Integrated Water Discharge Standard

NATIONAL STANDARD of

THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
中华人民共和国国家标准
GB 8978-1996
 
Integrated Water Discharge Standard
污水综合排放标准
Date of Approval : Oct. 4, 1996
Date of Enforcement: Jan. 1, 1998

Preface

 
The standard is the revised edition of “Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard”(GB8978-88).
 
The major contents for the revision are: put forward the standard of fixed date to substitute the classification of the existing enterprise and the new construction, extension and reconstruction (NCER) enterprise in previous standard. The time divided is determined according to the implementation date of this standard. The organizations built before December 31st, 1997 are required to implement the limit in the first time phase. The organizations built after the January 1st, 1998 are required to implement the limit in the second time phase.
 
As for the applying scope of the standard, the principle is clear that the integrated wastewater discharge standard can not overlap with the trade discharge standard. Wastewater discharged from the paper industry, ship, ship-building industry, off-shore oil exploitation industry, dyeing & finishing of textile industry, meat processing industry, synthetic ammonia industry, iron and steel industry, space propellant, ordnance industry, phosphate fertilizer industry, caustic alkali and polyvinyl chloride industries is required to implement the corresponding national trade standards. All the other organizations discharging wastewater are required to implement this standard. Except the above-mentioned 12 trades, the following 17 issued water pollutants discharge standards are included in this revision. 
 
Compared with the previous standard, the standard limits in the first time phase are kept on the same level of the NCER enterprises of the previous standard. In order to control the characteristic pollutants and other poisonous and harmful pollutants in the water pollutants discharge standards on the 17 special trades that have been included in this revision, 10 items for control are added. As for the standard limits of the second time phase, 40 items for control are added. The maximum allowable discharge concentration of the items such as COD, BOD5 is restricted properly.
 
The standard substitutes GB8978-88 and the following standards since the enforcement date of this standard.

1.   Determination of the Total Amount of Color Developer
---- 169 Color Formation Reagent Method
It is very difficult to detect the color developer in integrated wastewater discharged from film developing. The domestic and foreign methods introduced are usually applicable to the detection of developer in the developing water. This method can rapidly detect the color developer in integrated wastewater. If there are many kinds of color developers in wastewater, the result of this method is the total amount of the various color developers.
 
1.      Principle
 
The color developer in the film developing wastewater can be oxidized by oxidant. When the oxide and water soluble color formation reagent are mixed in alkaline solution, they will rapidly couple to form dye. When the developers with different structure (TSS, CD-2, CD-3) couple with 169 color formation reagent to form dye, the maximum adsorption spectrum wavelength is 550nm, and it obeys the Bill law in the range of 0-10mg/L.
 
Take TSS for example, the reaction is as follows:
 
 
 
2.      Instrument and Equipment
 
721 or similar type of spectrophotometer and 1cm colorimetric cell;
Measuring flask of 50ml, 100ml and 1000ml.
 
3.      Reagent
 
(1)       0.5% color formation reagent: weigh 0.5g 169 color formation reagent and put it into the beaker with 100ml distilled water, add 1~2 grains of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) while agitating, then make them dissolve completely.
(2)       Mixing oxidant solution: make CuSO4. 5H2O (0.5g), Na2XO3 (5.0g), NaNO2 (5.0g) and NH4Cl (5.0g) dissolve in 100ml distilled water successively.
(3)       Standard solution: weigh 100mg photo color developer precisely (one of the most used in production), dissolve them in a little distilled water which has been dissolved 100mg Na2SO3 as protection reagent, then transfer into the measuring flask of 1000ml volume, add the distilled water to the graduation. The concentration of the standard solution is 0.1mg/ml. It must be prepared just before using.
 
4.      Procedure
 
(1)     Draw up the standard curve
 
Add different amount of the following developer standard solutions into six measuring flasks separately.

Add 1ml color formation reagent solution into the above mentioned six measuring flasks separately, add distilled water to the graduation, then add 1ml mixed oxidant solution separately, shake to uniformity. Determine the luminous densities of the dye produced from different samples at 550nm of spectrophotometer in five minutes (suppose the NO. “0” as zero), draw up the corresponding luminous density curve of the different developer content. The horizontal coordinates are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mg/L.
 
(2)     Determination of water sample
 
Put two shares of water samples (normally 20ml) into two measuring flasks of 50ml separately. One is the water sample to be determined, the other is used as blank test. Add 1ml color formation reagent into former water sample to be determined, then add the distilled water to the graduations of the two flasks. The other procedures are the same as the drawing of the standard curve. Suppose the blank solution to be zero, determine the luminous density of water sample, check out the corresponding concentration on the standard curve.
 
