Apparatus6.1 Titration VesselA vessel of approximately 300-mL capacity, such as a tall-form, lipless beaker, provided with a tight-fittingclosure to protect the reaction mixture from atmospheric moisture. The vessel shall also be fitted with a nitrogen inlet tube, a 10-mLburet, a st

17、irrer (preferably magnetic), and a port that may be opened momentarily for sample and solvent addition or removal ofelectrodes. It is convenient to provide a vacuum line leading to a 1-L trap bottle for drawing off the titrated solution. Pass thenitrogen through a drying tube containing anhydrous ca

Dilute commercially available stabilized Karl Fischerreagent (6 mg of wa

(See Note 3.)NOTE 3Improved, pyridine-free Karl Fischer reagents have been made available and are now highly recommended as a replacement for the previousreagents. See Section 14, under Test

25、 Method B, Automated Procedure.7.4 Titration Solvent, Anhydrous MethanolUnless the methanol is extremely dry it will require a large amount of dilute KarlFischer solution to react with its residual water. For this reason the solvent shall be further dried by adding undiluted Karl Fischerreagent (6 m

26、g of water/mL) to a bottle of methanol until a light red-brown color persists. Add methanol until the solution is a paleyellow. A 100-mL portion of the treated solvent requires 1 to 10 mL of dilute Karl Fischer reagent.8. Sampling8.1 It is essential to avoid changes in the water content of the mater

27、ial during sampling operations. Many polyols are quitehygroscopic and errors from this source are particularly significant in the determination of the small amount of water usuallypresent. Use almost-filled, tightly capped containers and limit as much as possible contact of the sample with air when

28、transferringthe sample to the titration vessel. Avoid intermediate sample containers, if possible. If several different analyses are to be performedon the same sample, determine the water first and do not open the sample prior to the actual analysis.9.

It may be necessary to refill the buret during the titration.9.1.2 Calculate the equivalence factor, F, in terms of milligrams of water per millilitre of reagent as follows:equivalency factor, F 5A/B (1)where:

31、A = water added, mg, andB = Karl Fischer reagent required, mL.10. Procedure10.1 Adjust the nitrogen valve so that dry nitrogen flows into the titration vessel at a slow rate (20 to 50 mL/min). Introduceapproximately 100 mL of titration solvent into the titration vessel, making sure that the electrod

32、es are covered with solvent. Adjustthe stirrer to give adequate mixing without splashing. Titrate the mixture with Karl Fischer reagent to the end point. (See Note 4.)10.2 To the prepared titration mixture, add the amount of sample as indicated in Table 1. Exercise care when the sample istransferred

Allow the solution to stir 1or 2 minutes until dissolution is complete.10.3 Titrate the mixture again with Karl Fischer reagent to the same end point previously employed. Record the amount ofreagent used to

34、titrate the water in the sample.NOTE 4The end point is that point in the titration when two small platinum electrodes upon which a potential of 20 to 50 mV has been impressedare depolarized by the addition of 0.05 mL of Karl Fischer reagent (equivalent to 2.5 to 3.0 mg water/mL) causing a change of

Apparatus6.1 Several commercial Karl Fischer autotitrators are available4 that employ volumetric or coulometric titrations and provideresults superior to those o

38、f the manual procedure, described above. titrations. These instruments consist of an automated buretassembly, a sealed titration vessel with appropriate electrodes and sensing circuitry, and a vacuum system for removal of solutionafter analysis. These automated systems provide several advantages and

39、 conveniences. Atmospheric moisture contamination canbe more closely controlled; calibration is simplified; and the preneutralization step is automatic. Titrations are rapid, and reagentconsumption is low. Autotitrators automatically calculate and display or print the water concentration.7. Reagents

Reagents4 Instruments similar to and including the fol

43、 A composite reagentcontains all the components required for a Karl Fischer titration in a single solution. Split implies separate solutions of the solventand titrant.8. Sampling8.1 Sampling is conveniently accomplished by use of a tared syringe. The material is drawn into the syringe, weighed, andd

The syringe is then reweighed to obtain the sample weight bydifference.8.1.1 Take note of the sample handling warnings inIt is essential to avoid changes in the water content of the material duringsampling operations.
