Instant Chemical Color Change Detector

This document summarizes an instrument that was developed to instantly identify chromatic (color) changes in chemical reactions. The instrument uses a Provotech color sensor and an embedded controller with software to sense, quantify, and report color parameters in real-time. It can detect color changes from instant to instant and report details like hue, saturation, and color name. The controller can also initiate or stop reactions based on detected color changes. Though simple and economical, the instrument provides useful color information during chemical reactions.

Colour change in a chemical is an indication of one of several causes. The reaction of the chemic al occurs
with the addition of another organic or inorganic substance. To monitor a reaction as it takes place, during
the transition of its molecular structural properties, colour change is a useful c riterion. In indus trial
manufacture of chemicals through their f ormation with many a combination and technique, to arrive at the
needed composition, c olour change is a very useful criterion. An instrument that can detec t ins tantly and
rec ord the changes in the colour of the reacting substance has been developed, which uses a Provotech
sensor. Using an embedded controller, and an exhaustive software to sense the colour, it can report the
parameters quantitatively from instant to instant; it is a very compact and simple one to us e in the
laboratories or in produc tion. The artificially intelligent program can sense and report colours by names in
addition to the more detailed quantitative colour space parameters. The controller could also initiate action to
time a reaction to occ ur, to stop a reaction at the intended level by the sensing of the changes in hue, s ay
from 640 nm to 650 nm. Though a simple and economical instrument, it provides useful colour value
information during the transition phase of any reacti on and reports the data to a computer in addi tion to a
display on LCD of the hue, saturation and colour name, such as reddish purple.
