Colorimetry
Colorimetry is an important analytical method used in various fields, including surface technology. This technique is based on measuring the color intensity of a solution produced by a chemical reaction. The color is created due to absorption or emission processes of light by molecules or ions in the solution.
In surface technology, colorimetry is often used to determine the concentration of certain substances in solutions that are relevant for various processes. For example, colorimetry can be used to measure the concentration of coating chemicals or impurities in cleaning solutions. This information is crucial for monitoring and controlling processes to ensure that the desired properties of the treated surfaces are achieved.
Colorimetry offers the advantage of a quick and easy method of analysis that can often be performed without the need for complex instrumentation. By accurately measuring color intensity, precise statements can be made about the concentration of substances, making it a valuable tool in surface technology.
