Chloride (Cl-) is a common type of ion dissolved in water and can be found naturally in water supplies. Chloride ions often enter water as a result of dissolution of mineral rocks, seawater intrusion, industrial activities or agricultural drainage. Accurate monitoring of the amount of chloride is important for maintaining drinking water quality and preventing environmental pollution.
Determination of chloride levels:
Chloride, which is found in various waters, especially in wastewater, is one of the inorganic anions. The amount of chloride is higher in wastewater. The amount of chloride may increase with industrial processes or with the leakage of salt water into the sewage system. Excess chloride in drinking water causes a bitter taste.
The presence of high chloride can damage plants as well as metallic pipes and water systems. Chloride measurement can provide information about the salinity of different water sources. It is an important parameter for brackish water detection and indicates the degree of desalination.
Low amounts of chloride are not harmful to human health. However, water used in agricultural activities, especially for irrigating salt-sensitive crops, should normally have chloride and total salinity concentrations at or below drinking water standards.
The methods used to measure the concentration of chloride in water differ in terms of precision and intended use. Here are the most common methods:
Monitoring the chloride level is critical not only to assess the quality of drinking water, but also to protect the overall ecological health of water resources. High chloride concentrations are observed especially in areas of seawater mixing or in areas where industrial wastes are leaking.
