    Estimation of Total Dissolved Solids in Water Samples: Revision Summary GTP Number Date Revised Reason For Revision

    Uploaded by

    This document outlines a procedure for estimating total dissolved solids in water samples. It involves filtering a well-mixed 100 mL water sample through a filter paper, then evaporating and drying the filtrate in a weighed crucible at 180°C. The increase in weight of the crucible represents the total dissolved solids. The procedure is calculated by subtracting the initial crucible weight from the final weight after drying, then multiplying by 1000 and dividing by the sample volume of 100 mL to obtain mg/L total dissolved solids. The document provides the purpose, apparatus, step-by-step procedure, calculation, and reference.

    1.2 A well mixed sample is filtered through whatman filter paper, and filtrate is
    evaporated to dryness in a weighed dish and dried to constant weight at180º
    C.The increase in the dish weight represents the Total Dissolved Solids

    2.0 APPARATUS
    2.1 Glass Crucible
    2.2 Oven for drying
    2.3 Analytical Balance
    2.4 100 ml measuring cylinder
    2.5 Whatman filter paper and funnel

    3.0 PROCEDURE
    3.1 Sample 100 ml of water in a clean and dried standard glass bottle.
    3.2 Cut a small piece of Whatman Filter paper so as so to accommodate in the
    funnel.
    3.3 Take the filter paper and form a cone shape and place it in the funnel.
    3.4 Slowly pour the sample through the side wall of the filter placed in the funnel filter
    the entire sample.
    3.5 Take the weight of the Empty crucible (A)
    3.6 Pour the filtrate into the crucible and keep it at 180º C for evaporation.
    3.7 After complete evaporation place the crucible in the desiccator.
    3.8 After the temperature of the crucible is reduced to room temperature weigh the
    crucible. (B)
    3.9 The increase in the weight of the dish will represent the total dissolved solids.
    4.0 CALCULATION

    i. Weight of the Crucible after drying. - B


    ii. Initial Weight of the crucible - A
    iii. Volume of the sample taken - 100 ml
