Funded Activity Summary

Rapid amperometric measurement of chemical oxygen demand in polluted water based on electrochemical and photocatalytic properties of nanoparticulates. The project will enhance a newly developed technology for measuring aggregate organic pollution in wastewater. The conventional wet chemistry method is disadvantaged by being slow (2 hr) and requiring toxic heavy metal (mercury, chromium) and hazardous reagents. Aqua Diagnostic's method, by contrast, is rapid (5-10 minutes) and uses only safe chemical reagents. It will be further improved to facilitate unprecedented near-real-time (less than 1 minute) online pollution monitoring and greater analytical robustness. The project will directly benefit the wastewater management community, enrich Australian industry's expertise in nanotechnology applications and grow high-tech exports as this innovative technology continues to penetrate international markets.
