  • Patent number: 9857304
    Abstract: A measuring method of bromate ion concentration includes a first fluorescence intensity measuring process including a process of passing hydrochloric acid through an anion exchanger to elute bromate ions adsorbed to the anion exchanger into the hydrochloric acid and a process of measuring the fluorescence intensity of the hydrochloric acid passed through the anion exchanger, a second fluorescence intensity measuring process including a process of passing a hydrochloric acid solution containing a fluorescent substance whose fluorescence intensity changes due to coexistence of bromate ions through an anion exchanger to elute bromate ions adsorbed to the anion exchanger into the hydrochloric acid solution and a process of measuring the fluorescence intensity of the hydrochloric acid solution passed through the anion exchanger, and a calculation process determining the bromate ion concentration in the water sample by using the difference between the fluorescence intensities of the hydrochloric acid solution and t

  • Patent number: 9023654
    Abstract: A method for measuring bromate ions includes: an adding step of adding a fluorescent substance whose fluorescence intensity changes by the coexistence of bromate ions to sample water; a measuring step of measuring the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent substance; a difference calculating step of calculating a difference between the fluorescence intensity measured and a reference fluorescence intensity of reference sample water that contains no bromate ion; and a concentration calculating step of calculating bromate ion concentration from the calculated fluorescence intensity difference. The measuring step includes a step of measuring the fluorescence intensity at any one of a case where an excitation wavelength is 264 nm and an emission wavelength is 400 nm, a case where the excitation wavelength is 264 nm and the emission wavelength is 480 nm, and a case where the excitation wavelength is 300 nm and the emission wavelength is 400 nm.

  • Patent number: 8748189
    Abstract: A method for measuring bromate ion includes: a first step of introducing a test water sample to an anion exchanger that selectively absorbs bromate ions; a second step of introducing, to the anion exchanger, a hydrochloric acid solution containing a fluorescent substance, a fluorescence intensity of which is changed by the coexistence of bromate ions; a third step of measuring the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent substance contained in the hydrochloric acid solution discharged from the anion exchanger; and a fourth step of using a calibration curve, which shows a relationship between the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent substance and the concentration of the bromate ions, to calculate the concentration of the bromate ions that corresponds to the measured fluorescence intensity.
