TCLP Testing Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure

TCLP or Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure is a chemical analysis process used to determine whether there are hazardous parameters present in a waste. The test involves a simulation of leaching through a landfill and can provide a rating that can prove if the waste is dangerous to the environment or not. This rating can dictate the waste management methodology that the company adopts to dispose of the waste afterwards.

WasteWater

Wastewater is produced from various industrial processes such as mining, power generation, petroleum refineries, dairy processing, chemical production, food production and many more.
All industries are now required to treat their wastewater on site before it is discharged to the sea or to the main treated stations.
Wastewater can be defined as water which is of no further immediate value to the purpose for which it was used or in the pursuit of which it was produced, because of its quality. Three types of treated wastewater are distinguished: primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Sea WaterAnalysis

Sea Water Pollution can be defined as the mixing of sea water with a group of waste and chemicals that move from land to it. 

Types of Sea Water Pollution: 

●	Natural marine pollution.
●	Plastic marine pollution.
●	Chemical marine pollution.

Field Observations

During every sampling event, observations of field conditions that could assist in the interpretation of monitoring data are to be recorded. This can provide useful information about the water being sampled, which can help diagnose the source and potential impact of pollutants found by chemical analysis.
Examples of such field conditions are as follows:
● Rain can wash potential pollutants from surrounding land in to waterways
● Winds may drive some constituents toward one side of the water body or create mixing which might help dissipate them more quickly
● shading from cloud and vegetation can influence the level of dissolved oxygen.
Any abnormalities that may indicate pollution or affect water quality, such as absence of flow, presence of surface scum, water colour or odours, excessive algal or plant growth, dead fish or invertebrates should also be noted.

Field Measurements

Analytes that quickly degrade after they are sampled must be tested in the field. Field testing may also be used for other samples that can be reliably and measured in the field. Where possible, field measurements should be undertaken in situ. EPA recommends the following analytes be measured in the field as concentrations of these analytes can be significantly changed during transport and storage:
●	Chlorine.
●	Conductivity.
●	Dissolvedoxygen(DO).
●	pH.
●	Redox(reduction/oxidationpotential).
●	Temperature.
●	Turbidity.
Many of these analytes can be reliably measured using multi-parameter meters—usually with an electrode for each analyte .

Labeling And Identification

Samples need to be labeled so they can be readily identified at all times. Sample containers should be marked in such a way that they can be clearly identified and distinguished from other samples in the laboratory. Without appropriate labeling, all samples may look alike. Labels will need to be durable. Most samples will be preserved in ice so labels which will not come off when we need to be used and the ink used will need to be insoluble in water. It is important to take care when packing samples, as samples are often subject to vibration during transport causing identification to rub off or become illegible. It should be noted that xylene in permanent markers can contaminate samples intended for organic analysis. Biro or pencil should be used for organic samples. Labeling on samples should contain as much information as practical. Sample labels must specify a clear and unique identifying code that can be cross-referenced to the monitoring location and time of sampling (eg via sampling record sheet).
Labels May Also Contain:
●	Date Of Sampling.
●	Time Of Sampling.
●	Location And Name Of Sampling Site (Include GPS Coordinates If Available).
●	Job Or Project Number.
●	Name of Sampler.
●	Container Pre-Treatment And Preservations Added.
●	Other Observations That May Affect The Method Or Results Of The Analysis.

The information above should be recorded on the Field Record Sheet and retained as a permanent record. Hazardous or potentially hazardous samples (such as solvents) should be clearly marked as such. Similarly, any samples that could reasonably be expected to have particularly high concentrations of a particular analyte should be brought to the attention of the laboratory, as this may affect the analytical technique.

PreservationTechniques

Preservation techniques are vital to minimize changes to the sample following sampling.

Refrigeration:  Keeping samples between 1°C and 4°C will preserve the majority of physical, chemical and biological characteristics in the short term ( < 24 hours) and as such is recommended for all samples between collection and delivery to the laboratory. It is recommended that microbiological samples be refrigerated between 2°C and 10°C (as per AS/NZS 2031:2001). Ice can be used to rapidly cool samples to 4°C before transport. Ice bricks are preferred over loose ice or dry ice.

Freezing: In general, freezing at ( < –20°C) will prolong the storage period. However, the freezing process significantly alters some nutrients and biological analytes such as chlorophyll, and the laboratory should be consulted before samples are frozen. Filtering samples in the field before freezing may be required. This is usually done for soluble nutrients, particularly when same day delivery to the laboratory is not possible. 

Chemical addition:  The appropriate chemical preservative and dose rate can vary between analytes and according to container size. The analytical laboratory should always be consulted to establish which chemical preservative is appropriate for the analytical technique employed by that laboratory. Preservatives include acidic and basic solutions, and biocides. It is important these are used in the form of concentrated solutions so that the volume of preservatives required is minimized. This will minimize the dilution effect the preservative has on the sample. Chemical additives are normally added by the laboratory and supplied pre prepared. When sampling with pre-prepared additives, it is important that the bottle is not flushed during sampling. It is also important to minimize the amount of spillage from the bottle during collection. All preservation procedures employed should be recorded such as on the field sheet or chain of custody form. Some preservatives need to be removed or negated before analysis (eg pH corrections) and are required to be considered by the laboratory before analysis. It is crucial that a clear record of any sample treatments is available to the laboratory.

HoldingTimes

Samples must be delivered to the laboratory within the required holding times.
While preservation techniques can reduce degradation rates, they may not completely halt such changes. All analytes therefore have a holding time, which is the maximum time that can elapse between sampling and analysis, and where the sample is unlikely to be significantly modified under the recommended preservation conditions.

Holding times for each analyte are included inSAMPLE COLLECTION , FIELD-TESTING PROCEDURES & REFERENCE GUIDES. PDF
