NEPHLOMETRY and TURBIDIMETRY

WONDERFUL DISCUSSION WITH SHRI JKP SIR,

NEPHELOMETRY ANDTURBIDIMETRY
INTRODUCTION• When electromagnetic radiation (light) strikes a particle in solution, some of the light will be absorbed ...

THEORY Scattered light may be measured by• Turbidimetry• Nephelometry• In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitte...




• Turbidometric measurements are made at 180o from the incident light beam.• In Nephelometry, the intensity of the scatte...


• The two techniques differs only in the manner of measuring the scattered radiation.



• Turbidity can be measured on most routine analysers by a spectrophotometer (absorbed light) • Reduced sensitivi...

• Light scattering is the physical phenomenon resulting from the interaction of light with a particles in solution. Dep...

Tyndall Effect• Scattering of light- by particles in a colloid or suspension.• the longer-wavelength light is more transm...


Light Scattering Phenomenon• The blue color of the sky and the red color of the sun at sunset result from scattering of l...

• NEPHELOMETRY• ↓ concentration, uniform scattering, intensity of scatted light proportional to conc. measured at 900 ...
