Abstract:
A method for detecting and controlling the amount of cationic species in a water stream in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure is carried out by adding a solution containing a pre-determined quantity of a fluorescent tracer to the sample of water stream to obtain a solution comprising a complex. The fluorescence emission spectra of the solution is measured for detecting the presence or absence of the cationic species based on the attenuation and shift of the emission peak in the range of 640 nm to 655 nm.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for detecting and controlling an amount of a cationic species in a water stream, comprising:\n a. drawing a water sample from said water stream; b. adding a pre-determined quantity of at least one fluorescent tracer to said water sample to form a solution comprising a complex; c. measuring a fluorescence emission spectra of said complex in a range of about 500 nm to about 700 nm when excited at about 420 nm and detecting the presence or absence of the cationic species in the complex of said solution based on an attenuation of an emission peak and a shift of the emission peak in a range of about 640 nm to about 655 nm; d. detecting the quantity of the cationic species in said water sample: e. adding an amount of an anionic neutralizer proportional to the quantity of the cationic species detected in step (d) to said water stream to obtain a water stream with the desired level of the cationic species; and f. optionally repeating the steps (a) to (e) for controlling the amount of the cationic species in said water stream below a threshold level.
