HI-38061 Phosphate test kit (low/wide range)
HI-38061
Phosphate is utilized in water treatment, heating systems and cooling systems as a corrosion inhibitor. It is also an essential nutrient in agriculture and horticulture, but must be monitored.
Phosphate test kit for irrigation water
The reaction between phosphate and the reagent causes a blue tint in the sample; adaptation of the ascorbic acid method.
Phosphates are widely introduced into the environment from such sources as agricultural fertilisers, cleaning and laundering products, boiler water conditioners and drinking water treatment aids. At high levels, phosphates stimulate the growth of photosynthetic organisms which may contribute to eutrophication of lakes, rivers and ponds. This makes it important to monitor and control phosphate discharges into the environment.
