W-000.20.210 [2021-03] Potassium in Water, Determination with ICP-AES

Application/Purpose

This method describes how to determine the potassium content of water using atomic emission spectrometry.

Scope of Application

Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods

Potassium ions (as well as sodium ions) are present in almost all natural waters, although the content can range from a few mg/l to g/l. The concentration of potassium ions is usually low.
