procedure. For As, preconcentration by evaporation of the sample was sufficient. Isotope dilution delivers the highest accuracy [561] and the procedure has been applied to... 

Pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) was used as a complexing agent for Cr to form anionic Cr(PDCA)2. The sample pH is critical to the separation. Optimum results were reported at pH 6.8. Both Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were detected by UV/VIS detection and diphenylcarbohydrazide as a post-column reagent. The method was found to be applicable for plating baths and waste-water analysis.

On Level 1 in Figure 2, the most abstract test plan is represented by a single component which is always the Test-Plan-of-Sample. The Test-Plan-of-Sample has tens of different templates in production rule form. In this case, as the sample is some kind of water sample and the purpose is the ordinary waste water analysis, the Waste-Water-Task-Set-Rule shown in Figure 4 is applied. 

This chapter deals with a variety of automatic methods with very peculiar features that distinguish them from those described In the preceding chapters and make them applicable to particular problems In areas such as completely continuous flow analysis (e.g. waste water analysis) and clinical analysis. These methods can be classified Into three general groups, namely continuous mixing methods, stopped-flow continuous mixing methods and continuous-flow titrations. 

For some matrices, e.g.those in water and food analysis, HPLC methods are gaining gradually at the expense of TLC in recommended procedures. Thus, EPA recommends an alternative HPLC method for waste water analysis of priority PAH pollutants (13) and HPLC methods have been developed recently by FDA for various foods (33, 39). This development reflects the adaptation...
