Patent References 3224837 3459938 3607071 3854881 Apparatus for measuring content of organic carbon Method and apparatus for determination of volatile electrolytes Method and apparatus for measuring the amount of carbon and other organics in an aqueous solution Determination of total organic carbon in a plurality of aqueous samples containing halide ion Electrophotolysis oxidation system for measurement of organic concentration in water Electrodialytic water splitting process and apparatus for conversion of alkali metal sulfate values derived from spent rayon spin baths InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 869308 filed on 04/16/1992US Classes:436/145, CARBON CONTAINING436/147MEASUREMENT INCLUDES TEMPERATURE CHANGE OF THE MATERIAL BEING ANALYZED (E.G., CALORIMETRY, ETC.)ExaminersPrimary: Jones, W. GaryAssistant: Edwards, Laura Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG01N 033/00AbstractApparatus and methods for the measurement of total organic carbon and total inorganic and organic content of water are described. A novel combination of an acidification module, and inorganic carbon removal module based on a carbon dioxide selective gas permeable membrane, and oxidation reaction system which incorporates in-situ generation of oxidizing agents, coupled with catalyzed photo-oxidation of organic compounds to form carbon dioxide, and a high sensitivity, conductometric detector employing a carbon dioxide selective gas permeable membrane permits on-line measurement of the total organic carbon content of water streams. |