5.      Calculation
 
The concentration checked from the standard curve×50/a = the total amount of color developer in wastewater (mg/L)              (D1)
 
In which,
 
a – the number of wastewater sample in ml.
 
6. Matters Needing Attention
 
(1)      The luminous density of the created magenta dye is stable in eight minutes. So it’s appropriate to do the determination in five minutes after the dye created.
(2)      The method excludes the black and white developer.
 
2.   The Determination Method of the Total Amount of Developer and its Oxide
There exists different quantity of potash prussiate bleacher solution in film developing wastewater, which partly or completely oxidizes the discharged developer. So one situation is that there exist developer and its oxide in wastewater, the other situation is that there only exist lots of oxide but no developer. The result determined by the method is the total amount of developer and its oxide under the first situation, and is the content of oxide of original developer in wastewater under the second situation.
 
1.  Principle
 
The developers most used normally have the structure as p-diphenol, p- aminophenol, p-diamino benzene compounds. They can be oxidized and hydrolysised to p-quinone. Bromine or chlorine bromine is used to oxidize the developer to the developer’s oxide. Then the iodometry is used to carry out the determination of iodine-starch colorimetry.
 
Take metol for example:
 
Quinone is a stronger oxidant. In acid solution, iodine ion quantitatively reduces p-benzene diquinone to p-benzene diphenol. The released equivalent iodine can be determined with colorimetry by use of starch that can change blue.
 
2.  Instrument and Equipment
 
721 or similar type of spectrophotometer and 2cm colorimetric cell, the thermostate water bath bowl, the measuring flask of 50ml volume, the pipette with graduation of volume of 2ml, 5ml and 10ml.
 
3.  Reagent
 
(1)         Potassium bromate-potassium bromide with concentration 0.1N: weigh 2.8g potassium bromate and 4.0g potassium bromide, then use the distilled water to dilute to 1L.
(2)         1:1 phosphoric acid: add the same volume of distilled water into the phosphoric acid.
(3)         Saturated sodium chloride solution: weigh 40g sodium chloride, then make them dissolve in 100ml distilled water.
(4)         Potassium bromide with concentration of 20%: weigh 20g potassium bromide, then made them dissolve in 100ml distilled water.
(5)         Phenol with concentration of 5%: dissolve 5ml phenol into 100ml distilled water.
(6)         Potassium iodide solution with concentration of 5%: weigh 5g potassium iodide, then dissolve them into 100ml distilled water. (Prepare when using and then put them in dark.)
(7)         Starch solution with concentration of 0.2%: weigh 1g soluble starch, add a little water and stir them evenly, pour the boiling water of 500ml, then boil them for 5 minutes. Add 0.2g salicylic acid in summer.
(8)         Prepare Standard Solution
 
Weigh 0.276g p-diphenol precisely (molecular weight is 110.11g). If it is photo grade metol(molecular weight is 344.40g), weigh 0.861g, and photo grade TSS (molecular weight is 262.33g), weigh 0.656g. (Or calculate according to the molecular weight and purity of the reagent chemicals used), dissolve them in 25ml 6NHCl, then transfer them into measuring flask of 250ml. Add distilled water to the graduation. The concentration of the solution is 0.0100M.
 
