Comparison of assimilable organic carbon and UV-oxidizable carbon for evaluation of ultrapure-water systems

R A Governal et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1992 Feb.

Abstract

Bacterial growth potential was measured in an ultrapure-water pilot plant by modified assimilable organic carbon (AOC) and UV-oxidizable carbon tests. An ion-exchange unit increased UV-oxidizable carbon, yet did not significantly (P greater than or equal to 0.05) alter AOC values. UV radiation decreased UV-oxidizable carbon and increased AOC.
