Abstract
Fluorescent tracers are tested to determine Residence Time Distributions of liquid phase in large industrial reactors. The 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid, which absorbs only in the UV area, is selected for aqueous liquid phase. I t is a highly soluble, non-bleaching, easy to supply, inexpensive and non-t oxic compound. It can be detected at very low concentrations by fluorescenc e spectrometry.
