Toc vws

Manufactured by Shimadzu

The TOC-VWS is a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer from Shimadzu. It measures the amount of organic carbon present in water samples. The instrument uses combustion and infrared detection methods to quantify the TOC levels.

ACE concentration and H2O2 evolution were determined by spectrophotometric analysis (Scinco, S3100) at 226 and 350 nm, respectively. TC, TOC and IC measurements were completed on a Shimadzu TOC-VWS instrument. pH was recorded by a pH meter WTW 7110. Hg- thermometer was employed for calorimetric determinations. BOD5 (OxiTop instrument) determinations were carried out according to the standard methods. Data logger instrument (LabPro Vernier) was used to measure the online input/output of voltage and current. All experiments were carried out at least twice.

Aqueous TCE concentration was measured by HPLC (1200 Infinity Series) equipped with a 1260 DAD detector. 1 mL of sample was diluted immediately after filtration (0.2 μm filter, Milipore) with 1 mL acetonitrile in a 2 mL vial for HPLC analysis. Oxidation-reduction-potential (ORP) and pH were recorded by microprobes. Selenate and nitrate ions were analyzed using an ion chromatography (IC) instrument (Dionex 5000) equipped with an AS20 analytical column. A KOH solution (35 mM) was used as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. To measure the selenate and nitrate in a mixture, 1 mL of sample was taken for each and filtered (0.2 μm filter, Milipore). Dichromate ion was measured by diphenylcarbazide method using Hach Chroma Ver 3 reagent at 540 nm wavelength (UVmini-1240 spectrophotometer- Shimadzu). TOC was measured by total organic carbon analyzer (Shimadzu TOC-VWS). We calculated the amount of iron released during the experiments based on the Faraday’s law.

Wastewater Characterization through Analytical Methods

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were analysed according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater [26 ]. The analytical parameters studied have been: total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS), total suspended solid (TSS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS) using thermogravimetric methods. Furthermore, chemical oxygen demand (COD) (by dichromate potassium digestion and titration), soluble total organic carbon (TOCs with a TOC-VWS Shimadzu analyser equipped with non-dispersive infrared –NDIR- sensors); Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN, by digestion, distillation and titration), proteins (based on the content of organic nitrogen), phosphorus (by digestion and spectrophotometry), pH and fat (extraction at 60 °C) were calculated.
The concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) (acetic, propionic, butyric, isobutyric, valeric and isovaleric), at the beginning and at the end of the tests, were determined by gas chromatography using a Hewlett Packard gas chromatograph (model 5890) equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). The biogas samples were analysed in a gas chromatograph (Varian 3380), equipped with a detector thermal conductivity detector (TCD) and two columns: Porapack S and a molecular sieve, for the quantitative determination of the biogas composition. The method was developed with an external standard. The carrier gas was helium.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
