Simple analysis of desalination waters without the high cost.
Efficiency of boron removal in desalination processes
Boron, naturally present in seawater, is not something you want to be drinking a lot of. Intake per day is approximately 2 mg.
For plants, boron levels are critical. Levels above 1 mg/L will destroy many crops including strawberries. Due to the toxic nature of high levels of boron, the WHO recommends limits of 0.5mg/L in drinking water.
For desalination processes, knowing the efficiency of boron removal is a critical parameter of product release. Having an on-site analysis technique reduces the end product holding time and ensures safe drinking water.
Metrohm Ion Chromatography uses ion exclusion chromatography with reversed chemical suppression to achieve low-level analysis of boron in the form of boric acid.
Key advantages of Metrohm Ion Chromatography
- Simple reversed chemical suppression
- Flexible automation
- Low detection limits
- Short analysis turn-around
