Abstract

The paper deals with the application of spectrophotometric method and the sensor for determination of contaminating hydrocarbon impurity presence in waste water. The sensor is designed on the basis of modern element base. For measurement accuracy increase it has computer processing of analysis results for the absorption spectra of liquid (water) media in the ultraviolet wavelength range. The proposed sensor and computer program enabled the study of hydrocarbon impurity presence in the water that is an important factor for continuous monitoring of the environment. The absorption spectra of gasoline, diesel fuel, synthetic motor oil, fuel oil, natural oil are given as the most frequently present as impurities in the water, measured on an automated spectrophotometric sensor model. The use of modern small-sized elements makes it possible to design a small-sized highly sensitive sensor for express analysis of the water quality.


Keywords: spectrophotometry, absorption, transmission spectrum, ultraviolet radiation, photodetector, machine processing, monitor, water quality analysis, small-sized elements, water quality analysis sensor
