Methods for the Determination of Inorganic Substances in Environmental Samples, August 1993

摘要

The manual contains ten updated and revised automated, semi-automated or methods amenable to automation for the determination of a variety of inorganic substances in water and wastewater. These methods include and address, in an expanded form, information concerning safety, quality control, pollution prevention, and waste management. Methods were selected which minimize the amount of hazardous reagents required and maximize sample throughput to allow expanded quality control. Automated methods are included for nitrate-nitrite, phosphorus, and sulfate. Semi-automated methods cover cyanide, ammonia, total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and generic phenolics. Methods amenable to automation include turbidity and inorganic anions by ion chromatography.
