    2 INTRODUCTION ANALYZER DESCRIPTION The Waltron 3041 is an on-line analyzer for batch analysis (sequence of sampling, analysis and result processing), using a colorimetric method. The analyzer is assembled in an enclosure with a lockable door. The LIQUIDS enclosure includes all the components involved in sample and reagent flows as well as mixing and reaction stages (sampling pump, colorimetric reaction cell, reagent micropumps).

    Electrical Box Liquids Box Figure 2.2: Waltron 3041 inside view with electrical box and liquids box shown. APPLICATIONS The Waltron 3041 Analyzer is designed for measurement of silica concentrations in high purity water. WORKING PRINCIPLE Lambert-Beer Law A colorimetric determination is based on the color-formation after addition of reagents. The absorbance of the solution is measured at a specific wavelength.
  • Page 18: Figure 2.3: Color Development

    Light with a specific wavelength is passed through the sample and reagent solution. . The absorbance of this light by the reaction complex, measured by a photometer, is related to the concentration of the analyte. reference  Absorbance log sensor reading Figure 2.3: Color development.
