Chloride is one of the major anions found in water and sewage. The presence of chlorides in
large amounts may be due to the natural process of water passing through salt formations
in the earth, or it may be evidence of the intrusion of seawater or pollution from industrial
processes or domestic wastes. The salt content of water aff ects the distribution of plant
and animal life in an aquatic system, based on the amount of salt they can tolerate.
APPLICATION:
Drinking, surface, and saline waters; domestic and industrial
wastewaters.
RANGE:
0.0–30.0 ppm Chloride
MDL:
0.5 ppm
METHOD:
Silver nitrate reacts with chloride to form turbid silver chloride
in proportion to the amount of chloride in the sample.
SAMPLE HANDLING &
PRESERVATION:
Collect samples in clean, chemically-resistant glass or plastic
containers. No preservative is needed if sample is to be stored.
INTERFERENCES:
Substances in amounts normally found in drinking water will
not interfere. Bromide, iodide, cyanide, sulfi de, thiosulfate,
sulfi de and orthophosphate will interfere.
