Low Parts per Billion Determination of Sulfide by Coulometric Argentometry

Present methods for the determination of sulfide in wastewater are hindered by poor detection limits and extensive sample pretreatment. A less problematic method has been developed with a method detection limit of 2.5 μg L-1. With this technique, sparged hydrogen sulfide is precipitated in an acetate-supporting electrolyte by electrogenerated silver ions. Analysis of basepreserved samples was p...

Method 1658: The Determination of Phenoxy-Acid Herbicides in Municipal and Industrial Wastewater

Treatability Evaluation of Municipal Wastewater and Anaerobically-Treated Industrial Effluent in a Rotating Biological Contactor

Performance of a rotating biological contactor (RBC) in treating municipal wastewater from primary sedimentation basin and anaerobically treated industrial effluent from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was investigated. The 280-L six-stage RBC pilot was operated at different organic loading rates and biodisc speeds. The overall removal efficiencies of soluble BOD decreased wit...

Multiresidue determination of organophosphorus pesticides in corn oil using solid-phase extraction with lanthanum silicate sorbent and gas chromatography

Phosalone, malathion and diazinon were analyzed in corn oil using solid phase extraction (SPE)with lanthanum silicate as a new solid sorbent followed by gas chromatography with nitrogenphosphorus detection (GC-NPD). The efficiency of different eluents (methanol, dichloromethane,ethyl acetate, dichloromethane — ethyl acetate (1:1) and ethyl acetate — methanol (1:1)) werecompared for elution of o...
