Standard examination methods for drinking water - Part 11: Disinfectants indices
1 Scope
This document specifies the methods for determining free chlorine, total chlorine, chloramine, chlorine dioxide, and ozone in drinking water, the methods for determining free chlorine (using N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) spectrophotometry and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine colorimetry) and chloramine in water sources, as well as the methods for determining available chlorine in chlorine-containing disinfectants.
This document is applicable to the determination of disinfectants indices in drinking water and/or water sources.
2 Normative references
The following documents contain requirements which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

GB/T 5750.3 Standard examination methods for drinking water - Part 3: Water analysis quality control
GB/T 5750.4-2023 Standard examination methods for drinking water - Part 4: Organoleptic and physical indices
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 5750.1 and GB/T 5750.3 apply.
4 Free chlorine
4.1 N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) spectrophotometry
4.1.1 Minimum detectable mass concentration
The minimum detectable mass of this method is 0.1μg. If 10mL of water sample is taken, the minimum detectable mass concentration is 0.01mg/L.
This method is applicable to the determination of free chlorine and various forms of chlorine compounds in drinking water and water sources treated with chlorine-containing disinfectants.
High concentration of monochloramine can interfere with the determination of free chlorine. This interference can be eliminated by using arsenite or thioacetamide to regulate the reaction. Interference from oxidized manganese can be subtracted by running a blank water sample, while interference from chromate can be eliminated using thioacetamide.
4.1.2 Principle
DPD may react rapidly with free chlorine in water, producing a red color. Under the catalysis of iodide, monochloramine can also react with DPD to develop color. By adding iodide before DPD reagent, a portion of trichloramine may develop color together with free chlorine and monochloramine. By changing the order of reagent addition, the concentration of trichloramine can be determined.
