Analysis of salt - Salt, brine, saline

The analysis of salt and minerals is a special focus in the department of chemical and physical analytics. There are many experiences and special developments for the analysis of salt in the department due to the history of the K-UTEC GmbH.

We offer longs standing experience and outstanding competence in

• consulting in all questions around the analysis of salts and minerals
• the analysis of all kinds of saline samples
• the quantification of numerous substances, main components as well as traces
• method development and method validation
• microscopic examinations of the samples
• the calculation of the ion balances and the mineral composistions
• the assessment of the analytical results on the basis of the sample specifications
• the solution of complex analytical problems

Key aspects of competence in the analysis of salt are:

• salts and minerals
• brines and leachates
• concentrated, highly saline solutions

Special methods for sample preparation and analysis free of interferences have been developed for these complex matrices:

• precise analysis of main components with adjusted, wet chemical methods
• reliable routine trace analysis, e.g. with ICP-AES and AAS
• specialties like voltammetry
• mineralogical examinations with uplight and petrographic microscope

These methods are verified and enhanced permanently.
