Abstract
The present invention comprises a simple multi-purpose on-line system for monitoring the concentration and/or the total amount of an organic analyte species or inorganic analyte species in an aqueous solution. The on-line detection system comprises a detection column and a sensor mounted around the detection column. The sensor consists of an electromagnetic radiation source (typically a light source) and an appropriate detector for the electromagnetic radiation. The response from the detector drives an electric circuit, which provides a signal to a recorder as well as a means to trip an alarm system and/or a process system.
