Titration Equipment Preparation9.1 TitratorPrepare the titrator by filling the titrator res-ervoir with lead titrant (8.1). Follow the manufacturers pro-cedure for filling the buret. Perform titrations in monotonictitra

34、tion mode, using either 25-L or 50-L titrant additionincrements. Use a 10 mV/min drift condition or 20-s wait timebetween additions (whichever is achieved first).9.2 Electrode PreparationProper care of the leadselec-tive electrode is essential for obtaining highquality titrationcurves. Preparation o

35、f the lead electrode should be performedas specified by the manufacturer. A lead electrode utilizing asolid crystal sensor requires polishing when performancedeteriorates. The voltage range for a 10 ppm sulfate in ethanoltitration should span at least 50 mV and produce an acceptablyshaped titration

36、curve (see Fig. 1). If this level of electrodeperformance is not met, this indicates a need for lead electrodepolishing. The lead electrode normally comes supplied with apolishing grit and a cloth rectangle. The polishing grit mediumis placed on the cloth, wet with ethanol or water, moved overthe su

37、rface of the cloth for a minute, rinsed with water toremove the polishing medium, and wiped dry with a tissue. Theelectrode is then soaked in lead titrant (8.1) for 2 min tore-equilibrate the electrode surface. The double junction refer-ence electrode is filled with 1 M lithium chloride in absolutee

Standardization10.1 Measure the exact concentration of the lead nitratetitrant by titration of the sulfate standard (8.2).10.1.1 Transfer 1.00 mL of the 0.01 M aqueous sulfatestandard solution (8.2) into a 150-mL beaker. Record thisvolume as V.10.1.2 Add approxi

39、mately 100 mL of denatured ethanol(7.4) and 1 mL of 0.1 M perchloric acid (8.6).10.1.3 Prepare the autotitrator for operation, immerse theelectrodes in the titration solution, initiate stirring, and titrate tothe potentiometric endpoint with lead titrant. Titration shouldrequire approximately 4.0-mL

40、 of lead solution to reach theendpoint. Record this volume as T.10.2 Titrate a blank denatured ethanol sample in the samemanner without addition of sulfate standard. Record thisvolume as Tb.10.3 Calculate the concentration of the lead nitrate titrant asshown in Eq 4. The standardization should be re

Procedure11.1 Sample AnalysisObtain an ethanol sample in accor-dance with Practice D4057 or Practice D4177. The samplesho

43、uld be well mixed to ensure homogeneity. A representativeportion shall be taken for analysis. Samples should be collectedin containers with closures that seal well to prevent evaporationof ethanol. Samples containers should not contain any residualsulfate. If containers have been cleaned and rinsed

44、with water,they must be rinsed with Type III water and dried prior to use.11.2 Blank Measurement:11.2.1 Determine the blank value by analysis of a denaturedethanol sample used for making standards (100 g) using theprocedure described in 11.3. An aliquot of aqueous sulfateblank solution (8.5) is adde

45、d to all samples as part of the blank.This is necessary to provide a stable blank value.11.2.2 The average of three blank measurements is recordedas Vbfor use in the calculation of sulfate content of samples.11.3 Sample Measurement:11.3.1 Accurately weigh an ethanol sample or blank (ap-proximately 1

46、00 g) into a 150-mL beaker, and record theweight as G.11.3.2 Carefully pipet 0.200 mL of aqueous sulfate blanksolution (8.5) into the beaker containing the ethanol sample.11.3.3 Add 1 mL of 0.1 M perchloric acid (8.6). The sampleshould be slightly acidic to pH paper before titrating, pHshould be in

47、the range of 3 to 5. The pH can be checked bydipping a glass stirring rod into the sample and testing a dropleton the rod with a moistened pH test strip. If 1 mL of 0.1 Mperchloric acid is insufficient to achieve a pH in the range of 3to 5, add an additional millilitre of acid and recheck the pH.11.

48、3.4 To prepare the autotitrator for operation, immerse theelectrodes in the titration solution, initiate stirring and titrate tothe potentiometric endpoint with lead titrant. Record thevolume of titrant used as V.11.3.5 Duplicate determinations should agree to within therepeatability limits in Secti

49、on 15 and Table 2. If not, additionaltitrations should be performed until agreement is achieved.11.3.6 If satisfactory titration curves are not obtained, thelead electrode should be polished (9.2).
