Development of a Microwave Method for Rapid and Accurate Analysis of Solids and Water Content

摘要

Analytical procedures involving the use of a programable microwave oven have been developed for rapid and accurate analyses of total residual (total solids), total filtrable residue (total dissolved solids), total nonfiltrable residue (total suspended solids) and water content. Based on extensive laboratory evaluation, the Microwave Method is concluded to be comparable or better than the APHA/AWWA/WPCF Standard Method for Solids Analyses.
