21、on of ethanol held at 22 C 2 C is measured using an electrode containing lithium chloride (LiCl) in an ethanol medium connected to a pH meter system.

27、mples shall be taken as described in EN ISO 3170. 7.2 Take care to minimise the uptake of atmospheric water during sampling and sample handling. NOTE The use of a glass bottle that can be sealed with a septum has been found suitable for sampling and sample handling. A test portion of the sample can

28、be taken through the septum with a syringe fitted with a needle. 8 Apparatus preparation 8.1 Clean/rehydrate new electrodes before use in alcoholic solutions and after measuring the pHe of 10 ethanol samples by alternatively soaking them in 1 mol/l sodium hydroxide solution (5.5) for approximately 3

29、0 s then 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid solution (5.6) for approximately 30 s. Repeat this procedure 3 times. 8.2 Wash the electrode free of acid and alkali with water (5.3) and allow draining. If the electrode is not to be used immediately, place in and store in a solution of lithium chloride in ethanol

30、 (5.4). 9 pH meter and electrode system calibration 9.1 Set up the pH meter in accordance with the manufactures instructions and, if fitted, adjust the temperature compensator to 22 C 2C. 9.2 Remove the combined electrode from the lithium chloride solution (5.4), wash with water (5.3) and allow drai

31、ning. 9.3 Rinse the combined electrode (6.2) with pH 4,00 buffer solution (5.1). EN 15490:2007 (E) 6 9.4 In a 100 ml beaker (6.5), place sufficient volume of pH 4,00 buffer solution (5.1) at 22 C 2C to cover the electrode. Insert the magnetic follower (6.6). 9.5 Place the beaker and its contents on

32、the magnetic stirrer (6.3). NOTE Automatic pH meters may require the user to input the pH value of the buffer solution. 9.6 Place the combined electrode (6.2) into the pH 4,00 buffer solution (5.1). Cover the beaker (see NOTE under 6.5). 9.7 Switch on the magnetic stirrer (6.3) and allow the pH mete

If necessary, adjust the pH meter reading to 10,00 using the slope adjustment. 10 A

34、pparatus verification 10.1 Before testing each day and after cleaning/rehydrating the electrode, see clause 8, verify the correct functioning of the electrode/pH meter system using a pH 7,00 buffer solution (5.1) in accordance with 10.2 to 10.7. 10.2 Rinse the combined electrode with water (5.3) the

35、n with pH 7,00 buffer solution (5.1). 10.3 In a 100 ml beaker (6.5), place sufficient volume of pH 7,00 buffer solution (5.1) at 22 C 2C to cover the electrode.

37、 the combined electrode, clean in accordance with 8.1 and repeat 10.1 to 10.6. 10.9 If the reading is still not within the tolerance in 10.7, recalibrate the electrode and pH meter in accordance with clause 9. 11 Procedure 11.1 If a temperature compensator is fitted to the pH meter, check and, if ne

38、cessary, adjust it to 22 C 2 C. 11.2 Bring the ethanol (5.2) to be tested to 22 C 2 C and place sufficient volume of it to cover the electrode in a 100 ml beaker (6.5). 11.3 Place the beaker and the test portion on a magnetic stirrer (6.3). Insert the magnetic follower (6.4) and the electrode and co

39、ver the beaker to minimise the ingress of atmospheric carbon dioxide. EN 15490:2007 (E) 7 11.4 Stir the test portion, allow the pHe reading to stabilize, see note. Record the pHe to the nearest 0,01. NOTE For some samples this may be in excess of 4 min. In such circumstances extra care should be tak

40、en to minimise the ingress of atmospheric carbon dioxide during the measurement. 12 Expression of results Report the pHe of the sample to the nearest 0,01. 13 Precision 13.1 General The precision given was derived from statistical analysis by EN ISO 4259 2 of the results of interlaboratory testing o

41、f a matrix of ethanol samples produced in Europe from bio materials such as raw wine, molasses, pulp and corn. Typical values are given in Table 1. NOTE The interlaboratory testing and the statistical evaluation are detailed in an UNGDA Report, September 2006 (UNGDA, 174 blvd Camlinat, 92247 MALAKOF

42、F Cedex, France, www.ungda.org). 13.2 Repeatability, r The difference between two test results, obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus under constant operating conditions on identical test material would in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed t

43、he following value in only one case in twenty. r = 0,033 X (1) where X is the average of results being compared. 13.3 Reproducibility, R The difference between two single and independent results, obtained by different operators working in different laboratories on identical test material, would in t

44、he long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the following value only in one case in twenty. R = 0,096 X (2) where X is the average of results being compared.

EN 15490:2007 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) Background to actual fuel specification needs The test method described in this doc

47、ument is able to identify the presence (in fact the absence) of strong acids and alkalis in ethanol for fuel (blending) purposes. In general, ethanol for those purposes in Europe requires a minimum pHe of 6,5 and a maximum pHe of 9,0. This has been studied based on the methods reproducibility and it

48、 has been found unfit for compliance testing at the boundaries of the ethanol specification. The reason behind this is that the result is greatly influenced by the amount of water in the test sample. In general, the water content required in European fuels is rather low compared to similar specifica

49、tions in other regions of the world. The pH meter readings are not very stable and there can be a lot of reading drift caused by effects of the test sample on the glass electrode and possibly by take up of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Although guidance can be given on the length of time the operator waits until making the readings, laboratories reported that the time taken for their instrument varied and some laboratories reported that up to 4 minutes were required to obtain a stable reading.
