Determination of Oil and Grease in Water with a Mid Infrared Spectrophotometer

2 September 2009

This paper presents the method development for the analysis of oil and gas in water using Mid-IR using carbon tetrachloride as an extraction solvent. Carbon tetrachloride is proved to be a suitable alternative to hexane and the method is shown to be sufficiently sensitive for monitoring OG discharges in surface waters or in the drinking water network.
