4 DEFINITION &ABBREVIATIONS
The turbidity is based on a measurement of the light scattering, the characteristics (Tyndal effect)
of the particulate matter in the sample. Determination of the turbidity is accomplished by
measuring the intensity of scattered light at 90 degree to the incident beam is called Nephelometry
while the measurement of intensity of light passing through the solution is called turbiditymetry.

ZINC ANALYSIS IN COOLING WATER (By Atomic absorption spectrophotometer)

1 PRINCIPLE:-
Zeeman effect:- When a magnetic field of an appropriate intensity is applied to the atomic vapour
produced in the automizer,the primary line split in to three component, ii(dm=0) and $+- (dm=+-
1) by the zeeman effect. These components 2nd and $+- are linearly polarized light beams parallel
with and vertical to the magnetic field respectively. In the normal zeeman effect, the wave length
of 2nd lines does not shift Therefore, only 2nd lines matches the emission line from the hollow
cathode lamp and the $+- lines are shifted from the emission line.That is :-
i) The resonance emission line (p-ii) of the polarized component is absorbed by the 2nd line of the
atomic vapour.
ii) Since the $+- lines have been shifted, the sensitivity of atomic absorption for the resonance
emission line (p+-) is decreased.
2 SCOPE:-
Cooling water and other clear water samples.

1 PURPOSE
The gas chromatography is the most useful technique for the separation and estimation of different
components of the gas mixture. The component of the gas mixture are distributed between two
phases ( stationary and mobile phase) depending upon the partition coefficient of the various
components. The mobile phase which passes through the stationary phase, elutes the separated
components one by one. The components in the mobile phase are detected by a detector block and
recorded by a recorder in terms of the variables of the components.

Generally, we are using Argon and Hydrogen as carrier gases.
The carrier gas flow 46 ml / minutes is adjusted with the help of
a flow meter.
Before the gas sample enters in the absorption columns, it passes
through a column packed with silica gel in order to absorb
moisture of the gas sample. Before injection the gas sample it is
ensured that the knob should be in the fill position. After one
minutes the sample is injected in the carrier gas stream. The
component of the gas mixture are then separated due to the
different absorptive behavior and the peaks are recorded by the
detector of a (MV) recorder after the specific retention time or
by data processor.
