W-050.08.111 [2021-03] Anion-reactive Surfactants in Wastewater – Photometric Determination (Rapid Test)

Application/Purpose

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

Scope of Application

Wastewater resulting from the industrial production of beer and other foods

Principle

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