Abstract
Contaminants in water were studied using ultraviolet absorption with light emitting diode and deuterium lamp sources, and a thresholding detector. The absorption spectra of potassium hydrogen pthalate, clothianidin, tryptophan, thiamethoxam, uric acid and metaldehyde were obtained in the range 200-360 nm. Only metaldehyde was not suitable for detection in this range. For the other contaminants, and mixtures of pairs of compounds, the transmitted signal could be approximately described with a simple spectral model of the source-absorption-detector system. Combined measurements at two wavelengths could allow relative concentrations in certain mixtures to be determined, and real-time absorption measurements were demonstrated in a flume.
