Abstract:Increasingly, organics in water are receiving attention. According to the authors of this article, there has been no apparatus that combines the features of low cost, reliability, portability, and ease of use until now.Here is a first installment, detailing the apparatus and describing, gen erally, the ramifications of testing. In March, the JOURNAL will publish complete test procedures.*Because the concentration of CCE may vary, depending upon the method of collection and extraction, additional lower-case let… Show more
“…Sorbents from CROCA samplers were washed with an acidic solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride to remove iron hydroxide that prevented the efficient elution of the sorbents. Studies have shown that the Phenols (10) Chlorinated alkanes and alkenes (5) Chlorinated aromatic compounds (13) Aromatic compounds (7) Aldehydes and ketones (3) Amines (13) Carboxylic Acids (11] Pesticides ( present at levels > 0.01 /ig/1 in water sample fTotal concentration of all gas chromatographable material in ex racts in |ig/l. based on GC detector sensitivity for tetradecane JAmount of organic material n extract of primary sorption co umn divided by amount in extracts of primary and secondary sorption beds **Average, excluding two highest and two lowest municipalities and the two coal related sources of water k acidic-reductant wash does not produce a detectable change in the number or intensity of gas chromatographable compounds eluted from either carbon or resin.…”

“…Recovery with the new miniature technique for the CCE is about seven times as great as with the older techniques and for the CAE is about twenty times the previous. 21 The proposed standards will contain "health" limits of 0.7 mg/1 for CCEm and 3.0 mg/1 for CAEm. A redetermination should be made as to the proper goals when functioning with the miniature technique.…”

“…Clean ground waters are reported to show about 0.1 mg/1 of CCEm and about 0.3-0.4 mg/1 of CAEm. 21 The ability of activated carbon to reduce the organic content of water has been repeatedly proved in practical water treatment. Hynshaw22 has recently shown that carbon will readily reduce the content of some of the common insecticides (Parathion, BHC, Malathion, and DDT) from TON of 50 or more to acceptable odor levels utilizing moderate dosages of carbon.…”
ERA has proposed new standards for water quality. These are different from the present USPHS standards and from AWWA goals. This article presents the figures and gives reasons why these standards were chosen.
“…These concentrations are about three times CCE-lf data on the same water 3. be avoided because it shortens the effective length of the sample column, thereby reducing the space for the 70.0 g of activated carbon and restricting the cleansing of the activated carbon during flushing.Start of sampling.…”
January's JOURNAL contained the description and ramifications of a new test procedure for organics in water. Here is the second installment of this two‐part article, which details the complete test procedure.*
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
