mg/L chloride present.
d) Turn the heat control to setting 10, with the thermometer
in place. The yellow pilot lamp shows when the heater is
on.
e) When the temperature reaches 180 °C (about one hour),
turn the still off.
f) Dilute the collected distillate to 100 mL, if necessary.
Analyze the distillate by the above method.
Summary of Method
The SPADNS 2 Method for fluoride determination involves the
reaction of fluoride with a red zirconium-dye solution. The
fluoride combines with part of the zirconium to form a colorless
complex, thus bleaching the red color in an amount proportional
to the fluoride concentration. Seawater and wastewater samples
require distillation. See Optional Apparatus for Distillation
Apparatus listing.
Pollution Prevention and Waste Management
SPADNS 2 Reagent contains a non-toxic proprietary reducing
agent in place of sodium arsenite.
