Measuring Metal Ions in Industry Process Streams

AI Thread Summary
Plants involved in electrochemical processes, such as metal plating and water treatment facilities, often need to measure metal ions like copper, nickel, and iron in their process streams. These ions can act as impurities or poisons, impacting overall efficiency and product quality. Common measurement methods include both offline concentration analysis and online monitoring systems, with the latter being preferred for real-time data. The choice of method typically depends on the specific requirements of the plant and the nature of the process. Accurate measurement of metal ions is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and compliance with environmental regulations.

In Industry, what kind of plants would need to measure metal ions in their process streams. Ions that interest me are copper, nickle, iron etc. I've been trying to find some information, but only found some limited information on nickle but it did not include the information that I want, what the plant processes. If you could send me anything that could really help me.

Just about any type of electrochemical process. Also, any process where metal ions are considered a poison or impurity (eg. water treatment plant).
 
In these processes, how would one measure the concentration of these ions, also which method would be common in most plants, offline concentration or online measurements?
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
