With the continuous progress of society, water environment has always been our concern! So the use of water quality monitoring instrument for online monitoring of sewage is a necessary work. When the zinc content of the water is found to be too high, is the water still drinkable? Of course not!

Although zinc is one of the essential trace elements of the human body, it is a more abundant trace element in the brain gyrus, and it is also necessary to maintain normal brain function. However, if the body’s zinc is too much, it will cause zinc poisoning, which is harmful to the body!

What’s the Harm?

Once a water source is contaminated with zinc, it can cause excess zinc to enter the body. The clinical manifestations of chronic zinc poisoning are refractory anemia, decreased appetite, and high serum fatty acid machine amylase. If it is a long-term excessive intake of zinc containing food it will affect the body’s copper metabolism, resulting in low copper, zinc, copper ratio is too high, can affect cholesterol metabolism, the formation of hypercholesterolemia, and high-density lipoprotein reduce 20% to 25%, and eventually lead to atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and so on.

What is the Instrument for Detecting Zinc in Water?

Simply put, it is through the instrument to detect the content of zinc in water! The T8000-Zn total zinc online monitor developed by Hangzhou Modi can detect zinc in water by high temperature acidification digestion method. After the samples to be tested are sent to the digestion reaction tank, strong oxidants are added, followed by ultraviolet heating digestion. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, various organic interfering substances are rapidly decomposed, and all forms of zinc are uniformly oxidized to bivalent zinc. Then reducing agents are added to react excess oxidants, and then characteristic chromogenic agents are added for color reaction after adjusting the acidity of the solution. The depth of color is proportional to the total zinc content in the water sample, and the absorbance value of the reaction product is measured by photometry, so as to obtain the total zinc content in the water sample. The water quality analyzer is an instrument for real-time continuous monitoring of zinc concentration in water of various industries.
