EXPRESS: Sonoluminescence Spectroscopy Application to Analysis of Industrially Used Highly Concentrated Aqueous Solutions of Alkali Metal Chlorides
The use of the sonoluminescence spectroscopy for the determination of main components in concentrated aqueous solution of alkali metal halides is examined. In concentrated RCl-solutions (R=Li, Na, K; C=100â600 gâ¢dmâ3) the sonoluminescence intensity is inversely proportional to ultrasound frequency in the range from 2 ÐHz up to 5 ÐHz. In the CsCl case the inverse proportionality is disturbed at ultrasound frequencies higher than 3 MHz. This is the limiting value for the accurate analysis of the concentrated solutions of cesium chloride. The increase of initiating ultrasound frequency leads to the decreasing of sensibility of the main component determination in highly concentrated (more than 300 gâdmâ3) natural and technological solutions. Nevertheless, the metrological characteristics of the results of the main substance determination in these solutions improve. The routines of express determination of the main substance in concentrated saline solutions were developed.
