K.R. Walker’s research while affiliated with Shimadzu and other places

Realizing that the wet chemical total organic carbon (TOC) of the future must address the need for further optimizing the efficiency of the wet chemical TOC oxidation process, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments developed the TOC-Vw Wet Chemical Series TOC analyzer, which incorporates the UV light, heat, and persulfate (UHP) oxidation method in a single instrument. The advantages of the UHP wet chemical oxidation technique are numerous. By combining UV light, heat at 80°C, and persulfate the analyst will achieve better accuracy and faster analysis times, and decrease persulfate consumption.
