AWWA JAW3877

Measuring the group parameter total organic halogen (TOX) may be an acceptable alternative to analyzing specific compounds in order to monitor water quality and the efficiency of water treatment processes for removing potentially hazardous organics. Preliminary results indicate that TOX levels can be used to determine the degree of saturation of activated carbon adsorbers. Once the relationship between adsorbed TOX and effluent quality is established, it should be possible to monitor adsorber performance using TOX as the indicator. Only occasional checks of the relationship between effluent quality and adsorbed TOX would then be necessary. Humic substances, aqueous TOX measurements, nonvolatile TOX, pyrohydrolysis, nitrate wash, and halide determination are also covered. Includes 6 references, tables, figures.
