Analysis wastewater

Precipitation gravimetry continues to be listed as a standard method for the analysis of Mg + and S04 in water and wastewater analysis. A description of the procedure for Mg + was discussed earlier in Method 8.1. Sulfate is analyzed by precipitating BaS04, using BaCb as the precipitant. Precipitation is carried out in an...

Aqueous samples are extracted with hexane or with methylene chloride by liquid-liquid extraction using a separatory funnel or a mechanical shaker, or by microextraction. Aqueous samples can also be extracted by solid phase extraction using a C-18 cartridge. Selection of sample volume should be based on the extent of sample concentration that may be needed to achieve the required detection level in the analysis, as well as the use of packed or capillary column. A larger sample concentration is required for packed column than that for capillary column analysis. U.S. EPA recommends the extraction of 1 L sample to a final volume of 1 mL for wastewater analysis performed on a packed column. For the analysis of potable water by GC-ECD on a capillary column, concentration of a 35-mL... 

Orthophosphate in an untreated or treated sample may be determined by ion chromatography (See Chapter 1.11). A detection limit of 0.1 mg/L may be achieved with a 100-pL sample loop and a 10 mmho full-scale setting on the conductivity detector. The column and conditions for a typical wastewater analysis are listed below. Equivalent column and alternate conditions may be used. 

Examples of redox indicators are Indigo Carmine (C.I. 73015 [ 860-22-0] 8), which is frequently employed, and ferroin, an iron(n) complex with three 1,10-phenanthroline ligands (14), which is widely used in water and wastewater analysis in the determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in an internationally standardized procedure. For the structure of the organic ligand, see p. 539.

All plant wastewater, including the neutralized hydrochloric acid, is transferred to city sewage treatment facilities. The results of the wastewater analysis at the border between the plant and its surroundings, and the city regulation data are shown in Table 26.17. The table shows that all city regulations are met.

Then, the different methods available for quantitative analysis will be reviewed. The problem of determining one or two or more components can be solved with the usual methods based on the absorbance measurement at one or several wavelengths, if the optical response of the solution is free of interferences. Unfortunately, for water and wastewater analysis, there is always either physical (diffuse absorption of particles, for example) or chemical interference (e.g. overlapping peaks due to competitive absorbance of compounds), so that more robust methods have to be chosen. The simpler of them are probably the derivative techniques, because they offer to the user the possibility to... 

Depending on the nature of analyte(s) of interest, sample preparation processes will be quite different. In liquid sample preparation, as for water and wastewater analysis, the analytes from matrices can be separated in two different ways ... 

The majority of published and standard IC methods for phosphate determinations are based upon anion exchange chromatography, coupled with various modes of detection. Standard IC methods for inorganic ion analysis are also now available and widely used by regulatory environmental monitoring agencies. Table 7.2 lists a selection of standard IC methods approved in the U.S.A. for environmental water and wastewater analysis.
