Notes |
|
Chloride (Mid) |
120 samples/hour |
1 to 50
mg Cl-/L |
1 cm flowcell |

Chloride (Low) |
60 samples/hour |
0.1 to 5
mg Cl-/L |

Principle:
The chloride assay is based on the liberation of
the thiocyanate ion (SCN) from mercuric
thiocyanate, through sequestration of mercury by
the chloride ion, to form un-ionized, but
soluble mercuric chloride. The liberated SCN
then reacts with the ferric ion to form highly
colored ferric thiocyanate.
Comments:
A heater is not necessary.
The flowrate of the pump should be set
to 55 for Chloride.
The FIA LOV connections B should be bridged by a simple tubing.
Recommended wavelengths 480 primary and
650 reference
The
sample loop should be three inches of
.03” ID
tubing.
Interferences:
Components
which reduce iron (III) to iron (II) and
mercury (III) to mercury (II), e.g.
sulfite, thiosulfate.
