Abstract
A monitor for measuring TOC in aqueous samples e.g. waste water, is characterised by electrolytic oxidation of the organic carbon in the sample to detectable carbon dioxide using current flow between two electrodes disposed in the sample. Typically, an aqueous sample is fed to an oxidising chamber 3 containing electrodes 7 and the resulting carbon dioxide evolved fed in a carrier gas stream comprising oxygen and hydrogen also generated in chamber 3 to a carbon dioxide measuring cell 6. Exit gas containing hydrogen and oxygen from the cell 6 may be fed to a honeycomb catalyst 14 for conversion to water. The monitor may apparently also be used to measure ammonia and nitrate/nitrite in aqueous samples.

TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON MONITOR FOR AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS This invention details an instrument for the measurement of TOC or Total Organic Carbon in aqueous samples, typically Waste-Water discharges. Total Organic Carbon is measured by converting organic material to carbon dioxide by a process of oxidation. The amount of carbon dioxide generated from a known amount of sample water relates to the organic carbon content of that sample A microprocessor is used to
compute the measured amount of organic carbon.
Most existing systems make use of high temperature reactors to oxidise the organic carbon present in a water sample, either with or without direct catalytic assistance. Other existing methods use oxidising chemzcals, sometimes in the prevence of UV light to carry out the conversion of organic carbon to carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide generated is then measured using an infra red gas detection system.
This invention uses an electrochemical technique to carry out the oxidation close to ambient temperature and without the addition of chemical oxidising agents. This technique also allows the automatic generation of a carrier gas stream for the carbon dioxide product of oxidation allowing the carbon dioxide to be transferred to the optical measuring cell. The carbon dioxide is measured using an optical technique via precipitation of a carbonate. The waste gas stream is combusted using a catalyst in accordance with the following inventive steps.
This invention details a novel method for carrying out the oxidation of organic carbon material, in an aqueous sample, to carbon dioxide gas.
This invention details a novel method of carrying the carbon dioxide gas derived from the above oxidation process using an electrochemically generated gas stream of oxygen and hydrogen.
This invention details a novel method of converting the carbon dioxide gas to a precipitate in water and measuring the quantity of precipitate optically. The response being proportional to the concentration of carbon dioxide gas.
The invention details a method of converting the hydrogen and oxygen gas stream, derived from the electrochemical process, to water using a ceramic honeycomb catalyst.
The invention details a method whereby the temperature rise generated across the catalyst is used to provide a feedback control of the electrochemical oxidation process.
The invention describes a method whereby the presence of hydrogen in the final tail gas from the system is detected to ensure complete combustion.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Figure 1-shows the layout of the measuring system
A specific embodiment of the invention consists of several elements and is described below.
SAMPLE DELIVERY SYSTEM
A sample pump or other sampling device (1) is used to deliver a sample of the aqueous material to a 3 way valve (2). The valve may be positioned either to allow flow directly to drain, bypassing, or through the oxidation chamber, filling.
SAMPLE OXIDATION CHAMBER
The sample oxidation chamber (3) consists of a reaction vessel made from either a plastic or metal material with an entry point for the sample stream controlled by a 3 way valve (2). A second valve (4) allows the sample to flow through the oxidation chamber and away to drain. A third valve (5) connects to the top of the chamber and allows the gases generated by the oxidation process to flow to the measuring cell (6) section of the system.
Inside the chamber are positioned two high area stainless steel conductive electrodes (7). The electrodes may be constructed from alternative materials. These electrodes are connected to a special power supply (not shown), that is capable of imposing a controlled DC potential onto the electrodes (7) with alternating polarity such that the pulse length, duration and scale of the voltage is all electronically controlled. The electrolytic action of the current flowing through the electrodes and the sample produces a highly oxidative environment comprising, ozone, free oxygen radicals, hypochlorous acid and hydrogen peroxide. The Organic and Inorganic Carbon are oxidised to Carbon Dioxide by this oxidising environment. Any nitrates, nitrites and ammonia are also oxidised to nitrogen dioxide. Other gases are evolved including Oxygen and Hydrogen.
