Colorimetric Detection – Fujiwara Reaction 9
Rates of the Colorimetric Reactions § Chloroform reacts more slowly than brominated THMs to form the Fujiwara product § The THM Speciation of each water sample is deduced from the kinetics of the Fujiwara reaction § 3 Measurements of Absorbance (t 1 , t 2 and t 3 ); Calculate Br3, Cl3 and X2 Optimized Fujiwara Reaction Kinetics for the Four THMs t3 t2 t1 0.45 0.40 0.35 Absorbance .e 0.30 0.25 0.20 Cl3 0.15 Br2Cl 0.10 BrCl2 0.05 Br3 0.00 0 200 400 600 800 1000 Time / secs 10
THM-100 Principal of Operation Analysis Steps THM-100 Process Flow • Draw Finished Water Sample Fill Purge Vessel (250 mL) • Extract THMs Purge Water Sample and Trap THMs • Concentrate THMs Desorb Trap and Dissolve THMs into Chemical Reaction Mixture • React THMs with Reagents Initiate the Fujiwara Reaction • Measure change in Absorptivity Spectrophotometric Detection at 540 nm • Determine Concentration of the THMs Quantitative Determination of THM Concentrations and Speciation • Report TTHM & CHCl 3 Make Results Available on the System and via 4-20 mA and OPC/MOD Bus 11
