Sponsored by ASTM Committee D-19 on Water
The microelectronics, nuclear, and pharmaceutical industries have been driving a renewed interest in the determination of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in water. In addition, new EPA disinfection by-products rules require TOC monitoring of drinking water. This new publication compiles nine TOC methods in one convenient source.
Details regarding each standard follow:
D5904, D6317, and D5997 use similar instrumentation based on persulfate and/or UV oxidation followed by a high sensitivity membrane conductivity detector but have been applied to TOC levels above 1 ppm, below 1 ppm and on-line applications respectively.
D4839 and D4779 are again similar in instrumentation using UV and/or persulfate oxidation followed by infrared detection but differ in the levels of analyte detected.
D5173 contains on-line TOC methods that have not been subjected to interlaboratory studies.
D4129 is a high temperature combustion method most applicable to higher level TOC measurements.
D513 is not for TOC but for total and dissolved CO2 that is often measured when determining organic carbon by difference.
D2579, the original high temperature combustion infrared detection method, is no longer in print (discontinued) but is reprinted here.
For plant managers, quality control personnel, and laboratory directors at nuclear power plants, pharmaceutical companies, and utilities involved with drinking water; microelectronics manufacturers.
