Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is based on the Karl Fischer (K

21、F) reaction for determining water. Iodine is consumed by water in a oneto one molar ratio in the presence of sulfur dioxide, organic base, and methanol or other alcohols. The coulometric methodgenerates iodine from iodide by anodic oxidation while the iodine is already present in the volumetric KF r

22、eagents.5. Significance and Use5.1 Blends of fuel ethanol and hydrocarbon have a limited solvency for water that is dependent upon temperature and the ratioof ethanol to hydrocarbon. Good handling practices are important during the blending, storage, and transportation of fuel to avoidwater contamin

23、ation. High concentrations of water can cause haze or phase separation in ethanol and hydrocarbon blends and leadto freezing problems at low temperatures. Water has also been associated with corrosion and filter plugging.6. Interferences6.1 A number of functional groups are known to interfere with K

24、arl Fischer titrations. In hydrocarbons, the most commoninterferences are mercaptans and sulfides. In ethanol, aldehydes and ketones are known to interfere with the Karl Fischer reagent.Some interferences can be mitigated with the use of applicable reagents. For fuel grade ethanol and gasoline in ar

25、eas with stringentenvironmental regulations, the magnitude of the interference should be negligible under most circumstances. A list of severaladditional functional groups that can interfere with Karl Fischer titrations is included in the Appendix (X1.1.1).7. Apparatus7.1 Automatic Titrator:7.1.1 Co

26、ulometric Automatic Titrator, consisting of a control unit, titration vessel, dual platinum sensing electrode, generatorelectrode assembly, and magnetic stirrer. The instrument is designed to coulometrically generate iodine that reacts stoichiometri-cally with the water present in the sample solutio

27、n. The coulombs of electricity required to generate the reagent are converted tomicrograms of water, which is obtained as a direct digital readout.7.1.2 Volumetric Automatic Titrator, consisting of a control unit, titration vessel, dual platinum sensing electrode, dispensingburet, and magnetic stirr

28、er. The instrument is designed to accurately dose an iodine containing titrant into the titration vessel thatreacts stoichiometrically with the water present in the sample solution. The titrant solution is standardized to determine milligramsof water per milliliter of Karl Fischer reagent it will ne

29、utralize in the sample.7.2 Gas-tight Syringe, fitted with a cannula needle of appropriate length and gauge for introducing sample into the titrationchamber or removing excess solution from titration chamber (see Note 1). The syringe shall be made of glass or other suitably inertmaterial. The volume

30、of the syringe will depend on the sample size. When injecting by volume, the sample should occupy at least25 % of the syringe volume.7.2.1 Rinse all glass syringes and needles with dry methanol or ethanol after cleaning, then dry in an oven at 100 C for at least1 h and store in a desiccator.7.3 Samp

Wearchemically resistant gloves when mixing the reagents and removing solution from the titration chamber. Exercise care to avoidinhalation

33、of reagent vapors, or direct contact of the reagent with the skin.9. Sampling9.1 Sampling is defined as all of the steps required to obtain an aliquot representative of the contents of any pipe, tank or othersystem and to place the sample into a container for analysis by a laboratory or test facilit

34、y. Sampling practices are covered inPractices D4057 and D4177.9.2 Due to the low concentration of water to be measured, and the hygroscopic nature of ethanol, exercise care at all times toavoid contaminating the sample with moisture from the sample container, the atmosphere, or transfer equipment.9.

35、3 Samples shall be at room temperature at time of analysis.9.4 Verify that samples are single phase before taking an aliquot to test. Water or water/ethanol blend will separate fromhydrocarbon if the solubility limit is exceeded. The solubility limit depends on the gasoline makeup, concentration of

36、ethanol orother emulsifiers, and sample temperature. Water is infinitely soluble in ethanol.9.4.1 For a transparent container, this observation can be determined by visual inspection. If the material has two phases, shakethe sample vigorously to combine. If the separate layer re-forms, the sample is

37、 not suitable for testing.9.4.2 If the sample is contained in a non-transparent container, mix the sample and immediately pour a portion of the remainingsample into a clear glass container and observe for evidence of phase separation. If the separate layer forms, the sample is notsuitable for testin

38、g.9.4.3 Because of the volatile and hygroscopic nature of the samples, mixing with a mechanical or electronic mixer is notrecommended.9.5 Remove the test specimens for analysis from the sample bottle with a dry, inert gas-tight syringe.PROCEDURE A (COULOMETRIC)10. Reagents10.1 Purity of ReagentsUnle

39、ss otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of theCommittee onAnalytical Reagents of theAmerican Chemical Society, where such specifications are available.3 Other grades maybe used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently

40、high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracyof the determination.10.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, reference to water shall be understood to mean Type II or Type III reagentwater, conforming to Specification D1193, or better.10.3 Karl Fischer ReagentsCommercial coulomet

41、ric KF reagents and reagent systems of various types are available for usewith autotitrators for water determination. Traditionally, pyridine was the organic base used in KF reagents. Pyridine-freeformulations are available and are preferred by most KF instrument manufacturers for use with their equ

42、ipment. The pyridine-freereagents are less toxic, less odorous, and more stable than those containing pyridine. The use of pyridine-free reagents isrecommended whenever possible. Coulometric titrations normally require two reagent solutions: an anolyte and a catholyte orgenerator solution. However,

43、with the use of an integrated or diaphragm-less cell, a single solution that contains all of the reagentsneeded for a KF titration may be used.10.3.1 Catholyte solution, contains ammonium salts and methanol.10.3.2 Anolyte solution, contains iodide, sulfur dioxide and imidazole buffer in a suitable s

44、olvent.10.3.3 One component solution, iodide, sulfur dioxide, imidazole buffer, and bases in a suitable solvent. This solution may beused as the only solution in a coulometric system with a diaphragm-less generator cell or as the anolyte solution in a diaphragmcell if specified by the manufacturer.1

(USPC), Rockville, MD.D7923 17311. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Clean, dry, and assemble the titration chamber as

47、 directed in the manufacturers instructions. Care should be taken toensure the vessel is sealed from atmospheric moisture. Replace the desiccant if saturated. Connect the leads from the sensing andgenerator electrodes to the titrator.11.2 Add catholyte solution (10.3.1) to the generator electrode as

48、sembly and reseal the vessel according to manufacturerinstructions.11.3 Fill the anode reservoir with anolyte solution (10.3.2) as directed by the manufacturer. The level of the catholyte solutionin the inner chamber shall be maintained slightly below the level of the anolyte solution to prevent bac

49、kflow contamination of thetitration (anolyte) solution. The anolyteAs samples are analyzed, the volume of the anolyte will increase. This may slow reactivityof the catholyte due to increased pressure across the membrane. A portion of the anolyte solution may have to be removedperiodically to maintain the lowercorrect level. (Note 1)NOTE 1A coulometric system with a diaphragm-less generator electrode should be filled with the appropriate one component solution.11.4 Agitate the titration solution by gently swirling the titration chamber to remove any residual moist