4.  Procedure
 
1). Draw up the standard curve
 
(1)      Take 25ml of standard solution, add distilled water to dilute to 1000ml. The concentration of the solution is 0.00025M. That means there is 0.25μmol p-diphonel in every milliliter solution (solution A).
(2)      Take 25ml of solution A, dilute it to 250ml with distilled water. The concentration of the standard solution is 0.000025M, that means there is 0.025μmol p-diphonel in every milliliter solution (solution B).
(3)      Take six 50ml volume of measuring flasks, and add the standard diluted solution (solution B) 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 μmol p-diphonel separately (that’s 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 20.0ml volume of solution B), add appropriate amount of distilled water, make the volume of solution in each measuring flask to be about 20ml.
(4)      Add 2ml volume of 1:1 phosphoric acid by the pipette.
(5)      Draw 5ml volume of saturated sodium chloride solution by the pipette.
(6)      Draw 2ml volume of 0.1N potassium bromate-potassium bromide by the pipette; don’t touch the wall of the flask as much as possible. Wash the wall of the flask by a little of water, and shake evenly. The solution shall be pale yellow of bromide chloride, put it into water bathing bowl with the constant temperature at 35℃ for 15 minutes.
(7)      Draw 2ml of potassium bromide solution with concentration of 20%, put into the measuring flask along the wall of the flask. After shaking evenly, place it into water bathing bowl of constant temperature at 35℃ for 5~10 minutes.
(8)      Add 1ml volume of phenol solution with concentration of 5% rapidly by the dropper, shake evenly at once, make the color of bromine fade. (It is likely to generate white precipitate if adding slowly, it is unable to use colorimetric method).
(9)      Lower the temperature: place it in the tap water to lower the temperature for three minutes.
(10)  Add 2ml of newly prepared potassium iodide solution with concentration of 5% by the pipette, wash the wall of the flask. Place it into the dark cabinet for five minutes.
(11)  Draw 10ml of starch indicator with concentration of 0.2%, add into the measuring flask, add distilled water to graduation. After covering the lid and shaking it evenly, place it into the dark cabinet for 20 minutes.
(12)  Place the chromophoric test solution into the colorimetric cell with volume of 2ml separately. At the wavelength of 570nm of the spectrophotometer, take the reagent blank as zero, then determine the luminous densities of the five solutions separately, and draw up the standard curves. The horizontal coordinates are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5μmol/50ml.
 
2) Determination of the water sample
 
Take appropriate amount of water sample (about 1~10ml) into 50ml volume of the measuring flask, and add the distilled water to about 20ml. Add 20ml volume of distilled water into another 50ml the measuring flask as the reagent blank. The following procedures are carried out according to procedure (4)~(12), determine the luminous densities of the water samples, check out the number of the microgram molecular in 50ml water sample from the curve
 
3)      Determination of water sample needed eliminating the interference
 
When the water samples contain chromium (VI) that affects the determination, chromium (VI) can be reduced to chromium (III) by the sodium nitrite. Then eliminate the interference of superfluous sodium nitrite to this experiment by use of excess urea. Thus the interference of chromium (VI) can be eliminated.
 
Take appropriate amount of water sample (about 1~10ml) precisely, put it into 50ml volume of the measuring flask, add the distilled water to about 20ml, add 2ml 1:1 phosphoric acid, then add three drops of 10% sodium nitrite, shake fully, put it into the water bathing bowl with constant temperature of 35℃ for 15 minutes. Then add 2ml 20% urea, shake fully, put it into the water bathing bowl with constant temperature of 35℃ for 10 minutes. The following operation shall be carried out according to procedures (5)~(12), determine the luminous density, check out the number of the microgram molecular contained in 50ml water sample from the curve.
 
5.  Calculation
 
Calculate the total amount of the developer and its oxide in water sample (refer as p-diphenol) by the following formula:
C(mg/L)=         (D2)    
 
6.  Note
 
(1)     The experiment requires careful and serious operation because of its many procedures and long time needed.
(2)     The glass instruments used must be cleaned by detergent.
(3)     The temperature of water bathing shall be kept at 35℃±1℃ exactly, the reaction time of every procedure should be controlled accurately.
(4)     After potassium bromate-potassium bromide is added, the distilled water must be used to wash the wall of the measuring flask. Otherwise, the residual potassium bromate will react with potassium iodide to produce iodine, which will increase the luminous density.
(5)     In wastewater without containing the chromium ion, the water sample need not be treated and can be determined directly.
(6)     If the concentration of water sample is too high, it should be determined after the dilution is done in advance.
 
3.Determination of Element Phosphor--Molybdenum-Blue Colorimetric Method
1.  Principle
 
The element phosphor is oxidized to molybdenum phosphate after extracted. The molybdenum phosphate is reduced to blue complex compound by fin bichloride. Its sensitivity is higher than vanadium molybdenum phosphate colorimetric method, and it is easy to concentrate. After concentration, it can improve the detect reliability of element phosphor whose concentration is lower than 0.1mg/L, and it can reduce the interference.
 
When the contents of arsenide, silicide and sulfide in water sample is 100, 200 and 300 times of the phosphor content separately, there is no clear interference to the method.
 
2.  Instrument and reagent:
 
Instrument:
spectrophotometer, 3cm colorimetric cell
Colorimetric tube: 50ml
Separating funnel: 60, 125 and 250ml

The concentration of PO4-3 –P of the solution is 0.1mg/ml. Take 10ml of the solution to 1000ml measuring flask, fix the volume, then you will get the potassium dihydrogen phosphate standard solution with the concentration of PO4-3 –P of 1μg/ml.

