Abstract
An apparatus for determining the proportion of water within a mixture of water and a water-miscible solvent includes means for increasing the electrical conductivity of the mixture in proportion to the amount of water contained therein. In a particular embodiment this is done by passing a component stream of the sample through a replenishable bed of a salt, which salt is easily soluble in water but is relatively insoluble in the solvent. The dissolving of the salt introduces an appreciable number of conductive ions into the mixture, thereby enhancing its overall conductivity. A conventional detecting scheme measures the enhanced conductivity of the mixture, and means is provided for correlating this conductivity measurement to the proportion of water within the mixture.
