The objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of developing an instrument for rapid, on-line determination of the organic content of water. The concept being investigated involves a process by which organic compounds are converted to volatile substances which are stripped from water solution and catalytically oxidized. The temperature rise by release of the heat of combustion is proportional to the amount of organic matter originally present. The proposal leading to this Phase I award was submitted in response to the Small Business Innovation Research Program Solicitation, NSF 89-30. The project proposes to develop a concept that can be used to continuously monitor the organic content of water and wastewater from municipal and industrial sources in contrast to current methods that rely on costly instruments that require frequent maintenance and operation by highly skilled technicians for discrete samples.

该项目的目标是确定开发一种快速、在线测定水中有机含量的仪器的可行性。正在研究的概念涉及将有机化合物转化为挥发性物质的过程，这些挥发性物质从水溶液中剥离并被催化氧化。燃烧热的释放所引起的温度升高与原来存在的有机物的量成正比。导致这一阶段I奖的提案是针对小企业创新研究计划征集而提交的，NSF 89-30。该项目建议开发一种概念，可用于持续监测市政和工业来源的水和废水的有机含量，而不是目前的方法，这些方法依赖昂贵的仪器，需要高技能技术人员对离散样本进行频繁的维护和操作。
