Quantitative determination of phenolic compounds in aqueous solutions

New Monitoring Systems for Water Analysis

publication

Conclusion

The new on-line total carbon and total organic carbon monitoring systems provide efficient and reliable analysis for various water samples.

Supporting Evidence

  • The new systems can monitor total carbon and total organic carbon in continuously flowing samples.
  • The Fisher Phenol Analyser can measure phenol in water samples without needing dilution.
  • Results from the new analyzers are less affected by operator technique compared to traditional methods.

Takeaway

There are new machines that can check the amount of carbon in water quickly and accurately, which helps keep our drinking water safe.

Methodology

The study describes a continuous flow auto-analyser distillation method for determining phenol equivalents.

Limitations

Further investigations are recommended for higher distillation temperatures and different evaluation methods.
