Quantitative evaluation of biocide contamination in industrial wastewater using PeCOD technology

The objective of this research is to contribute to the development of PeCOD technology for its application in the industrial wastewater sector. This instrument uses a nanotechnology-based approach to COD analysis that is both faster and environmentally safer than the conventional test method. Our approach is to use advanced analytical equipment, design-of experiments methodologies, and statistical regression tools to identify the appropriate correlations between the two methods for a range of industrial wastewater sources. We will evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the existing PeCOD technology with industrial 'high load' wastewaters. Also, we will develop a fundamental understanding of the robustness of the technology for water samples that contain biocides and other additives.
