MN VISOCOLOR® HE test kit phosphate ( DEV ) 0,01 – 0,25 mg/l P
Description
VISOCOLOR® HE Phosphate (DEV)
• Colorimetric determination of phosphate
• Ammonium molybdate reacts with phospat ions to form phosphomolybdic acid which is reduced to molybdenum blue. • The tests with the designation DEV use the same reagents as the German Standard Methods. • Larger amounts of oxidising compounds inhibit the formation of the blue colour complex and have to be destroyed prior to the test. • H2S interferes in concentrations above 2 mg/l, but can be expelled after acidification of the water sample. • Heavy metals in excess of 10 mg/l can slightly decrease the colour intensity, vanadium causes an increase in colour. • Silica interferes and causes falsely high results.
• Arsenates react like phosphates. • Citrate, oxalate, tartrate etc. reduce the sensitivity of the phosphate test.
(Reaction principle analogous to APHA 4500-P E, EPA 365,2+3, DIN EN ISO 6878-D11)

• The phosphate content in a surface water has direct consequences for its ability to support the growth of certain organisms. • Since ever increasing quantities of phosphates are being fed through domestic waste waters into rivers and lakes, these waters have a tendency towards eutrophication. • Exact data about the phosphate content are important for boiler water and feed water. • Precise dosing of phosphates in these waters can inhibit formation of boiler scale. • Pyro-, meta- and polyphosphates are not determined with VISOCOLOR® test kits. • The determination of total phosphate requires a decomposition prior to the test.
