Wet Chemical Oxidation Technology

Wet Chemical Oxidation Technology is a fundamental method employed in the determination of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in water for pharmaceutical applications. In this technique, the organic carbon in a water sample is oxidized by subjecting it to a chemical oxidation process. This process converts the organic carbon into carbon dioxide (CO2). The resulting CO2 is then quantified using various analytical methods, such as infrared spectroscopy, to measure the concentration of TOC accurately. This method is essential for ensuring the quality and safety of pharmaceutical-grade water by detecting and quantifying organic impurities, which are a concern in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to their potential impact on product quality and safety.
