MEASUREMENT OF TREATMENT AGENT IN A PROCESS STREAM USING ULTRAVIOLET-VISIBLE (UV-VIS) SPECTROSCOPY, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES

摘要

The present application provides a method of detecting an amount of a treatment agent, such as a flocculating agent, in a process stream comprising the step of measuring at least one absorption property of a sample obtained from the process stream at a wavelength of less than about 250 nm. Processes and systems for monitoring and regulating addition of treatment agents to process streams are also provided.
