SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Bromine is less volatile and more stable than chlorine. This makes bromine a good choice as a disinfectant in pools and a sanitizing agent in drinking water systems. Like chlorine excess amounts can produce hazards. A daily monitoring of bromine levels prevents adverse conditions and optimizes its proper function.
The Hanna Bromine Test Kit determines the bromine level in water with swift efficiency. The case is compact, which makes the kit available for onsite tests.
No chlorine or iodine can be present in the water sample for this test to work properly.
CHEMICAL REACTION
A colorimetric method measures the bromine concentration via a color cube. The sample is adjusted to a pH of approximately 6.3 pH with a phosphate buffer solution. The addition of DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenlenediamine) is immediately oxidized by bromine producing a reddish color. The color intensity of the solution determines the bromine concentration.
INSTRUCTIONS
READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
-
Add 7 drops of Reagent 1 and 3 drops of Reagent 2 to the color comparator cube and mix by carefully swirling the cube in tight circles.
-
Remove the cap from the plastic vessel. Rinse the plastic vessel and fill to the 25 mL mark with water sample.
-
Transfer the 25 mL water sample from the plastic vessel into the color comparator cube. Replace the cap and mix it by inverting several times.
-
Determine which color band best matches the solution in the vessel and record the results in mg/L (ppm) bromine.
