Online monitoring of polysaccharide solution concentration by electromagnetic field, electrical conductivity and spectrophotometry measurements

Abstract Online control of industrial processes by lean principle increases productivity and yields higher product quality. Polysaccharides are dissolved in liquids, such as water, many products, like paints, cosmetics culinary products. In these it is important to viscosity or create thixotropy yield stress for functionality. Electromagnetic field electrical conductivity techniques were applied a meter polysaccharide dissolution process online up 0.5 wt% concentration, the resultant solution was also further tested UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The electromagnetic technique measures changes local permittivity liquid interest this research find out whether correlate concentration during polymer polysaccharide. results that obtained showed good consistency, suggesting feasibility monitoring suspension concentration. Moreover, gives advantage instant improved control. Graphic abstract
