Summary

The general features and the performance of a three-stage distillation unit constructed from quartz for the continuous production of ultrapure water are described. Additionally, some methods for the determination and characterization of water purity, such as specific conductivity measurement, ultraviolet absorption spectrometry, fluorescence spectrometry, AAS, pH determination and GC are outlined. Finally, general precautions and recommendations for the production of ultrapure water by distillation techniques are given.

Zusammenfassung

Über die allgemeine Auslegung und die Betriebsweise einer Tridestilla-tionsapparatur aus Quarzglas für die kontinuierliche Darstellung hochreinen Wassers wurde berichtet. Weiterhin wurden einige Methoden zur Reinheitsbestimmung und Charakterisierung hochreinen Wassers, nämlich spezifische elektrische Leitfähigkeit, UV-Spektrometrie, Fluoreszenzspektrometrie, AAS, pH-Messung und GC diskutiert. Abschließend wurden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen und Empfehlungen gegeben, die bei der Darstellung hochreinen Wassers durch Destillationsverfahren berücksichtigt werden sollten.
