Abstract

PURPOSE:To exactly measure the content and concn. of the org. carbon incorporated in sample water by determining the carbon dioxide formed from the total carbon in a total carbon measuring system and the carbon dioxide formed from the inorg. carbon in a total carbon measuring system and obtaining the difference between these quantitatively determined values. CONSTITUTION:The carbon dioxide obtd. in the total carbon measuring system A and the carbon dioxide obtd. in the inorg. carbon measuring system B are respectively determined and the difference between these quantitatively determined value is obtd., by which the concn. of the org. carbon in the sample water is computed. The computation of the concn. of the org. carbon incorporated into the sample water is, therefore, possible; in addition, such concn. of the org. carbon is measured without particularly subjecting the sample water into which the org. carbon is incorporated to a treatment such as bubbling during the course of the measurement. The determination of the org. carbon by volatile org. matter is possible as well and the exact determination of the total org. carbon in the sample is possible in this way as compared to a TOC analyzer of a wet oxidation method for which the pretreatment practiced heretofore is adopted.

"Problem to be Solved by the Invention" By the way, according to the organic carbon content measuring device configured as described above, inorganic carbon is removed as a pre-process to measuring organic carbon. Removal of inorganic carbon is carried out by bubbling sample water, so when inorganic carbon is removed, volatile organic substances that must not be removed, such as ethers or water, have a relatively low affinity. Alcohols, ketones, etc. also evaporated and scattered, which caused the problem that accurate measurement of organic carbon content was not possible.

As explained above, in the carbon amount measurement device configured as above, carbon dioxide obtained in total carbon measurement system A and carbon dioxide obtained in inorganic carbon measurement system B are respectively quantified, By taking the difference between these quantitative values, we calculated the organic carbon concentration in the sample water. Unlike the so-called pre-treatment method in which organic carbon is oxidized after removal with a ring, the former method is preferable because it uses a subtraction method that directly measures the total carbon concentration and inorganic carbon concentration in the sample water. When this method is adopted, organic carbon (ethers or alcohols and ketones with a relatively small affinity for water) that should be expelled by bubbling remains in the sample water, which results in a lower It is possible to reduce measurement errors and improve measurement accuracy.

In addition, in the analysis of the organic carbon concentration, the sample water is divided into the total carbon measurement system A and the inorganic carbon measurement system B by the branching section 6, and carbon dioxide is generated from the total carbon and inorganic carbon respectively. By sequentially introducing carbon dioxide into the infrared gas analyzer 22, the concentration of total carbon and the concentration of inorganic carbon are continuously calculated, and from this calculation result, the concentration of organic carbon contained in the sample water is continuously calculated. This allows efficient measurement of organic carbon concentration.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, carbon dioxide generated from all carbon in the total carbon measurement system and carbon dioxide generated only from inorganic carbon in the inorganic carbon measurement system are separated. By quantifying and taking the difference between these quantitative values, it is possible to calculate the concentration of organic carbon contained in the sample water. Since the measurement is performed without any treatment such as bubbling water, the measurement error is reduced and the measurement accuracy is improved compared to the conventional TOC analyzer using the wet oxidation method, which uses a pretreatment method. It is possible to improve this.
