Measuring electrode and its selection method: (1) 锑 measuring electrode Antimony is a semi-metal measuring electrode active surface of a pure antimony metal. The 锑 electrode is not as accurate as a glass or ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) electrode because it is non-linear with respect to pH and temperature response. Its standard temperature is limited to between 0 and 80 ° C and the standard pH range is between 2 and 11. Nowadays, ruthenium electrodes have been rarely used for pH measurement and are only used in the process of hydrofluoric acid-containing solutions. Because hydrofluoric acid solutions with a pH of ≤ 4 can quickly damage glass or ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) electrodes. (2) Glass measuring electrode The glass measuring electrode includes a special mechanism glass that emits an mv signal that varies with pH. Glass electrodes typically have good linearity over a pH range of 1 to 12. The use of a glass electrode in a solution having a pH ≥ 11 produces a sodium error because the glass electrode is generally more responsive to a solution having a higher sodium concentration than a solution having a lower hydrogen concentration. Other solutions, such as potassium, are also susceptible to this reaction. (3) Ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) measuring electrode Ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) measurement electrodes have been used as sensors since the 1970s, but have only recently been used in industrial measurements. Ion-sensitive field effect transistor pH measuring electrodes have many properties superior to glass or germanium electrodes. It has no sodium error compared to the glass electrode, and the acid error is much smaller in the low pH solution than the glass electrode. The oxidation/deformation reaction also does not interrupt the pH response of the ion sensitive field effect transistor. However, current designs still have drawbacks. It is more rapid than a glass electrode that is subjected to a high temperature corrosive solution, although it is more capable of maintaining measurement accuracy than a glass or germanium electrode. Hydrofluoric acid will also damage it very quickly. In addition, some chemical corrosion is actually more corrosive to ion-sensitive field-effect transistor electrodes than to glass or germanium electrodes.

Mineral processing automation - pH detection
The pH value is the most important parameter of the flotation operation, and whether the pH value is reasonable or not directly affects the process index. There are few reports on the automatic measurement and control of pH in China. It is very difficult to directly test the pH of the slurry. The adhesion of the slurry to the electrode and the influence of the bubble on the electrode make the detection and maintenance of the pH value of the slurry large, the stability is poor, and the detection accuracy is not high.
