Abstract:
The use of the sonoluminescence spectroscopy for the determination of main components in concentrated aqueous solution of alkali metal halides is examined. In concentrated RCl solutions (R = Li, Na, K; C = 100-600 g · dm-3) the sonoluminescence intensity is inversely proportional to ultrasound frequency in the range from 2 Hz up to 5 Hz. In the CsCl case the inverse proportionality is disturbed at ultrasound frequencies higher than 3 MHz. This is the limiting value for the accurate analysis of the concentrated solutions of cesium chloride. The increase of initiating ultrasound frequency leads to a decrease of the main component determination in highly concentrated (more than 300 g ċ dm-3) natural and artificial solutions. Nevertheless, the metrological characteristics of the results of the main substance determination in these solutions improve. The routines of express determination of the main substance in concentrated saline solutions were developed.
