Determination of Salinity in Water

One of the important quality test parameters carried out in water is the "Sainness Determination". Salinity in water is expressed in grams/kilogram. When all carbonates are converted to their oxides, when all bromides and iodides are replaced by chlorides, and when all organic matter is oxidized, the total amount of solids in water is expressed as "Salinity".

The terms chloronite and chlorosite are used for the determination of salinity.

Chloronite is the expression of bromides and iodides as chlorides.
Chloricity: defined as chlorinity x density (at 20 ^oC).

Three different test methods are used for Salinity Determination:

Electrical conductivity method
Hydrometric method
Argentometric method
