W-050.07.111 [2021-03] Cation-reactive Surfactants in Wastewater – Photometric Determination (Rapid Test)

Application/Purpose

This method describes how to determine the concentration of cationic surfactants in wastewater photometrically with a cuvette test.

Scope of Application

Wastewater resulting from the industrial production of beer and other foods

Principle

Cationic surfactants react with bromophenol blue to form complexes which can be extracted with chloroform and measured photometrically.
