Table 1. Summary table of methods used in this study.
Method | Time lag to obtain results | Approx. sample measurement time | Approx. cost of equipment (USD in 2016) |
---|---|---|---|
VINDTA CT | Often long as samples are usually batch processed, often after the experiment | 10–60 min | $75,000 |
Spectrophotometric pHT | Shortly after real-time | 10–45 min | $3,000–10,000 |
Electrode pHNBS | Real-time | 1–3 min | $1,000 |
NDIR CO2 equilibrator | Shortly after real-time (corresponding to equilibration time) | 30–60 min | $4,000 |
