The microdetermination of dissolved oxygen in water. I. the nature of the problem

Abstract

Abstract Methods available for the determination of low concentrations (of the order of 0·01 p.p.m.) of dissolved oxygen in water are critically reviewed and methods of assessing their accuracy are discussed. The Winkler method with an amperometric finish for the iodimetric titration is advocated with amendments to avoid errors caused by the presence of interfering substances in the water sample and in the reagents used.
