Chlorides

Description

The determination ranges of the chloride analyzer vary from 0.2 to 5000 mg/L Cl- using the (optional) internal dilution module. Single reagent configuration for easy operation and low running costs.

Method

The colorimeter uses an adaptation of the mercury thiocyanate method to measure chloride. Chloride reacts with mercury thiocyanate and iron based reagents to produce an orange-brown ferric thiocyanate complex. The absorbance intensity is proportional to the chloride concentration in the sample and is measured at 470 nm.

Chloride reacts with mercury thiocyanate and iron based reagents to produce an orange-brown ferric thiocyanate complex. The absorbance intensity is proportional to the chloride concentration in the sample and is measured at 470 nm. This method is optimezed for low range chlorides analysis, 0 - 500 ppb.
