  2. Wastewater quality indicators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

    Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, indicators of fecal ...

  3. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    Chemical water analysis is carried out on water used in industrial processes, on waste-water stream, on rivers and stream, on rainfall and on the sea. [1] In all cases the results of the analysis provides information that can be used to make decisions or to provide re-assurance that conditions are as expected.

  4. Sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate

    This is a common laboratory test to determine if sulfate anions are present. The sulfate ion can act as a ligand attaching either by one oxygen (monodentate) or by two oxygens as either a chelate or a bridge. [7] An example is the complex Co 2 (SO 4)] + Br − [7] or the neutral metal complex PtSO 4 (PPh 3) 2] where the sulfate ion is acting as ...

  5. Qualitative inorganic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_inorganic_analysis

    This includes ions which form sulfides that are insoluble at high concentrations. The reagents used are H 2 S in the presence of NH 4 OH. NH 4 OH is used to increase the concentration of the sulfide ion, by the common ion effect - hydroxide ions from NH 4 OH combine with H + ions from H 2 S, which shifts the equilibrium in favor of the ionized ...

  6. Sodium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate

    Sodium sulfate is a typical electrostatically bonded ionic sulfate. The existence of free sulfate ions in solution is indicated by the easy formation of insoluble sulfates when these solutions are treated with Ba 2+ or Pb 2+ salts: Na 2 SO 4 + BaCl 2 → 2 NaCl + BaSO 4. Sodium sulfate is unreactive toward most oxidizing or reducing agents.

  7. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

  8. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and an iron catalyst (typically iron(II) sulfate, FeSO 4). [1] It is used to oxidize contaminants or waste water as part of an advanced oxidation process. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene).

  9. Chemical phosphorus removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_phosphorus_removal

    As more aluminum sulfate is added, water pH decreases. At higher pH, the soluble species Al(OH) 4 − is present. In neutral pH ranges (6–8), the insoluble aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3) occurs. As pH decreases further, the Al(III) ion remains present. [2] Maintaining optimal pH is important for the removal of phosphorus from water.
