摘要： A method of automatically controlling the addition rate of Fresh Oxygen Scavenger Product and Ultimate Oxygen Scavenger Product to a Boiler System is described and claimed. The method is based on the inherent fluorometric properties of certain Fresh Oxygen Scavenger Products and certain Ultimate Oxygen Scavengers in their reduced (unreacted) form and also, for the Ultimate Oxygen Scavengers, in their oxidized (reacted) form. It has also been found possible to enhance the fluorescent signal of certain Oxygen Scavengers by adding a borate buffer to the sample stream. By using the method of the instant claimed invention it is now possible to improve the overall control of Boiler Systems using certain Fresh Oxygen Scavenger Products and certain Ultimate Oxygen Scavenger Products.

摘要： A solid-state fluorometry instrument is provided. The instrument is based on either diode laser or light-emitting diode (LED) excitation sources that are capable of being used in a wide range of applications. The solid-state diode laser based fluorometer instrument monitors fluorescent tracers, particularly suitable for industrial water sample stream applications. Using the instrument, a solid-state diode laser or light-emitting diode (LED) is used as an excitation source to excite fluorescent tracer molecules. The fluorescence resulting from the diode laser excitation is imaged with a lens onto a silicon photodiode detector. An optical filter is placed between the sample cell and the photodiode detector to reject scattered laser light. The output from the photodiode is amplified to produce an output voltage proportional to the quantity of fluorescence striking the photodiode detector. Since fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of a fluorophore present in the sample stream, continuous monitoring of a voltage output may be performed which further allows real time measurement of concentration of a fluorescent tracer present in, for example, a sample stream.

Optionally, the fluorescent additive may be metered separately into the fluid system in direct proportion to the amount of industrial microbiocide added. Biocide compositions containing inert fluorescent additives are also disclosed. Preferably the fluid system is an industrial aqueous system. Preferred combinations of biocide and fluorescent additive are glutaraldehyde/1,5-naphthalene disulfonic acid, glutaraldehyde/1,3,6,8-pyrene tetrasulfonic acid, isothiazolone/1,5-naphthalene disulfonic acid, isothiazolone/1,3,6,8-pyrene tetrasulfonic acid, glutaraldehyde/fluorescein, alkyl-dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride quaternary/2-naphthalene sulfonic acid and 2-(decylthio)-ethanamine/2-naphthalene sulfonic acid.

摘要： A concentration-fluctuation responsive regulation of water treatment agent feed is achieved by adding an incipient to a sample whereby a concentration indicator is formed. Such a concentration indicator comprises a combination of the incipient reagent and a substantially nonfluorescent water treatment agent. The concentration indicator is then monitored by fluorescence analysis of the sample to determine at least one fluorescence emission value that can be correlated to an in-system concentration of the water treatment agent. The fluorescence emission value measured in then correlated to the in-system concentration of the water treatment agent.

摘要： A polymer having pendant fluorescent groups is prepared by (trans)amidation of a preformed polymer by reaction with an amine-containing organic fluorescent composition of the Formula III ##STR1## wherein one of R.sub.5 and R.sup.6 may be hydrogen, and wherein within at least one of R.sub.5 and R.sub.6, or within R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 taken together, is an organic fluorescent group wherein the organic fluorescent group includes a polynuclear aromatic ring system. A degree of (trans)amidation derivatization of the polymer is accomplished by heating the admixture of polymer and fluorescent agent for a sufficient period of time. A second amine-containing post-polymerization derivatization agent other than the organic fluorescent composition of Formula III is added to the admixture or to at least a portion of the reaction product of the (trans)amidation derivatization, and is heated therewith to accomplish a degree of sequential or simultaneous post-polymerization derivatization with the second amine-containing post-polymerization derivatization agent.
