2029 Phosphate Analyzer

From Metrohm Process Analytics

Elemental phosphorus is highly reactive and thus binds easily to oxygen, forming phosphates (ortho-phosphates o-PO , poly-4

phosphates, and organic phosphates). Phosphates in water sources can come from minerals, detergents, agricultural (fertilizer) runoff, and other anthropogenic influents. Environmental agencies have strict regulations regarding industrial phosphate emissions. In the treatment facility it is important to know the phosphate concentration in the influent stream either to feed the bacteria for biological treatment or to calculate the amount of reagents needed for chemical treatment.

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

About the Phosphate application

Depending on the desired measurement range (µg/L to mg/L), o-PO 4

can be determined photometrical y with the Vanadate-molybdate method (405 nm), or with the Molybdenum blue method (875 nm).
