Quantification of polymer concentration in water using UV-Vis spectroscopy
The goal of this study was to develop a method that uses UV-Vis spectroscopy for the determination of residual polymer concentration water and environmental samples. UV-Vis absorbance measurements are quick and simple and can be usefully applied in research and practice. Five different polymers exhibiting a wide range of polymer characteristics were tested in the UV range of 200–300 nm. The incremental increases in polymer concentrations corresponded to incremental increases in absorbance measurements, and a strong linear relationship was established between the polymer concentration and the absorbance values. The method was successfully used in the determination of polymer concentrations in water samples, as well as in centrate samples collected from a wastewater treatment plant.
We consider the cross area of the PP_ and PSV_wave window as the best window for joint PP_ and PSV_wave acquisition in VTI media. Within the effective window, the PP_ and PSV_wave's raypathes and phase angles at all reflection points are calculated, and the reflection (or transmission) coefficients' ratios of PSV- to PP_wave solved from Zoeppritz equations are defined as the controlling factor G. Then we use G values as the main controlling parameters of joint PP_ and PSV_wave acquisition design in VTI media, determine the best receiving window of detectors by analyzing G values, and derive the method of optimizing the receiving window for acquisition of multi_component converted seismic data in VTI media.
