The phosphate content in a surface water has direct c***equences for its ability to support the growth of certain organi***s. Since ever increasing quantities of phosphates are being fed through domestic waste waters into rivers and lakes, these waters h***e a tendency towa*** eutrophication. Exact data about the phosphate content are important for boiler water and feed water. Precise dosing of phosphates in these waters can inhibit formation of boiler scale. Pyro-, meta- and polyphosphates are not determined with VISOCOLOR® test kits. The determination of total phosphate requires a decomposition prior to the test. |
