Chemical method notes:
Method:
The organic material present in the sample is oxidised by a standard amount of a potas-
sium dichromate oxidising mixture. After oxidation is complete, the excess of this reagent is
measured photometrically.
Application:
Samples can be measured if the chloride content does not exceed 1 000 mg/l (LR/MR) or
10 000 mg/l (HR).
In exceptional cases, compounds contained in the water cannot be oxidized adequate. This
results in minimum findings, compared with the reference method.
Different methods of sampling, preparation of the sample itself and the time elapsed between
taking the sample and analysis can all affect the obtained results.
