Bhagyashree P. Palnitkar, Anagha M. Panditrao . Estimation of Electrolytes in a Flame Using Photographic Images. International Conference on Electronics, Information and Communication Engineering. ICEICE, 1 (December 2011), 17-21.
The paper proposes a novel technique for the detection of alkali metals such as sodium; potassium etc. which is carried out by the digital photographic technique. Various samples of known concentration are prepared. The samples are aspired in a flame photometer. The flame images are captured using a consumer grade digital camera of known resolution. The images are captured and post processing techniques are developed using appropriate software to identify the change in color. Correlation between the color and the concentration is developed using various analytical techniques. The results are promising.
