Background
An accurate pH test reflects the health of the water, and in an ambient setting, a pH sensor helps measure whether the water is alkaline or acidic. Altered pH readings can be an early indicator of increased pollution and declining water quality. JXCT's ph sensor can be a good help to understand the pH of water quality.
How do pH sensors work?
pH sensors monitor pH levels by measuring the activity of hydrogen ions. The activity is compared to pure water (a neutral solution), using a pH scale of 0 to 14 to determine acidity or alkalinity. The pH (acidic or basic) of a solution is an important indicator of water quality. Water with more free hydrogen is acidic, while water with more free hydroxide ions is alkaline. A pH scale of 0 to 14 indicates whether the water is acidic or alkaline, with pure water at 7. When the pH is below 7, the water becomes more acidic. However, if the number rises above 7, it becomes more alkaline or alkaline. pH is affected by chemicals in the water, so pH is an important indicator of chemical changes in the water.
Where are the different pH sensors
pH sensors are used in many industries including chemicals, water and wastewater, and agriculture and forestry. The sensor used depends on the application. pH sensors are often used in urban environments with hydrothermal activity, meaning that in environments associated with activities involving hot water, pH values can indicate changes in volcanic disturbances.
How Monitoring pH Can Help Protect Water Quality
Using pH sensors in water quality management helps to understand water quality, detect changes and react quickly. When pH issues are noticed, we can identify what is causing them. From manufacturing purposes to farming, a good monitoring system can yield many benefits such as:
Reduce water waste
Energy saving
Meeting Sustainability Requirements
maintain a healthy environment
Reduce the use of hazardous chemicals
In everyday life, poor water quality can lead to serious health problems. Therefore, pH sensors play a vital role in water quality and water treatment. Water can be dangerous when the pH of a body of water becomes too high or too low.Water quality PH sensors are widely used in continuous monitoring of pH and temperature in solutions such as thermal power, chemical fertilizers, metallurgy, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, food and tap water.
