Manganese, CHEMets Visual Kit, CHEMetrics
About this item
CHEMetrics’ Manganese water test kits employ the periodate chemistry that measures soluble manganese compounds but does not differentiate the various valence states.
- Analysis time: 1 minute
CHEMets® test kits utilize self-filling ampules and vacuum pulls the sample up from a snap cup into the ampule when the tip is broken off. After tilting the ampule several times to mix the sample and reagent and waiting for the color to develop (usually 2 minutes or less), the analyst quantifies the result using the provided cylindrical comparator (for concentrations ≤1ppm) or flat comparator (for concentrations ≥1ppm).
Surface and ground waters rarely contain more than 1 mg/L of soluble or suspended manganese. Manganese can act as an oxidizing or a reducing agent depending on its valence state. Manganese is also used in the manufacture of batteries and as an alloying metal in the manufacture of steel and aluminum. The National Secondary Drinking Water Standard for manganese is 0.05 mg/L, as higher concentrations will impart a foul taste to water and discolor laundry and porcelain surfaces.
: Kit comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests: Refill, Comparator, Activator Solution, 25 mL sample cup, and instructions.
