1、Designation: D 2959 95 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forEthylene Oxide Content of Polyethoxylated NonionicSurfactants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2959; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of ethyleneoxide in polyethoxylated nonionic surfactants. It

3、 can also beused for compounds containing propylene oxide or any com-pounds (glycols and glycol and polyglycol ethers and esters)which form unstable 1,2-diiodides on reaction with hydriodicacid.NOTE 1Compounds in which the oxyalkylene group is connected to anitrogen cannot be entirely decomposed. Th

4、is can be used to determine thepercent of an ethoxylated surfactant in a mixture, if the ethylene oxidecontent of the ethoxylated surfactant is known.NOTE 2This method reports results as percent ethylene oxide. If thismethod is applied to unknown compounds or compositions, the analystshould be aware

5、 of the possible presence of material other than ethyleneoxide.NOTE 3For use on built syndet compositions the organic activeingredient must be isolated in accordance with Test Method D 2358.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It i

6、s theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Summary of Test Method3.1 By cleaving nonionic surfactants containing polyethyl-ene oxide chains with hydriodic acid, the unstable 1,2-diio

8、doethane is formed. This vicinal diiodide decomposes toform ethylene and iodine.3.2 The percent ethylene oxide is determined by measuringthe amount of free iodine formed, since one mole of iodine isformed for each mole of ethylene oxide in the polyoxyalkylenechain. The free iodine is titrated with a

Lubricatethe ground-glass joints with a very thin film of lubricant. Thedual apparatus is designed to permit a sample a

23、nd a blank to berun simultaneously; however, it should not be necessary tomake more than two blank determinations each day.6.2 Accurately weigh a sample of such size that 4 to 5 meqof iodine will be liberated (about 0.15 g of a nonionicsurfactant that contains 60 % ethylene oxide) into a 100-mLround

24、 bottom flask. Pipet exactly 5.0 mL of HI into the flask,and add a glass bead. Connect the vertical condenser to theflask using a thin seal of lubricant at the outer edge.

Precision and Bias8.1 The following criteria should be used for judging theacceptability of results (Note 5):8.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The standard devia-tion of results obtained by the same analyst was estimated to be0.47 % absolute at 9 df.

32、 Two such values should be consideredsuspect (95 % confidence level) if they differ by more than1.5 % absolute.8.1.2 Reproducibility (Multilaboratory)6The standard de-viation of results (each the average of duplicate determina-tions), obtained by analysts in different laboratories, has beenestimated

33、 to be 1.81 % absolute at 7 df. Two such valuesshould be considered suspect (95 % confidence level) if theydiffer by more than 6.0 % absolute.NOTE 5The precision estimates are based on an interlaboratory studyon Igepal CO 630 by nine laboratories. However, this procedure as writtencalls for the use

34、of 100-mL reaction flasks (instead of 50-mL flasks whichwere used in the interlaboratory study). Data obtained by Continental OilCo. indicate an improvement in precision when the larger flask is used.9.
