Abstract

See full text

The utilization of a specific preconcentration protocol within an automated, on-line drinking water analysis method to amplify detection levels of individual halo acetic acids is provided. The proposed sequential injection analysis procedures allow for measuring such levels in drinking water samples from remote locations with post-column reaction of ion chromatography (PCR-IC). The novel remote preconcentration method injects such known concentrations via a syringe at regular intervals in a manner to provide a baseline measurement that accords a reliable comparison with the unknown amounts present within the drinking water samples at issue. In such a manner, the on-line, remote system provides the necessary reliability for a water utility or like entity on which to base any further needed water treatment activities without having to perform such measurements in a distinct lab setting.
