Procedure for the determination of total solids in water and Wastewater using domestic Microwave Ovens

摘要

The Invention is technically linked to the field of Environmental Protection and very directly with the characterization of water and Wastewater.This procedure aims to realize the analytical determination of the total Solids present in the water and Wastewater, using domestic Microwave Ovens,Replacement of equipment for drying the samples described in the Conventional Methods of testing of this type (Steam rooms and stoves).The procedure is based on the use of the microwave heating and weighing Electronic balance.In This method the sample heavy, exactly, is subjected to a microwave Drying for a Predetermined time, and a fixed Power, turning to be a heavyAt the end of the Drying process, which allows the calculation of the content of total solids.
