Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 aciditythe amount of total acid titrated with anaqueous base (KOH or NaOH) in a sample of ethylene glycol.The acidity is calculated as acetic acid in mg/kg.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An

8、 aliquot of a mono-, di-, tri- or tetraethylene glycolsample is weighed and titrated potentiometrically with amonotonic or dynamic mode of titrant addition using anaqueous base (NaOH or KOH) solution to determine the acidcontent in milligrams of acid as acetic acid per kilogram ofsample.An ethylene

9、glycol sample can be analyzed directly bythis test method without any sample preparation using acombination pH electrode with an inert ethanol electrolytedesigned for non-aqueous titrations. The potentiometric titra-tion readings in millivolts are plotted automatically against therespective volumes

10、of the titrating solution and the end point isidentified by a well-defined inflection in the resulting curve.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides for the quantitative determi-nation of total acidity in ethylene glycols by non-aqueouspotentiometric titration. The run time for titratio

11、n of ethyleneglycol samples ranges from 5 to 10 min with no samplepreparation required. The length of time for a titration dependson the amount of acidity in the sample and the acidity generallyincreases from monoethylene glycol to the higher glycols liketetraethylene glycol.5.2 Acceptable levels of

12、 acidity in ethylene glycols varywith the manufacturers specifications but are normally below200 mg/kg. Knowledge of the acidity in ethylene glycols isrequired to establish whether the product quality meets speci-fication requirements.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E15

Interferences6.1 Aqueous base solutions, such as the 0.01 mol/L KOH orNaOH titrant, may absorb carbon dioxide from the air toproduce carbonate ions in the titrant and change t

16、he concen-tration of the titrant. Care should be taken to minimizeexposure of basic titrants to the air. Verify the concentration ofthe titrant (standardize the titrant) if prolonged exposure to theair occurs.6.2 Minimize exposure of the ethylene glycol samples to theair to avoid contamination.7. Ap

It isrecommended to wait at least 10 s between additions.7.1.2 Buret, 5 mL capacity, capable of delivering titrant in0.02 mL or larger increments

The combination pH electrodeshould have a sleeve junction on the reference compartmentand should use an inert ethanol electrolyte, 13 mol/L LiCl inethanol. Combination pH electrodes should have the same orbetter response than a dual el

Care should be taken to see that there are noair bubbles in the buret tip which might be dispensed during thetitration and can lead to errors.10.2 Preparation of Electrodes:10.2.1 When the combination pH electrode co

43、ntains aAg/AgCl reference with an electrolyte which is not 13 mol/LLiCl in ethanol, the electrolyte must be replaced. Drain theelectrolyte from the electrode (vacuum suction), wash away allthe salt (if present) with water and then rinse with ethanol.Rinse several times with the LiCl electrolyte solu
