HI97730 is an advanced portable photometer for the measurement of molybdenum in water. This meter offers a superior optical system that utilizes a reference detector and narrow band interference filters for extremely fast and repeatable measurements.
Molybdenum is commonly used in creating many types of high strength metals and steel alloys. It has the ability to withstand extremely high temperatures without significant expansion or softening and displays a high resistance to corrosion. Wastewater from industries that use molybdenum must be treated to remove high amounts before discharge into the public collection system.
The HI97730 uses an adaptation of the mercaptoacetic acid method to measure molybdenum concentrations of less than 40.0 mg/L (ppm). When the three powder packets of reagents are added in succession to a sample containing molybdenum, the sample will turn a yellow hue; the greater the concentration, the deeper the color. The associated color change is then colorimetrically analyzed according to the Beer-Lambert Law. This principle states that light is absorbed by a complementary color, and the emitted radiation is dependent upon concentration. For molybdenum determination, a narrow band interference filter at 420 nm allows only indigo light to be detected by the silicon photodetector and omits all other visible light emitted from the LED lamp. As the change in color of the reacted sample increases, absorbance of the specific wavelength of light also increases, while transmittance decreases.
