Bromine Number and Bromine Index of Hydrocarbons by Potentiometric Titration UOP Method 304-08 Scope This method is for determining bromine number and bromine index, by potentiometric titration, in hydrocarbons that are stable at room temperature and have endpoints below 550C (10

5、22F) as determined by ASTM Method D 1160, “Distillation of Petroleum Products at Reduced Pressure,” or D 2887, “Boiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Fractions by Gas Chromatography.” The results denote those compounds that react with bromine under the analytical conditions prescribed in this meth

6、od, and, in general, are relatable to olefin content. However, certain non-olefinic compounds can constitute a positive interference, while some olefins will not react stoichiometrically (see ASTM D 1159, “Bromine Number of Petroleum Distillates and Commercial Aliphatic Olefins by Electrometric Titr

7、ation”). The olefin content can be estimated using the calculation in ASTM D 1159.

10、n the titration reaction. The solution is titrated potentiometrically at room temperature with either a 0.5-N (0.25-M) or 0.02-N 2 of 13 304-08 (0.01-M) bromide-bromate solution depending upon whether bromine number or bromine index, respectively, is being determined. The titration uses a combinatio

11、n platinum electrode in conjunction with a recording potentiometric titrator. Bromine number or index is calculated from the volume of titrant required to reach a stable endpoint. Definitions Bromine number, the number of grams of bromine consumed by 100 g of the sample when reacted under the condit

12、ions specified. Bromine index, the number of milligrams of bromine consumed by 100 g of the sample when reacted under the conditions specified. By definition the bromine index divided by 1000 is essentially equivalent to the bromine number. Other methods for the determination of bromine index or bro

Electrode Preparation and Blank The electrode must be properly conditioned to obtain reproducible and noise-free titration

32、curves. Condition the electrode at the beginning of each day, or if 2 or more hours have elapsed between sample titrations, by titrating a minimum of 2 blank determinations. Use the procedure described under Determination of Bromine Index or Determination of Bromine Number except that no sample is a

33、dded. The results from the two blanks are compared and if they are within 0.02 mL, samples can be analyzed. If the two blanks do not agree within 0.02 mL, the blank titration must be repeated. If the blanks do not consistently repeat within 0.02 mL, reanalyze the blank after every sample. Use the av

34、erage of the blank titration results, before and after the sample titration, in the calculation.

42、ic recording titrators can vary, the exact settings are judgmental. Experience gained in the titration of Cyclohexene-Bromine Number reference standard solution (see Standardization) will provide guidance in the choice of settings that will produce an accurate value in a reasonable time. When the ap

43、proximate bromine number is determined, a more appropriate sample size can be selected and the sample reanalyzed to obtain a precise result. Samples with bromine numbers less than 0.8 are analyzed by the bromine index procedure, while samples with bromine numbers greater than 24 are diluted prior to

44、 analysis (see Table 1).

45、 and titrate. 1. Pipet 100 mL of the bromine number titration solvent into the 250-mL titration beaker (see Note 4). 2. Flush a disposable syringe with needle and draw an aliquot of sample for analysis. Quickly remove any liquid adhering to the outside of the needle with a wiper and stopper the tip

46、of the needle with a silicone rubber stopper. The sample size needed is dependent on the expected bromine number. Use Table 1 as a guide in determining the sample amount needed. 3. Weigh the stoppered syringe plus sample to the nearest 0.1 mg. 6 of 13 304-08 4. Remove the silicone rubber stopper and

47、 inject the sample aliquot into the bromine number titration solvent The needle tip is inserted directly above the level of the bromine index titration solvent to ensure that the entire sample dissolves in the solution and does not adhere to the cell walls. 5. Replace the stopper and reweigh the sto

48、ppered syringe to the nearest 0.1 mg. Calculate the mass of the sample injected by difference and record. If an expected bromine number is not known, add approximately 1 g of sample to the titration cell and titrate. After an approximate bromine index is determined, a more appropriate sample size is

49、 selected and the sample is reanalyzed to obtain a precise result. If, upon the addition of the sample to the titration solvent, or if, during the titration, the solution separates or becomes cloudy, then the sample size must be reduced by 50% and the titration repeated. Samples such as detergent alkylate are slow to react and must be analyzed accordingly. 6. Place a Teflon stir bar in the titration beaker and set it on the magnetic stirrer. 7. Insert the combination electrode and adjust the stirring speed to create a vortex in the solvent that does not develop bubb
