Conventional colorimetric reagents for residual chlorine measurement have been widely used, but this study found that micro-particles could cause erroneous measurements, particularly in relation to inorganic and organic particles. The results suggest that filtration could be a potential solution to address the issue of erroneous measurements caused by micro particles.
Conventional methods using o-tolidine and N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine as colorimetric reagents have been extensively applied worldwide in residual chlorine measurement for water quality and environmental man-agement. Different types of interferences resulting in erroneous measurements while using colorimetry have been previously reported. In this study, we experimentally demonstrated micro-particles as interfering substances in selected inorganic (five metal oxidants) and organic (microalgae) particles. The results indicated erroneous measurements (viz. colour development) for three of the selected particles. These erroneous measurement levels were evaluated with reference to the chlorine concentration (in mg-Cl2/L, hereafter represented as mg/L) in relation to both representative colorimetric reagents in terms of the amount of particles and time variations. A novel viewpoint that filtration could be a possible solution to the erroneous measurement caused by such micro particles was proposed.
