Drinking and Waste Water Treatment
10 Dec 2012Water clarity is measured by monitoring the turbidity. This is useful to check the effectiveness of the treatment process, but is no use in controlling dosing or investigating the source of a problem if one arises. In this application note it is shown that the Malvern Zetasizer can be used for the measurement and control of the zeta potential of suspended material in water in a treatment plant. This will improve water quality and increase plant throughput.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters. Find the best particle characterization instruments in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Waste WaterDrinking Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Zeta Potential
