copper in industrial waste water

 

Measure copper in industrial water

TYTRONICS’ SENTINEL enables you to:

  • Ensure that streams, rivers and coastal waters are not contaminated by excess copper ions;

  • Prove that a plant, or plant site, is causing pollution of local waters by high copper content;

  • Meet Regulatory Requirements & Avoid Expensive Penalties.

The measurement of copper, as cuprous ions, is most important in controlling the contamination of drinking water sources as well as municipal wastewater by industries using copper. Industries using copper include: chemical, electroplating, copper smelting and metal refiners.

The total copper content is measured by the insitu reduction of cupric ions [Cu(II)] to cuprous ions [Cu(I)] and reaction with Bathocuproine, an accepted method for the examination of water and wastewater (Method # 3500-Cu E. Bathocuproine Method, Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 15th Ed.).

Enhanced Features of Tytronics'® Sentinel:

  • Programmable from 1 to 10 methods for a single analysis compound

  • Up to 3 different calibration methods

  • Eight relay outputs, multi-programmable on each relay

  • Alarm functions, including sample flow, reagent level detection

  • From 1 to 6 stream configurations

METHOD

The Tytronics’ Sentinel duplicates the laboratory method and relies on a dual wavelength technique by which the selected reference wavelength compensates for any minor turbidity in sample solution. Reagent 1 is a buffer consisting of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium citrate, HCl. Reagent 2 consists of 1 gram of bathocuproine dissolved in 1 liter distilled water.
