Two procedures are included. The first procedur

3、e determines thealkalinity of the sample by colorimetric titration. The second procedure determines fluoride concentrationusing a fluoride ion-selective electrode. Fluoride, as mass-% KOH required for neutralization, is determinedover a range of 0.016 to approximately 50 mass-%.OUTLINE OF METHODIn t

4、he first procedure, A, the sample is titrated with hydrochloric acid to a phenolphthalein endpoint. Thealkalinity, free base plus the basic carbonate, is calculated as mass-% KOH.In the second procedure, B, the sample is diluted to a specific volume with water and mixed with an ionicstrength activit

5、y buffer. The fluoride concentration is determined potentiometrically by comparison tostandard fluoride solutions using a high sensitivity pH meter and a fluoride ion-selective electrode andcalculated as mass-% KOH required for neutralization.APPARATUSReferences to catalog numbers and suppliers are

39、lectrode filling solution from the electrode each day, rinse twice with water and refill withfresh solution. The filling solution level should be at least 25 mm above the expected level of the sample in the beaker toensure a proper flow rate. If the filling solution is less than 25 mm above the samp

40、le level, the electrode potential may be erratic.2. Choose two standards, see Preparation of Standards, that bracket the fluoride concentration expectedin the sample solution. For example, if the sample reading is expected to be 30 ppm, choose the 10- and 100-g/g standards.3. Pipet 50 mL of the more

41、 dilute standard and 50 mL of TISAB into a 150-mL beaker and add a stirringbar. After the addition of the TISAB II, the sample must be analyzed within 10 min.4. Place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer and stir at a moderate rate. The measurement of all solutions must be made at the same temperature.

42、Magnetic stirrers may generate sufficient heat to change solution temperature. Therefore, place a piece ofinsulating material such as cork or cardboard between the stirrer and beaker for the standards andsamples.7 of 8248-925. Rinse the electrode with water, blot dry, and place it in the standard so

43、lution. Do not wipe or rub the sensing element.6. Wait for a stable reading, then adjust the meter to display the fluoride value of the standard. Instruction for this measurement accompany the electrode when purchased.7. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 using the more concentrated standard.8. Wait for a sta

44、ble reading, then adjust the meter to display the fluoride value of the second standard. The slope of the calibration as calculated by the meter should be in the range of -54 to -60 mV per decadewhen the solution temperature is 25C. If the value is not within this range remove the electrode from the

45、solution, polish it lightly with toothpaste and reanalyze the standards.Samples1. Add, by pipet, 50 mL of the sample solution and 50 mL of TISAB to a 150-mL beaker and add astirring bar. After the addition of the TISAB II, the sample must be analyzed within 10 min.2. Place the beaker on a magnetic s

46、tirrer and stir at a moderate rate. The measurement of all solutions must be made at the same temperature.3. Rinse the electrode with water, blot dry, and place it in the sample. The fluoride concentration isdisplayed on the meter.4. Store the electrode when not in use in 100-g/g fluoride standard.C
