Determination of Fluoride in Water
Determination of Fluoride in Water
Although approximately 1 mg/L of fluoride is beneficial for dental health, even if water is found naturally and added in a controlled manner when necessary, it can cause health problems above certain amounts. High fluoride concentrations can adversely affect animal and human health. Therefore, “Fluoride Analysis” in water is an important test parameter.
Fluoride analysis in water is determined by the following methods:
- Colorimetric method
- Electrode method
The basis of the colorimetric method is based on the distillation of the samples and the reaction between the fluoride and the zirconium dye. The electrode method is the easiest method. By preparing fluoride solutions, the necessary device is prepared so that the measurement can be made in the desired range and the measurement is made.TS EN 12173 Chemicals used in the treatment of drinking and utility water - Sodium fluorideTS EN ISO 10304-1/AC Water quality - Determination of dissolved ions by liquid ion chromatography - Part 1: Determination of bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and sulfateTS 4234 ISO 10359-1 Water quality - Fluoride determination - Part 1: Electrochemical probe method for potable and slightly polluted watersCLICK HERE FOR WATER ANALYSIS.
