Ultraviolet TOC Destruction
TOC Reduction
In ultrapure water systems, Ultraviolet systems are used for the effective reduction of organics, commonly referred to as TOC (Total Oxidizable Carbon).
Generated by a different quartz envelope material, the 185 nm wavelength for TOC reduction is shorter, and consequently more powerful than the 254 nm wavelength. In this case, UV energy promotes hydroxial free radicals in varying degrees of photochemical excitement. These hydroxyl (OH-) free radicals break various chemical bonds of organics, which in turn produce chain reactions, oxidizing most organics into CO2 and H2O - the basic building blocks of all organic compounds. Both TOC reduction and microbial destruction occur with the use of 185 nm UV systems. Ultraviolet systems are capable of achieving <0.5 ppb TOC Specification.
