Determination of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon in waters is of particular importance for the water treatment industry. A simple method for determining biodegradable dissolved organic carbon which is applicable to surface and drinking water is proposed. It consists of sterilizing the water sample, inoculating it with autochthonous bacteria, and measuring the decrease in dissolved organic carbon concentration due to the carbon oxidization by bacteria. The detailed experimental procedure is discussed, and validation of the method is presented. The method has been used for studying river waters and for drinking water treatment plant design.
测定水中可生物降解溶解性有机碳对于水处理行业具有特别重要的意义。本文提出了一种适用于地表水和饮用水的可生物降解溶解性有机碳的简单测定方法。该方法包括对水样进行灭菌，然后用土著细菌进行接种，并通过细菌对有机碳的氧化作用来测量溶解性有机碳浓度的降低。文中详细讨论了实验步骤，并对方法的验证进行了介绍。该方法已用于河水的研究和饮用水处理厂的设计。