(7) 1: 1 sulfuric acid solution, 1:5 nitric acid solution, 20% sodium hydroxide solution.
 
4.  Determination procedures:
 
(1) When the concentration of element phosphor in wastewater is higher than 0.05mg/L, the water phase can be used for colormetric analysis directly by the following procedures:
 
1) Pretreatment of water samples
 
a)         Extraction: Take 10~100ml water sample into 125ml or 250ml volume of the separating funnel containing 25ml benzene. After shaking it for five minutes, place it motionlessly until the phases appear. Take the water phase into another separating funnel containing 15ml benzene, place it motionlessly after shaking it for two minutes. Abandon the water phase, mix the benzene phase into the first separating funnel. Add 15ml water, place it motionlessly after shaking it for one minute. Abandon the water phase, wash the benzene phase for six times.
 
b)         Oxidation: Add 10~15ml potassium bromate-potassium bormide solution and 2ml 1:1 sulfuric acid into the benzene phase, shaking for five minutes, add 2ml perchloric acid after place them motionlessly for two minutes, shake for five minutes, transfer into a 250ml of the ground flask. Heat slowly on the electric hot board to drive the excessive perchloric acid and bromine (don’t make the sample spattered or dried), take the flask from board and make cool when the white vapor diminishes. Add a little amount of water and a drop of phenolphthalein indicator, neutralize them to pink color by the 20% sodium hydroxide solution. Add a drop of 1:1 sulfuric acid solution until the pink color vanishes, transfer them into the measuring flask, dilute them to graduation with distilled water (determine the dilution volume according to the content of element phosphor).
 
2) Colorimetry:
 
Transfer appropriate amount of above diluted solution into 50ml colorimetric tube, add 2ml 2.5% ammonium molybdate and six drops of 2.5% tin bichloride-glycerine solution, add water to dilute them to the  graduation, mix them evenly, place them at 20~30℃ for 20 to 30 minutes, pour them into 3cm colorimeter cell, and take the blank reagent as zero, determine the luminous density at 690nm of spectrophotometer.
 
3) Draw the curve of direct colorimetric method: 
 
(a)            Transfer appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate standard solution into 50ml colorimetric tube, make the amount of PO4-3 –P to be 0, 1, 3, 5, 7,……. 17μg separately, determine the light density. 
 
(b)            Take the content of PO4-3 –P as the horizontal ordinate, the luminous density as the vertical ordinate, draw the curve of direct colorimetric method.
 
 
 
(2) Adopt the organic phase extraction colorimetric method when the concentration of element phosphor in wastewater is lower than 0.05mg/L. Operate according to the following procedures:
 
1)     Pre-treatment of water sample:
 
Extraction and colorimetry: transfer the appropriate amount of diluted oxidized solution into 60ml separating funnel containing 3ml 1:5 nitric acid solution.  Add 7ml 15% ammonium molybdate solution and 10ml acetate butyric ester, shake for one minute, and abandon the water phase.  Add 2ml 1% tin bichloride solution into the organic phase, shake them evenly. Then add 1ml anhydrous alcohol, move the separating funnel softly, make the water drops down, draw off water phase, pour organic phase into 3cm colorimetric cell, at the 630 or 720nm wave length of spectrophotometer, take the reagent blank as zero and determine the luminous density.
 
2) Drawing of organic phase extraction colorimetric curve.
 
(a)            Transfer the appropriate amount of potassium di-hydrogen phosphate standard solution into 60ml separating funnel, make the content of PO4-3 –P to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5μg separately, add a little amount of water, the following procedures are the same as above mentioned extraction colorimetric method.
 
(b)            Take the content of PO4-3 –P as horizontal ordinate, the density as vertical ordinate; draw the curve of direct colorimetric method.
 
5.  Calculation:
 
Calculate the number of milligram of element phosphor in 1L wastewater with the direct colorimetric method and the organic extraction colorimetric method by the following formula:
P=           (D3)                         
 
In which,
 
G—the amount of element phosphor checked from the curve, μg;
V1—the volume of the gathered wastewater sample, ml;
V2---the diluted volume after oxidization of waste wastewater sample, ml;
V3--- the volume of diluted solution taken for colorimeter, ml.
 
6.  Precision:
 
The difference of the two results determined in parallel should not exceed 10% of the smaller one.
 
Take the arithmetic mean of the two results determined in parallel as the content of element phosphor in water sample. The determined result takes two significant digits.
 
7.  Preservation of sample:
 
Adjust pH of water sample to 6~7 after sampling. It can be kept for 48 hours in plastic or glass bottle.
