2540 SOLIDS* 2540 A. IntroductionSolids refer to matter suspended or dissolved in water orwastewater. Solids may affect water or effluent quality adverselyin a number of ways. Waters with high dissolved solids generallyare of inferior palatability and may induce an unfavorable phys-iological reaction in the transient consumer. For these reasons, alimit of 500 mg dissolved solids/L is desirable for drinkingwaters. Highly mineralized waters also are unsuitable for manyindustrial applications. Waters high in suspended solids may beesthetically unsatisfactory for such purposes as bathing. Solidsanalyses are important in the control of biological and physicalwastewater treatment processes and for assessing compliancewith regulatory agency wastewater effluent total solids is the term applied to the material residue left inthe vessel after evaporation of a sample and its subsequentdrying in an oven at a defined temperature.
“Total solids”is the term applied to the material residue left in the vessel after evaporation of a sample and its subsequent drying in an oven at a defined temperature. Total solids includes “total suspended solids,”the portion of total solids retained by a filter, and “total dissolved solids,”the portion that passes through the ...
