Quantitative evaluation of biocide contamination in industrial wastewater using PeCOD technology

本研究的目的是促进PeCOD技术在工业废水领域的应用。该仪器使用基于纳米技术的方法进行COD分析，比传统的测试方法更快，更环保。我们的方法是使用先进的分析设备，实验方法设计和统计回归工具来确定两种方法之间的适当相关性，用于一系列工业废水来源。我们将评估现有PeCOD技术处理工业“高负荷”废水的能力和局限性。此外，我们将对含有杀菌剂和其他添加剂的水样技术的稳健性有一个基本的了解。

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.
