2029 Zinc Process Analyzer

From Metrohm Process Analytics

Due to its properties, zinc is used in a wide range of consumer, infrastructure, agricultural, and industrial products. In many production cycles, zinc is used and there are concerns when the concentrations are too high in the industrial waste water. If this water is not sufficiently purified, the concentrations will become too high for a healthy environment. Zinc on the other hand is essential for all the life on earth, so it needs to be monitored in all water streams, from inlets for water plants to the outlets of industrial production sites.

To ensure that the concentrations of zinc do not exceed the limits, constant monitoring of the waste water is important for many industries. The 2029

Zinc process analyzer from Metrohm Process Analytics is the most straightforward and easy-to-use tool to do so online.

About the Zinc application

Zinc (II) is determined photometrical y. The zinc forms a blue colored com-plex with addition of a zircon reagent, and can be measured at a wave-length of 620 nm. The analyzer is able to handle a wide range of zinc concentrations, from µg/L to mg/L.
