Method for the continuous, at least partial, removal of foreign substances, in particular
corrosion inhibitors and / or pharmaceuticals, from a fluid, in particular
wastewater, by means of a cleaning device (100), wherein the cleaning device (100) comprises an inlet (20) for a fluid to be cleaned and an outlet (23) for the fluid cleaned by the cleaning device (100), comprising the steps - Specifying (S1) at least one indicator
foreign substance for a group of foreign substances of the same purpose, wherein the group comprises at least the indicator
foreign substance and at least one further
foreign substance, in particular several further foreign substances, - Determining (S2) a neutralizing medium from a number of provided neutralizing media for the group of foreign substances, - Taking (S3) a first sample from the fluid in the inlet (20) before the cleaning device (100) and taking a second sample in the outlet (23) of the cleaning device (100), - Analyzing (S4) the samples taken, at least by means of UV / VIS
spectroscopy, wherein the analysis by means of UV / VIS
spectroscopy comprises the following steps: • Excitation (S4a) of the respective sample with light, in particular with light from a
laser, a
xenon lamp or a
deuterium lamp, with at least one
excitation wavelength, • Recording (S4b) at least one absorption spectrum of the light transmitted through the sample and / or at least one
fluorescence spectrum of re-emitted light from the respective sample using a detection device (62), - Determining (S5) the concentration of the indicator foreign substance in the analyzed samples based on at least one of the recorded spectra, - Comparing (S6) the determined concentrations of the indicator foreign substance in the influent and
effluent (20, 23) and providing a comparison result, - Adding (S7) a quantity of the neutralizing medium according to the provided comparison result to the fluid in the inlet (20) to at least partially neutralize the group of foreign substances with the lead foreign substance.
