Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
In a broad range of systems, TOC is measured at various concentrations. By oxidizing the organic molecules to quantitative forms, TOC is generally measured.
Depending on the kind, concentration, and analytical needs of the TOC being evaluated, a variety of oxidation and detection methods are used (e.g. speed, sensitivity).
- Combustion at a high temperature of 1,200°C in an environment rich in oxygen. Scrubber tubes are used to reduce interference before non-dispersive infrared absorption is used to detect the CO2 generated (NDIR).
- Platinum catalyst-catalyzed high-temperature catalytic oxidation at 680°C in an oxygen-rich atmosphere inside tubes, followed by NDIR.
- Using heat and a chemical oxidizer, typically persulfate, in a thermochemical oxidation process.
- Using UV light and a chemical oxidizer, commonly persulfate, to perform photochemical oxidation.
- UV photo-oxidation either by alone or in conjunction with a catalyst The most accurate, low-maintenance approach for figuring out TOC in ultra-pure fluids is the UV oxidation technique.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) measurement has various industrial uses, such as Water Quality Control, Quality Control in Food Production, Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing, Petrochemical Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Chemical Manufacturing, etc.
