Abstract :
This abstract describes the operation of an automated electrochemical cell that utilizes an ion selective electrode (ISE) as the detector. The instrument can rapidly and automatically generate on-line estimates of the concentration of an ion, thus providing chemical information useful for controlling a chemical process. A typical application might be the monitoring of a sewage treatment plant to facilitate control of the concentration of a contaminant in discharged water.
