Metrohm has launched its Processlab atline analyser that uses Titrando titrator and tiamo software.
The analyser includes an industrial PC and I/O controller for sending information to process control systems and can be used at several different points in the manufacturing process.
For the reductive chemical deposition of nickel with phosphorus inclusions, sodium-hypophosphite is used as the reducing agent (reductant).
Processlab can be used to periodically determine the content of nickel, reductant and alkalinity.
All liquid-handling steps, such as taking sample aliquots, dosing of reagents, titration and cleaning are performed by pumps and burets controlled by Processlab.
A sample aliquot is transferred either to the vessel for alkalinity and nickel analysis or to the vessel for reductant content determination.
