Iron in boiler feed water – Straightforward, cost-efficient determination by voltammetry (DHN method)
The iron concentration in boiler feed water has to be monitored to ensure reliable and safe operation of the water-steam circuit. Various guidelines set limits for the maximum iron content.
The concentration of total iron in boiler feed water can be determined with high sensitivity using adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) using 2,3- dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) as complexing agent. Voltammetry is a viable, less sophisticated alternative to atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or inductive couple plasma (ICP) for the determination of iron with only a moderate investment in hardware required and low running costs.
