The Interference Of Elemental Sulfur In The Determination Of Trace Organics In Drinking Water By The Carbon Adsorption Method

Carbon chloroform extract and related blank materials obtained by the Organics-Carbon Adsorbable modification of the Carbon Adsorption Method have been found to contain a significant amount of elemental sulfur ranging from 17 to 58%. Carbon preparation affected the blank value determined; chloroform elution of prewetted carbon yielded higher values than extraction of as received carbon. Copyright © 1976, Taylor & Francis Group, LL
