Abstract

Accurate determination of sodium chloride (NaCl) density in water is vital for assessing environmental impact, preventing soil salinization in agriculture, ensuring quality and consistency in industrial processes, facilitating medical treatments, and maintaining taste and preservation standards in the food and beverage industry. This paper introduces a novel microwave sensor design specifically tailored to accurately assess NaCl density in aqueous solutions. Starting with a standard solution of 10 g of salt dissolved in 100 ml of water, resulting in a molarity of approximately 1.71 M, five distinct samples are meticulously prepared. These samples cover a range of NaCl concentrations, with different ratios of salt solution and drinking water, including pure water, 10 ml of salt solution with 90 ml of water, 20 ml of salt solution with 80 ml of water, 30 ml of salt solution with 70 ml of water, and 40 ml of salt solution with 60 ml of water. Each sample undergoes analysis using the developed microwave sensor to determine its transmission coefficient. The magnitude of the transmission coefficient is closely tied to the density of the salt solution based on molarity. Through a detailed regression analysis, a strong quantitative relationship between the transmission coefficient and salt solution density is revealed. This correlation can be accurately represented by a third-order polynomial equation. This research is significant as it advances microwave sensor technology, allowing for accurate and efficient measurement of NaCl density in water.
