Data Analysis and Modelling of a Sodium Salt Matrix with Low-Cost Impedance Spectroscopy
This study investigates the use of impedance spectroscopy for fingerprinting aqueous salt solutions. By analysing solutions containing Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3), Sodium Sulphate (Na2SO4), and their mixtures, we explore how impedance data can potentially be used to distinguish between different salt compositions and concentrations. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this method for precise solution characterisation as well as highlighting the benefits of access to low-cost impedance analysers such as the one used for this investigation. More research and data is required to fully realise the potential of this approach.
