14、time, continuous values for auto-matic control and monitoring purposes.6. Interferences6.1 Pressure and temperature variations may force processsample into the liquid junction of non-flowing junction refer-ence electrodes and cause changes in the junction potential.Estimates of 0.2 to 0.5 pH errors

15、from this source have beencited (1).36.2 Liquid junction potentials at the reference electrode canvary depending on the composition of the sample. Strong acids,bases and extremely high and low ionic strength samplesdevelop liquid junction potentials different from typical cali-brating buffer solutio

16、ns (2). Where these conditions exist, themost stable junction potential is obtained using a flowingjunction reference electrodeone that requires refilling withelectrolyte solution. However, providing positive flow ofelectrolyte through the reference junction places limitations onthe sample pressure

17、that can be tolerated. Follow manufactur-ers recommendations.6.3 pH reference electrodes must not be allowed to dry.Electrolyte salts can crystallize in the liquid junction andproduce a high liquid junction impedance. Subsequent pHmeasurements could be noisy, drifting or off-scale. When pHsensors ar

18、e not in use, they should be typically stored wet permanufacturers instructions.6.4 There are several temperature effects on pH measure-ment. The pH electrode signal is described by the Nernstequation with its output proportional to the absolute tempera-ture times the pH deviation from the isopotent

19、ial pointusually 7 pH for glass electrodes. Compensation for this effectmay be accomplished automatically with a temperature sensorintegral to the combination pH probe and an algorithm in theinstrument. Alternatively, some instruments may be set manu-ally for a fixed temperature when a temperature s

20、ignal is notavailable. Errors caused by deviations from the manual settingmay be calculated from the following (for a conventional glasselectrode system with 7 pH isopotential point).Glass Electrode pH error 5pH 2 7! 3 T 2 Tf!Tf1273(1)where:pH = uncorrected process pH,T = process temperature (C), an

21、dTf = temperature setting of fixed compensation (C).Other types of electrodes, (antimony, ISFET) have differentisopotential points and therefore different corrections. Consultthe manufacturer.6.5 Solution temperature effects may be caused by changesin the sample, such as ionization of constituents,

22、off-gassing,and precipitation, which occur with changes in temperature.These are generally small for many samples over moderatetemperature ranges. In waste streams with variation incomposition, such effects are usually not predictable. However,for samples with uniform or predictable composition with

23、temperature changes 5C, one may determine the effect forthe samples being measured and make the correction on allmeasurements. The pH to be reported is referenced to 25Cunless another temperature is specified. Some process instru-ments have built-in solution temperature compensation whichallows entr

24、y of a user-defined linear temperature coefficientinto instrument memory for on-line correction of this effect.The temperature of the solution measured for pH should bemonitored and recorded since this information may be criticalto understanding the base state of the solution.NOTE 1For regulatory mo

25、nitoring, correction for solution temperatureeffects should not be done without consulting the governing authority.6.6 A small temperature influence can occur due to differ-ences in the composition of measuring and reference half-cells.This is not compensated by any instrumentation. For thisreason i

26、t is advisable to calibrate as near the measuringtemperature as possible.6.7 Coating of the measuring electrode may produce a slowor erroneous response since the sensing surface is in contactwith the coating layer rather than the bulk sample. Flat surfaceelectrodes and high sample flow velocity have

27、 been found toprovide some self-cleaning effects. Cleaning may be accom-plished manually using solvents, acids, detergents, etc. Clean-ing may be automated by a number of approaches. SeeAppendix X1.6.8 Abrasion of measuring electrode surfaces from particlesin the sample can shorten sensor life. Wher

28、e abrasive particlesare present, the flow velocity past the electrode surface shouldbe controlled low enough to minimize abrasion and providesatisfactory electrode life yet high enough to prevent particlesfrom accumulating into a coating as in 6.7.6.9 High pH conditions can produce an alkaline error

29、 as theglass pH sensor responds to sodium or other small cations inaddition to hydrogen. This type of error is greater at highertemperatures. The result is always a negative error in the rangeof 0 to -1 pH depending on the pH, temperature, sodiumconcentration and sensor glass formulation. Some manuf

30、actur-ers have characterized the alkaline or sodium error sufficientlyto closely estimate those errors. Some process ISFET elec-trodes do not experience these errors.6.10 While fluorides in the sample do not interfere with themeasurement, if present at pH below 5, they attack silica,greatly shorteni

However, the antimony electrode canwithstand hy

Performance is veryapplication-dependent and should be carefully evaluated.3The boldface numbers given in parentheses refer to a list of references at th

38、asurements on samples with conductivity less than100 S/cm are vulnerable to streaming potentials, large junc-tion potentials and other difficulties and are beyond the scopeof this method. Use Test Method D5128.7. Apparatus7.1 Process Instrument:7.1.1 The measuring system shall use a high impedancepr

39、eamplifier, preferably located near the electrode but may becontained within the instrument, capable of measuring the highimpedance pH sensor voltage. When located near the electrode,the preamplifier shall be sealed against moisture intrusion. Aglass pH electrode measuring circuit must have at least

40、 105Megohm input impedance to preserve the signal. Some mea-suring circuits use a differential input and solution groundwhich can tolerate a higher reference junction impedance andreduce liquid junction potential errors.7.1.2 The instrument shall provide indication, alarms,relays, isolated analog ou

41、tputs and digital outputs as needed forthe application. Where output signal isolation from the mea-surement circuit is not provided within the instrument, thesignal must pass through an external signal isolator beforeconnection to a grounded computer, data acquisition or controlsystem. This will pre

Thedifferent types of measuring electrodes and reference elec-trodes below are options: only one measuring electrode

It shall have arepeatable response as given in Test Method D1293. It shallhave pH, temperature and pressure ratings suitable for theprocess condition

It shall be conditioned in the processsample for at least 30 minutes or as recommended by themanufacturer before accurate readings can be taken.7.2.2 ISFET MeasuringThe ISFET measuring electrodealong with its unique measuring circuit shall give responseequivalent to a glass electrode measuring sy

(ISFETelectrodes typically require an adapter circuit to be compatiblewith glass electrode measuring instruments.)7.2.3 Antimony MeasuringThe antimony measuring elec-trode shall be pure polished antimony metal that has beenconditioned by soaking in water to produce an oxide layer,according to

47、manufacturers instructions.7.2.4 Non-Flowing Liquid Junction Reference:7.2.4.1 The non-flowing reference electrode shall contain anelectrode half-cell similar to the glass measuring electrode, ifused, to cancel the temperature effects of the half-cells. It shallcontain sufficient electrolyte with ge

The only opening of the electrode is its interface withthe process through its

Some non-flowing referenceelectrodes are refillable.7.2.4.2 For fouling processes containing sulfides, or otherspecies that could react with the electrolyte, a second or doubleliquid junction shall be provided as a barrier to contaminationor dilution of the inner electrolyte. A long path between theliquid junction and the inner half-cell is also helpful. Someelectrod
