    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring an ion component of an aqueous sample using a photoreactive species, including: generating a metal organic framework by combining, in a reactive solution, at least one organic linker and at least one metal; impregnating the metal organic framework with the photoreactive species; introducing the impregnated metal organic framework into an aqueous sample; and measuring an analyte component concentration of the aqueous sample, wherein the measuring comprises measuring a change in the aqueous sample, wherein the change is responsive to the analyte component dissolving at least one of: the at least one organic linker and the at least one metal, and releasing the photoreactive species. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring sulfate in an aqueous sample, including: introducing an aqueous sample containing an amount of sulfate to a barium dye complex, thereby creating a solution; adding a clarifying agent to the solution, thereby causing the solution to be clarified; and measuring the amount of sulfate in the aqueous sample by measuring a change in color of the solution, the change in color caused by the barium dye complex mixing with the sulfate. Other aspects are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Various turbidimeters are described that can detect light directly in a substantially circular, e.g., encompassing, manner such that an increased amount of scattered light from a sample vial may be detected by a light detector, e.g., a photodiode or photodiode array. In an embodiment, a substantially circular photodiode array is provided to directly detect scattered light in an arc about the sample vial. In other embodiments, light guides are provided in an arc element that guides light to a detector or detectors. Other aspects are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring velocity and depth of fluid flow in a channel, including: transmitting, using a transmitter, directed energy comprising a single energy beam slant-wise toward a surface of a fluid in a fluid channel producing a plurality of reflections, wherein the transmitting comprises modulating a frequency associated with the single energy beam; detecting, at a receiver, received signals from the plurality of reflections; and determining, based upon differences between parameters of the transmitted single energy beam and parameters of the received signals, the velocity of the fluid and the depth of the fluid. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
