Sample line tubing and connections need more attention with Gas Diffusion Chemistries The gas diffusion methods for analyzing Ammonia, Total Keldahl Nitrogen and the various species of Cyanide have produced a few specific problems not normally seen on classic colorimetric chemistries run on an autoanalyzer. Due to the precise nature of the gas passing across [...]
The U.S. EPA and ASTM cyanide analysis methods based upon gas diffusion amperometry do not require a preliminary acid distillation step and are now approved as amendments to 40 CFR 136 Clean Water Act Methods on their website as published in the 2012 Method Update Rules (MUR) in the Federal Register. These methods were specifically [...]
ASTM D7511-09 Standard Test Method for Total Cyanide by Segmented Flow Injection Analysis, In-Line Ultraviolet Digestion and Amperometric Detection This is a new standard test method that was developed by ASTM Committee D19 on Water to determine the concentration of total cyanide in drinking and surface waters, domestic wastewater, and industrial wastewater. Cyanide ion (CN-), hydrogen [...]
ASTM D6888-09 Standard Test Method for Available Cyanide with Ligand Displacement and Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) Utilizing Gas Diffusion Separation and Amperometric Detection ASTM Committee D19 on Water has recently revised this standard. This method is used to determine the concentration of available inorganic cyanide in an aqueous wastewater or effluent. The method detects free [...]
Docket ID No. OW-2003-0070 Comments Related to the Proposed Cyanide Determination Methods Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 66 / April 6, 2004 / Proposed Rules, pp. 18166 – 18226 Prepared by: Emil Milosavljevic, Ph.D. and Ljiljana Solujic, Ph.D. Distillation-based methods for determination of operationally defined cyanide have very limited application because of the serious interferences from the species likely [...]
Gas diffusion modules are used in autoanalyzers whether segmented flow analysis (SFA), sometimes referred to as continuous flow analysis (CFA), or flow injection analysis (FIA). The purpose of the gas diffusion module is to function as an in-line cleanup eliminating particulates, potential ionic interferences and chemical complexes. The target analyte permeates through the membrane into a [...]
