The development of US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 317.0 provided a more sensitive, acceptable alternative to EPA Method 300.1 to be proposed as one of the recommended compliance monitoring methods for Stage II of the Disinfectants/Disinfection By-Products (DBP) Rule. This work was initiated to evaluate other postcolumn reagents (PCRs) that might be utilized to provide an additional, alternative method in order to augment compliance monitoring flexibility for inorganic oxyhalide DBP anions. Modifications of the method reported by Salhi and von Gunten, which included adjustment and optimization of flow-rates, reaction temperature, and delivery of the PCR, improved the method performance. Method 326.0 incorporates an acidic solution of potassium iodide containing catalytic amounts of molybdenum(VI) as the PCR and provides acceptable precision and accuracy for all analytes and a postcolumn bromate detection limit in reagent water of 0.17 microg/l.
