  • Patent number: 7556773
    Abstract: An analyzer for oxidizing and measuring samples containing some liquid comprising: a reactor vessel; a sample pump; a base pump connected to a base reservoir; an ozone generator adapted to create and flow ozone; an acid pump connected to an acid reservoir; a sampling valve connected to the sample pump, the acid pump, and the base pump; a circulation pump connected to the reactor vessel for mixing the sample, the liquid acid, the liquid base, and the ozone to oxidize at least a portion of the sample to its lowest state forming an oxidized liquid sample; a sample chamber for receiving the oxidized liquid sample; an analysis pump in communication with the sample chamber; and a measuring cell for receiving the oxidized liquid sample, measuring the oxidized liquid sample with a detector to optically measure at least one frequency of absorption of at least one component in the sample.
