Alban Berg - Online Analyser for Copper and Nickel

Industry. Nickel and Copper are used in alloys (stainless steel), electroplating, foundries, catalysts, welding rods and coinage, and can be found in electronic equipment, construction materials, aerospace equipment and consumer goods such as batteries, paints and ceramics.

Drinking water. Copper concentrations in drinking-water vary widely, with the primary source most often being the corrosion of interior copper plumbing. A guideline value of 1.5 mg/litre was recommended for copper in drinking water.

Toxicity. Inhaled nickel compounds are carcinogenic to humans and that metallic nickel is possibly carcinogenic. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most prevalent effect of nickel in the general population.

Method

The Metal is measured as chelate complex between metal ions in the waste water and sensitive spectrophotometric reagent dye. Change of the intensity of the visible light throughout measurement chamber containing formed metal complex is directly proportional to metal concentration.
