Determining the AOX in Waste Water Using the multi X® Series Analyzers
21 Jun 2017The sum parameter ‘adsorbable organic halogen compounds’ (AOX) has been an integral part of water analysis for many years. Sewage treatment plant operators can determine the efficiency of their plant by comparing the AOX level before and after purification. This allows the operators to optimize the purification process and minimize the impact on surface water. This application note demonstrates the determination of AOX content using an analyzer of the multi X® series from Analytik Jena.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.Waste WaterWater AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
