The need to protect it and establish criteria for screening and measuring contaminant levels was recognized when Congress enacted the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 1976. This act requires operators of waste disposal sites to monitor their groundwater on a quarterly basis for organic carbon levels and organic halide levels. TOC analyzers are also widely used in monitoring the quality of process water Figure 1-1 Apollo 9000 in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. Because organic material can cause Apollo 9000 is comprised of the contamination, TOC analysis is also following: performed to protect process (cid:127) Syringe - for sample and reagent equipment such as boilers, turbines, introduction and purification devices. Furthermore, TOC levels in solids such as soils, clays (cid:127) Sparger - for inorganic analysis and and sediments are of increasing sample preparation for TOC interest. analysis TOC analyzers can measure total (cid:127) Combustion Furnace carbon (TC), total organic carbon (TOC), (cid:127) Furnace Injection Port inorganic carbon (IC), purgeable organic carbon (POC), and (cid:127) Water Trap - for moisture removal nonpurgeable organic carbon (NPOC). (cid:127) Permeation Tube - for moisture If the POC is <1% of the TOC, then removal NPOC is equivalent to TOC. (cid:127) Corrosives Scrubber - for halogen TOC measurement involves: removal 1. Oxidizing organic carbon in a (cid:127) NDIR Detector - for carbon dioxide sample. detection 2. Detecting and quantifying the oxidized product (CO). 2 3. Presenting the result in units of mass of carbon per volume of sample (liquids) or per mass of solid (solids). 1–3 INTRODUCTION Detection and Results 1.2 Technical Specifications Carbon in the sample is first converted Apollo 9000 TOC Analyzer to CO by the combustion furnace for 2 TOC and TC analysis or by the IC sparger for IC analysis. A carrier gas then Chemistry: sweeps the derived CO through a 2 (cid:127) Oxidation by Combustion nondispersive infrared (NDIR) detector. (from 680°C to 1000°C) Sensitive to the absorbtion frequency of CO, the NDIR generates a non-linear (cid:127) IC by Acidification and Sparge 2 signal that is proportional to the instantaneous concentration of CO in 2 Detector: the carrier gas. That signal is then linearized and integrated over the (cid:127) Nondispersive Infrared (NDIR) sample analysis time. The resulting area is then compared to stored calibration data and a sample concentration in Measurements: parts-per-million (ppm) is calculated.
