Abstract

A method for determining trace amounts of total chlorine present in a water sample. The method includes use of DPD as an indicator. The sample is filtered after a color development delay, and then light absorbance through the sample is measured. A control sample is treated with malonic acid to de-chlorinate the control. Light absorbance through the sample being tested is adjusted by the light absorbance through the control sample.
