A method of monitoring and controlling hardness in an industrial water system is described and claimed. The method requires the use of a Compound that develops a separate detectable fluorescent signal in the presence of soluble hardness. A fluorometer is used to detect this separate detectable fluorescent signal of the Compound. The separate detectable fluorescent signal is used to ascertain the amount of soluble hardness present in the industrial water system. Another aspect of the instant claimed invention is the ability to determine whether the soluble hardness is calcium or magnesium based.
本文描述了一种监测和控制工业用
水系统中硬度的方法。该方法需要使用一种化合物,该化合物在可溶性硬度存在时会产生单独的可检测荧光信号。荧光计用于检测化合物的这种单独的可检测荧光信号。这种单独的可检测荧光信号可用于确定工业用
水系统中可溶性硬度的含量。本发明的另一个方面是能够确定可溶性硬度是
钙基还是
镁基。
