Development of Organic Solute and Total Organic Carbon Monitors.

摘要

The Electrochemical Organic Content (EOC) Analyzer and three New Technology Analyzers were conceptually designed and evaluated. The four analyzers are feasible approaches to monitoring organic solute concentrations in the effluent of the Water Processing Element (WPE) of the Medical Unit, Self-Contained, Transportable (MUST) Army field hospital. The New Technology Analyzers are the Electrochemical Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer, the Electrochemical Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Analyzer and the Electrochemical Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) Analyzer. The feasibility of a laboratory breadboard version of the EOC Analyzer was experimentally demonstrated. Results, conclusions and recommendations are presented.
