Water quality - Determination of total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total bound nitrogen (TNb) and dissolved bound nitrogen (DNb) after high temperature catalytic oxidative combustion (ISO 20236:2018)

This document specifies a method for the determination of total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total bound nitrogen (TNb) and dissolved bound nitrogen (DNb) in the form of free ammonia, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and organic compounds capable of conversion to nitrogen oxides under the conditions described. The procedure is carried out instrumentally.
NOTE       Generally the method can be applied for the determination of total carbon (TC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC), see Annex A.
The method is applicable to water samples (e.g. drinking water, raw water, ground water, surface water, sea water, waste water, leachates).
The method allows a determination of TOC and DOC ≥ 1 mg/l and TNb and DNb ≥ 1 mg/l. The upper working range is restricted by instrument-dependent conditions (e.g. injection volume). Higher concentrations can be determined after appropriate dilution of the sample.
For samples containing volatile organic compounds (e.g. industrial waste water), the difference method is used, see Annex A.
Cyanide, cyanate and particles of elemental carbon (soot), when present in the sample, can be determined together with the organic carbon.
The method is not appropriate for the determination of volatile, or purgeable, organic carbon under the conditions described by this method.
Dissolved nitrogen gas (N2) is not determined.

Wasserbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung des gesamten organischen Kohlenstoffs (TOC), des gelösten organischen Kohlenstoffs (DOC), des gebundenen Stickstoffs (TNb) und des gelösten gebundenen Stickstoffs (DNb) nach katalytischer oxidativer Hochtemperaturverbrennung (ISO 20236:2018)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des gesamten organischen Kohlenstoffs (TOC) und des gelösten organischen Kohlenstoffs (DOC) fest sowie des gesamten gebundenen Stickstoffs (TNb) und des gelösten gebundenen Stickstoffs (DNb), die in Form von freiem Ammoniak, Ammonium, Nitrit, Nitrat vorliegen oder in organischen Verbindungen, die unter den beschriebenen Bedingungen in Stickstoffoxide umgewandelt werden können. Das Verfahren wird instrumentell durchgeführt.
ANMERKUNG   Grundsätzlich kann das Verfahren für die Bestimmung des gesamten Kohlenstoffs (TC) und des gesamten anorganischen Kohlenstoffs (TIC) angewendet werden (siehe Anhang A).
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar für Wasserproben (z. B. Trinkwasser, Rohwasser, Grundwasser, Oberflächen-wasser, Meerwasser, Abwasser, Sickerwässer).
Das Verfahren erlaubt die Bestimmung von TOC und DOC ≥ 1 mg/l und von TNb und DNb ≥ 1 mg/l. Nach oben ist der Arbeitsbereich durch geräteabhängige Bedingungen (z. B. Injektionsvolumen) begrenzt. Höhere Konzentrationen können nach entsprechender Verdünnung der Probe bestimmt werden.
Bei Proben, die flüchtige organische Verbindungen enthalten (z. B. Industrieabwasser), wird das Differenz-verfahren angewandt (siehe Anhang A).
Cyanid, Cyanat und Partikel aus elementarem Kohlenstoff (Ruß) können, falls in der Probe vorhanden, zusammen mit dem organischen Kohlenstoff erfasst werden.
Das Verfahren eignet sich nicht für die Bestimmung von bei den Bedingungen des Verfahrens flüchtigem oder austreibbarem organischem Kohlenstoff.
Gelöster gasförmiger Stickstoff (N2) wird nicht erfasst.

Qualité de l'eau - Dosage du carbone organique total (COT), carbone organique dissous (COD), azote lié total (TNb) et azote lié dissous (DNb) après combustion catalytique oxydante à haute température (ISO 20236:2018)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de dosage du carbone organique total (COT), du carbone organique dissous (COD), de l'azote lié total (TNb) et de l'azote lié dissous (DNb) sous la forme d'ammoniac libre, ammonium, nitrites, nitrates et composés organiques pouvant être convertis en oxydes d'azote dans les conditions décrites. La procédure est réalisée au moyen d'instruments.
NOTE            Généralement, cette méthode peut s'appliquer au dosage du carbone total (CT) et du carbone inorganique total (CIT), voir Annexe A.
Cette méthode s'applique aux échantillons d'eau (par exemple, eau destinée à la consommation humaine, eau brute, eau souterraine, eau de surface, eau de mer, eaux usées, lixiviats).
Cette méthode permet le dosage du COT et COD ≥ 1 mg/l et du TNb et DNb ≥ 1 mg/l. Le domaine d'analyse supérieur est restreint par les conditions liées aux instruments (par exemple, volume d'injection). Des concentrations supérieures peuvent être dosées après dilution adéquate de l'échantillon.
Pour les échantillons contenant des composés organiques volatils (par exemple, eaux résiduaires industrielles), la méthode par différence est utilisée, voir Annexe A.
Les cyanures, les cyanates et les particules de carbone élémentaire (suie), s'ils sont présents dans l'échantillon, peuvent être dosés avec le carbone organique.
Cette méthode ne convient pas au dosage du carbone organique volatil ou purgeable dans les conditions décrites par la présente méthode.
L'azote gazeux dissous (N2) n'est pas dosé.

Kakovost vode - Določevanje celotnega organskega ogljika (TOC), raztopljenega organskega ogljika (DOC), celotnega vezanega dušika (TNb) in raztopljenega vezanega dušika (DNb) po katalitskem sežigu pri visoki temperaturi (ISO 20236:2018)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje celotnega organskega ogljika (TOC), raztopljenega organskega ogljika (DOC) ter za določevanje raztopljenega in posebno vezanega dušika (TNb) v obliki prostega amoniaka, amoniaka, nitrita, nitrata in organskih spojin, ki se lahko pod opisanimi oksidativnimi pogoji pretvorijo v dušikove okside. Postopek se izvaja instrumentalno.
OPOMBA 1: Metodo je v splošnem mogoče uporabiti za določevanje skupnega ogljika (TC) in skupnega anorganskega ogljika (TIC) (glej dodatek A v pregledu).
Metoda se uporablja za vodo (npr. pitno vodo, neobdelano vodo, podtalnico, površinsko vodo, morsko vodo ali odpadno vodo), ki vsebuje suspendiran material z velikostjo delcev ≤ 100 μm (dogovor). Pred vbrizgavanjem zmanjšajte delce velikosti > 100 μm na delce velikosti ≤ 100 μm. Metoda omogoča določevanje celotnega organskega ogljika in raztopljenega organskega ogljika ≥ 1 mg/l C ter raztopljenega in posebno vezanega dušika ≥ 1 mg/l N.
OPOMBA 2: Določitev koncentracij ogljika > 0,3 mg/l do 1 mg/l se uporablja samo v posebnih primerih (npr. pitna voda) pri merjenju z visoko občutljivi instrumenti. Cianid, cianat in delce elementarnega ogljika (saje), kadar so prisotni v vzorcu, je mogoče določiti skupaj z organskim ogljikom. Hlapni ali izprani organski ogljik (VOC, POC) ni določen s to metodo. Raztopljeni dušikov plin ni določen s to metodo. Na splošno je delovno območje omejeno s pogoji, ki so odvisni od instrumentov (npr. vbrizgana količina). Višje koncentracije se lahko določijo po ustreznem redčenju.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
