Rapid Determination of Copper Content in Condenser Cooling Water by X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

Abstract

In this paper, X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRFS) were tried to achieve rapid determination of copper content in condenser cooling water. Three mathematical models based on untransformed and ln-transformed data were discussed to select the final regression equation of new method. Numbers of cooling water samples from 2019 to 2020 were subjected to both AAS and XRFS. An acceptable correlation coefficient with R2=0.8305 was achieved based on the two datasets, which shows reliability and accuracy in rapid determination of copper content in condenser cooling water.
