EPA Method 9065 Cyanide in Wastewater Samples Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Method 9065 for the determination of cyanide in wastewater samples is a widely accepted standard for measuring cyanide concentrations. This method is part of the EPAs Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes series, which provides guidelines for laboratory analysis of water and waste samples.

Relevant Standards:

  • ISO 10304-1:2009 (Water quality Determination of dissolved anions by liquid chromatography of ions Part 1: Cyanide)

  • ASTM D7365-08 (Standard Test Method for Determination of Cyanide in Wastewater and Sewage Sludge)

  • EN 13613-2:2014 (Water quality Determination of cyanide Part 2: Titrimetric method)

  • TSE EN ISO 10304-1:2009 (Turkish Standard for Water Quality Determination of Dissolved Anions by Liquid Chromatography of Ions)

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework:

    The EPA Method 9065 is regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). These regulations mandate that wastewater treatment plants and other industrial facilities monitor for cyanide concentrations in their effluent discharges.

    International and National Standards:

  • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes standards for laboratory analysis, including Method 9065.

  • The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) develops and publishes test methods, including ASTM D7365-08.
