METHOD FOR MEASURING SALTS IN LIQUID MEDIA, PREDOMINANTLY IN CRUDE OIL Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: analytical methods. SUBSTANCE: distinguishing features of method are as follows: additional measurement of, for instance n-1 elements such as calcium and magnesium forming chloride salts in oil, determination of amount of chlorine bound to these elements and concentration of salts formed by the aid of additionally measured elements, subtraction of resulting amount of chlorine from measured value of total chlorine concentration, determination of nth element linked to resulting chlorine concentration value and concentration of salts formed by nth element, and determination of searched concentration of salts in oil by summation of concentration of salts forming aqueous salt solution in oil. EFFECT: increased determination accuracy.
