General description

(free chlorine) Method: photometric, DPD 0.03 - 6.00 mg/l Cl₂ Spectroquant®
This Spectroquant® Chlorine test allows the accurate quantification of chlorine in various waters. Chlorinated disinfectants are still in common use all over the world, their major applications being in the chlorination of drinking water and swimming pools. In weakly acidic solution free chlorine reacts with dipropyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) to form a red-violet dye that is determined photometrically.
The method is analogous to EPA 330.5, APHA 4500-Cl2 G, and DIN EN ISO 7393-2.
All our Cell and Reagent Test Kits are equipped with the unique Live ID (2D barcode) which allows seamless method recognition and contains essential information such as lot number, expiry date, and automatic calibration updates.
The Spectroquant® Cell Tests come with prefilled 16 mm round cells as well as all the required reagents to perform the analysis according to the procedure described in the accompanying instruction leaflet.

Application


  • Sustainable lindane waste remediation: Surfactant-driven residual DNAPL extraction and oxidation in a real landfill (LIFE SURFING).: This study uses a chlorine cell test to assess the effectiveness of surfactant-driven extraction and oxidation processes for the remediation of lindane waste in a landfill, highlighting innovative environmental cleanup methods (Fernández et al., 2024).

  • Disinfectant-induced ammonia oxidation disruption in microbial N-cycling process in aquatic ecosystem after the COVID-19 outbreak.: Utilizes chlorine cell tests to study the impact of disinfectants on microbial nitrogen cycling in aquatic systems, providing critical insights into environmental effects of increased disinfectant use during the pandemic (Yang et al., 2024).

Protocols

AQA Standard for free chlorine - Preparation of a standard solution for free chlorine - Preparation of a stock solution of free chlorine: First prepare a 1:10 dilution using a sodium hypochlorite solution containing approximately 6 - 14 % of active chlorine. For this pipette 10 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution into a calibrated or conformity-checked 100-ml volumetric flask and then make up to the mark with water for analysis.

Preparation of a standard solution for free Chlorine according to DIN EN ISO 7393
