Summary on Grant Application Form |

This project deals with the integrated use of pH and appropriate ion selective electrode (ISE) measurements as a basis for improved control of both continuous and batchwise neutralisation processes. For the case of strong acid/strong base reagent systems previous work has already shown the advantages and potential of the approach. This project aims to widen its field of applicability to include two further cases of practical importance: i) those involving weak (buffering) reagents and ii) those involving lime slurry as an alkaline treatment stream. With weak reagents, cases where components and their buffering capacity )pK) are either known or unknown will be investigated. Lime slurry addition poses the further problem of coping with the dynamics of solids dissolution and control based on combined use of pH and calcium ISE probes will be investigated. Implicit will be a dynamic process model incorporating the lime solution kinetics which will themselves be elucidated using the calcium ISE.
