, is added to the water in high pressure boilers to reduce corrosion
by acting as an oxygen scavenger.
APPLICATION: Water and boiler water, industrial waste water.
RANGE: 0.00–1.00 ppm Hydrazine
MDL: 0.01 ppm
METHOD: p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde reacts with hydrazine
under acidic conditions to form a yellow color in
proportion to the amount of hydrazine present.
SAMPLE HANDLING
& PRESERVATION:
Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after
collection due to the ease with which hydrazine becomes
oxidized. Acidifi cation of the sample may increase the
time between collection and analysis.
INTERFERENCES: The substances normally present in water do not
interfere with the test, with the exception of strong
oxidizing agents.
