CHEMetrics Peracetic Acid Test Kit

Because it’s a strong disinfectant, peracetic acid is an excellent sanitizing agent for the food and beverage industry. Peracetic acid is used to disinfect equipment, pasteurizers, tanks, pipelines, evaporators, fillers, and contact surfaces in food processing plants. The pulp and paper industry uses peracetic acid as a delignification and bleaching agent. Peracetic Acid is also coming into use as a biocide in wastewater applications.

The DPD Method

In the Peracetic Acid DPD test method, the sample is treated with an excess of potassium iodide. Peracetic Acid oxidizes iodide to iodine. The iodine then oxidizes the DPD (N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) to form a pink-colored species that is directly proportional to the peracetic acid concentration in the sample. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) peracetic acid. Various oxidizing agents such as halogens, ozone, and cupric ions will produce high test results. Hydrogen peroxide does not interfere if present at levels comparable to the peracetic acid levels.
