Comparison of methods to determine oxygen demand for bioremediation of a fuel-contaminated aquifer
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5479519
Four analytical methods were compared for estimating concentrations of fuel contaminants in subsurface core samples. The methods were total organic carbon, chemical oxygen demand, oil and grease, and a solvent extraction of fuel hydrocarbons combined with a gas chromatographic technique. Presently the most applicable and convenient technique, based on greatest apparent contaminant recovery, is the solvent-extraction gas-chromatographic method. Sample heterogeneity and opportunity for losses due to contaminant volatility require considerations during sample handling, analysis, and when interpreting analytical data.
