Why Should Alkalinity be Monitored in Industrial Process Water?
Date:2025-02-28 Browse: 11

We know that the pH of a natural water body can be said to be in equilibrium, and alkalinity refers to the total amount of all substances in the water that can be neutralized by strong acids. Simply put, the alkalinity is too large, and the corresponding pH value will increase. The change of pH value will affect the organisms in the water, and it will also have a corrosive effect on the water facilities!

 

So Why Do Industrial Process Water Monitoring Programs Have Alkalinity?

If the alkalinity of the water is too high, sprinkling some acidic drugs or some polluting acid water and rain water is actually not a problem, will not change the pH of the water too much. In addition, the alkalinity is large, the toxicity of heavy metal ions in water (copper, lead, etc.) will be reduced, but the alkalinity is not the greater the better, too large, it will affect the pH value becomes higher.

To sum up the above content, the alkalinity is too high and too low, so it is necessary to control the content of alkalinity in water, so it is necessary to monitor the alkalinity of water in real time through the water quality alkalinity online analyzer.

 

How to Monitor the Alkalinity of Industrial Process Water?

This, of course, requires the use of water quality monitoring instruments, the TOH-8000 water quality alkalinity online analyzer produced by Hangzhou Modi is to complete the colorimetric analysis of water quality through continuous flow analysis technology, and measure the absorbance value after mixing the water quality and alkalinity indicator at a specific wavelength, and compare it with the standard known alkalinity substances, so as to calculate the alkalinity value of the time water sample. It is typically used to measure the total alkalinity of industrial boiler water, circulating water and the total alkalinity of drinking water.
