Turbidity Measurement Measurement

As with other water quality measurements, the turbidity of the water should be at the specified standard values ​​for drinking and utility water. Turbidity is a very important parameter in drinking water and food, beverage and similar products. Turbidity is quite high in domestic and industrial wastewater and rainwater.

Turbidity is an undesirable feature. The turbidity of the water is caused by planktons, substances suspended in the water, visibly large deposits and other organic substances. Materials such as silica, clay, sand, iron, calcium carbonate, sulfur and manganese, organic substances and microscopic organisms cause turbidity.

For example, there is a high degree of turbidity in river waters. This is due to domestic or industrial wastewater entering the rivers or soils carried by rain. In addition, inorganic substances as well as organic substances which are mixed with water cause turbidity of the water. These substances primarily support the formation of bacteria in the water. The formation of bacteria is also a factor that increases the turbidity of water.

The clarity of water is absolutely essential in domestic consumption and in many production facilities. Food and similar establishments that produce various beverages use surface waters and perform fibration, precipitation or clarification processes to ensure that the water is of adequate clarity. First of all, the natural structure of water should be clear.

Changes in turbidity of river waters are measured and pollution is monitored. Turbidity negatively affects live life in rivers by blocking sunlight. If the turbidity of the water used in the houses is caused by iron and manganese, the color of the water turns to reddish brown and paints the surfaces in which it is located.

Turbidity affects the optical properties of water. The basic principle in turbidity measurements is based on the absorption and diffusion of light coming into the sample by turbidity in the water.

Different methods are used for the measurement of turbidity in accredited laboratories. For example, the comparison method or spectrophotometer is used in Nessler tubes. In this second method, the sample is measured at the appropriate wavelength.
