2029 Copper(I & II) Analyzer

From Metrohm Process Analytics

Due to the physical properties of copper, it is mainly utilized for electrical applications. Copper can be found in the wiring as well as in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and chips. Many other purposes vary from use as an animal nutrient to the creation of metal alloys (bronze, brass). The amount of Cu(I & II) in wastewater is restrict-ed and many industries measure the concentration before dispos-ing the water or treating it. The copper in the sludge formed by wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is removed in sludge incineration or waste incineration plants. Depending on the type of in-dustry, effluent cannot exceed concentrations >1 mg/L of copper.

Because of its role in many different production and environmental processes, it is of vital importance to closely monitor the concentration. The 2029 Copper(I & II) process analyzer from Metrohm Process Analytics is the most straightforward and easy-to-use tool to do so online.

About the Copper(I & II) application

Copper is determined photometrical y based on the Bicinchoninate method, measured at a wavelength of 550 nm. The analyzer is able to handle a wide range of Cu(I & II) concentrations, from µg/L to mg/L.