The electrodes are also used to confirm that the chamber is full of aqueous sample before commencing a measurement, by checking the conductivity of the fluid in the chamber. Water will be more conductive than air confirming the sample presence.
SAMPLE TRANSFER TUBE The oxidation chamber (3) connects via a small bore pipeline (8), (the small diameter selected helps to prevent the possibility of ignition or explosion within the gases generated by the electrolytic system) to the optical (turbidity) measuring cell (6). The transfer tube (8) is made from stainless steel or other suitable material. The tubing is sized to ensure that there is no possibility of combustion in the tube. The gas from the transfer tube passes to the optical measuring cell (6)
OPTICAL MEASURING CELL "P.. rlz$ % i The turbidity cell consists of transmitted light source (not shown) located at 90 degrees to a receiving photodiode (not shown). This construction produces a nephelometric turbidity measurement that is proportional to the precipitated solids in the cell. In another version the receiver may be positioned at 180 degrees to the
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
transmitter to produce an absorpsion measurement. Other techniques and angles may be applied to the measurement.
A wiper/stirrer (not shown) is located in the measuring cell to ensure that the optical surfaces are kept clean and the measuring chamber is kept stirred. The operation of the wiper is controlled by the microprocessor based electronic instrument, which also carries out all computational and sequencing operations. A small electrical heater may be included to provide suitable reaction temperature during cold periods. The cell may be drained down using a valve (9)
REAGENT DELIVERY PUMP AND WATER DELIVERY VALVE
In order to make the measurement of the carbon dioxide evolved as a result of the oxidation of organic carbon present, it is necessary to inject clean water into the measuring cell. This is derived from a de-ionising column (10) (or other source) and is admitted to the measuring cell via a valve (11). The measuring cell is filled with clean water. Barium hydroxide or other suitable reagent (12), that will produce a precipitate proportional to the amount of carbon dioxide, is then dosed into the measuring chamber using a precision dosing pump (13) or other device such that a known concentration is present in the measuring cell. Carbon dioxide reacts with the barium hydroxide to produce a precipitate. The insoluble hydrogen and oxygen that has been generated in the oxidation chamber (3) passes through the measuring cell and into the tail gas converter (14) after being heated by electric heater (15).
TAIL GAS CONVERTOR
The gas generated by the oxidation cell will contain hydrogen and oxygen. This residual gas is vented from the measuring cell through a catalytic converter (14). The catalyst may be a ceramic honeycomb type coated with platinum. Hydrogen and
Oxygen are reacted together to produce water and evolving heat that will create a temperature rise across the catalysts. A heating element (15) may be used to produce an elevated temperature to promote the reaction of the hydrogen and oxygen.
Additional measures may be taken to suitably disperse and dilute any combustible gases generated in the process. The final gas exiting the instrument will pass through a sensor (16) to detect the presence of hydrogen, confirming the reaction of the evolved gases on the catalyst. Reacted gas is vented to atmosphere (17).------- FEEDBACK CONTROL The hydrogen and oxygen combusting on the catalyst produce a temperature rise across the length of the catalyst, proportional to the amount of gas combusted. This temperature rise is measured using sensors (18) and is used as a control signal to increase or decrease the electrochemical process. The temperature rise also indicates the correct operation of the electrochemical process.
ELECTRONIC MEASURING INSTRUMENT The instrument is controlled using a microprocessor. This microprocessor provides all the functions of operation including the sequence of measurement, the calculation and display of the results, calibration, generation of outputs and all associated tasks. The microprocessor program handles all the elements of control associated with the instrument.

ALTERNATIVE GAS MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
Whereas the method defined in this invention uses precipitation of Barium Carbonate from Barium Hydroxide other measurement methods could be used to detect the carbon dioxide. For example,
Infra Red absorpsion
Titration
Electrical Conductivity
Spectro-photometric methods using gas permeable membranes.
ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS
In addition to measuring Total Organic Carbon, the invention may be used to measure
Ammonia and Nitrate/Nitrite by oxidising the compounds to Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitrogen Oxides can then be determined, using a suitable technique as determined above.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1 The optical measuring chamber (6) is filled with carbon dioxide free water from a de-ionising column (10). Barium hydroxide is added to the water to produce a solution sensitive to carbon dioxide. Any residual carbon dioxide in the de-ionised water reacts with the barium hydroxide to produce a precipitate. Before starting the oxidation process the background level of precipitate is checked. The wiper and stirrer incorporated into the optical measuring cell are used to ensure the precipitate does not settle out and the optics are clean.
2 The sample of waste-water, possibly containing organic carbon, flows through the oxidation chamber (3) via valve (2), and passes through this chamber exiting via valve (4) and discharges to drain. The oxidising chamber is maintained full of the sample waste-water, to be measured.
3 Valve (2) and valve (4) are closed and divert the sample flow directly to drain.
The oxidation chamber is full of sample water ready for the oxidation process. 4 Valve (5) is opened. This valve allows gas to flow to the measurement chamber.
5 DC Electric current is applied to the electrodes (7) in the oxidation chamber (3). The electrochemical process results in the instantaneous generation of highly oxidative forms such as free oxygen radicals, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and hypochlorous acid (if chlorides are present). Before the electrodes become polarised and the current flowing can start to drop, the polarity of the applied voltage is reversed. The process is repeated in the opposite direction across the electrodes. The microprocessor automatically controls this process Gases will be evolved at the electrodes including hydrogen and oxygen. This evolution is minimised by controlling
the over voltage at the electrodes. In addition, carbon dioxide is evolved from solution as a result of the oxidation of organic carbon present in the sample Carbon dioxide is carried through the stainless steel transfer pipe (8) to the measuring chamber, using the hydrogen and oxygen gases generated as a carrier gas.
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
6 The gas stream from the oxidising chamber is passed through the measuring cell (6). The carbon dioxide present in the stream reacts with the barium hydroxide to form a precipitate. The microprocessor monitors the development of the precipitate whilst stirring and cleaning the measuring cell. When there is no further development of precipitate, the oxidation is deemed to be complete and the microprocessor calculates the amount of carbon dioxide reacted to form a precipitate using the optical turbidity measurement. The electrochemical oxidation process is halted. The volume of sample that has been oxidised is known and hence the concentration of carbon oxidised can be determined and represented in units of concentration
7 Whilst the oxidation process is going on, the hydrogen and oxygen gases generated act as a carrier gas for the carbon dioxide. Once the gases have passed through the optical measuring cell, they enter a honeycomb catalyst (14). The gases react on the platinum catalyst to form water The reaction evolves heat that raises the temperature of the gas stream The temperature change of the gas stream is measured and used to calculate the flow rate of gas. The resulting signal is then used to increase or decrease the rate of the oxidation process via the microprocessor control and measuring system.
8 Gas exiting the instrument is passed through a hydrogen sensor (16), that detects any un-reacted hydrogen and acts as a safety check on the process.
9 The oxidation chamber returns to the flow through condition by opening valves (2) and (4). Sample free flows through the cell washing out the previous sample. The oxidising products generated during the electrochemical reaction also keep the cell free from bio-fouling.
10 The turbidity measuring cell dumps it's completed sample to drain via valve (9) De-ionised water is passed into the measuring cell to flush out the previous sample and then the cell is refilled.
I I At the required time, determined by the microprocessor, the next sample is retained in the oxidising chamber and the process is repeated CALIBRATION The system can be configured for automatic calibration by feeding a sample with known carbon content into the oxidising chamber. The process is run as for a waste water sample. The result can be used to realign the instruments calibration. A similar test can be carried out using clean water to set the zero point of the instrument
