Adsorbable Organic Halides (AOX)
Adsorbable Organic Halides (AOX)
AOX (Adsorbable Organically Bound Halogens) is a key water and wastewater quality parameter used to measure the concentration of organically bound halogens such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine. It is commonly determined in accordance with standards including DIN ISO 9652, EPA 1650 C, and EPA 9020 B for the assessment of water quality and regulatory compliance.
Beyond drinking water and municipal or industrial wastewater, AOX analysis is also applied to sewage sludge, soils, and sediments, as specified in EN 16166 and DIN 38409-S18. In the paper processing industry, AOX can additionally be measured in solid materials such as paper and cardboard in accordance with ISO 11480. Sewage sludge intended for agricultural use as fertilizer or for thermal recycling is subject to strict monitoring of its AOX content to ensure environmental and regulatory compliance.
