To Share Information

Description:

This work will examine the effects of pH and oxidant type (chlorine [Cl2], oxygen [O2], hydrogen peroxide [H2O2], monochloramine [MCA], and potassium permanganate [KMnO4]) and concentration (mg/L) on the redox potential of buffered test water. Also, the effects of incrementing iron with each oxidant will be investigated. The consistency and uncertainty of redox potential electrodes will also be explored. Using these associations, this research aims to achieve concrete relationships between redox potential, pH, and dose for each oxidant.
