The quality of water is of daily concern to most chemical companies, because product quality is often dependent on water quality. Continuous analysis should permit realization of the close control needed. Accepted laboratory methods for measuring color, turbidity, hardness, and silica in industrial waters are reviewed with particular emphasis on those which offer greatest promise for continuous analysis application. Standards for color and turbidity are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
