Evaluation of Methods for the Analysis of Small Molecular Weight End-Products of Wastewater Ozonation.

Abstract

The treatment of hospital laboratory wastewaters by ozonation produces a number of organic products: methanol and acetone are converted to formaldehyde, formic acid, and acetic acid and phenols are converted to oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid, and glyoxal. Methods for detecting these residual organic compounds at levels of less than 5 mg/L in laboratory wastewater were evaluated and compared.
