ACID NUMBER AND NAPHTHENIC ACIDS BY TITRATION UOP Method 565-05 SCOPE This method is for determining the acid number of petroleum products, petroleum distillates, and similar materials by potentiometric titration. Inorganic acids, organic acids, mercaptans

5、 and thiophenols respond to this analysis, but their respective salts do not. For naphthenic acids, it is frequently desired to include the salts in the measurement. Therefore, a procedure is also included for the determination of sodium naphthenate salts. The typical range for acid number determina

6、tion is 0.002 to 5 mg KOH/g of sample, although higher concentrations can be accommodated. There are three procedures included in the method. The acid number of a sample can be determined on an as-received basis or on a mercaptan- and thiophenol-free basis. The method can also be used to determine n

7、aphthenic acids including sodium naphthenates (soaps) in caustic-washed hydrocarbons. For an estimated relative molecular mass of 130, the range of quantitation for naphthenic acids is 5 to 500 mass-ppm. The latter two procedures apply almost exclusively to light kerosines and gas oils where it is a

8、ssumed that the organic acids are entirely naphthenic. If no potentiometric titrator is available, and the sample is light in color, the titration may be performed colorimetrically; see the APPENDIX.

10、pped with a CO2guard tube. The titration is performed using a combination glass electrode. After a blank correction, the acid number is calculated as mg KOH/g of sample.

After filtration, t

12、he sample is titrated as described in PROCEDURE A. PROCEDURE C, determination of naphthenic acids including sodium naphthenates (soaps) in caustic-washed hydrocarbons: The sample is shaken with a copper sulfate-sodium chloride solution (sweetened) and filtered. The sample is then washed with dilute

13、sulfuric acid in order to convert the sodium naphthenates to naphthenic acids. The sample is then washed with water and filtered. The treated sample is then titrated as described in PROCEDURE A. The mid-boiling point distillation temperature of the sample is determined by ASTM Method D 86, “Distilla

14、tion of Petroleum Products at Atmospheric Pressure,” from which the molecular mass of the naphthenic acids is estimated. The naphthenic acid value is calculated in mass-ppm.

Assemble and operate the titrato

33、r and electrodes according to the manufacturers instructions. 2. Fill the dispenser reservoir of the titrator with the 0.05-M potassium hydroxide solution. The solution must be protected from atmospheric carbon dioxide by attaching a guard tube containing an absorbent, such as Ascarite, to the dispe

34、nser reservoir. 3. Crush approximately 1 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate using a mortar and pestle. 4. Transfer the potassium hydrogen phthalate to a clean crucible, and dry at 120C for 2 hours in a drying oven. 5. Remove the crucible from the oven using tongs, place it in a desiccator, cover it,

35、and allow it to cool to ambient temperature. 6. Weigh approximately 0.1 g of dried potassium hydrogen phthalate, to the nearest 0.1 mg, into each of three 250-mL beakers, and record the masses in each beaker. The standardization is performed in triplicate. Copyright by ASTM Intl (all rights reserved

Add, by graduated cylinder, 100 mL of carbon dioxide free water and a stirring bar to each beaker. The water must be carbon dioxide free. Prepare immediately before use by boiling

37、for approximately 10 minutes to expel carbon dioxide and then cooling while purging with nitrogen, or by placing the water under vacuum for sufficient time to degas. For example, 500 mL of water requires approximately 90 minutes under vacuum to fully degas. 8. Place one of the beakers on the titrati

38、on stand, immerse the electrodes and buret tip, and stir. Adjust the stirring speed to create a vortex in the solvent such that bubbles do not develop at its center. Obtain a stable reading before proceeding to Step 9. 9. Adjust the titration parameters so that the initial titration rate in the plat

39、eau region is 0.3 mL/min and the titration rate in the region of the endpoint is reduced to 0.1 mL/min. Titrate the potassium hydrogen phthalate solution with the 0.05-M potassium hydroxide. Record the volume of titrant used to reach the endpoint of the titration. The endpoint is the midpoint of the

40、 inflection; the point at which the curve changes from concave to convex, see Figure 1. 10. Titrate the contents of the other two beakers in the same manner. 11. For each titration, calculate the molarity of the potassium hydroxide, to four significant figures, using Equation 1: B2.204A10M3= )1( whe

41、re: A = mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate weighed into beaker, g B = volume of potassium hydroxide solution used to reach the endpoint, mL M = molarity of the 0.05-M potassium hydroxide, moles/L 204.2 = molecular mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate, g/mole 103= factor to convert moles/mL to mole

42、s/L 12. Average the results of the three determinations to four significant figures. Results from each of the triplicate runs should not deviate by more than 0.001M. If greater deviations occur, make certain that there are no problems with the equipment or the procedure; then repeat the procedure un

43、til the required repeatability is obtained on three consecutive runs. The potassium hydroxide solution must be standardized at least weekly to detect changes in molarity. A reference quality assurance sample may be run daily to confirm the stability of the titrant between standardizations. PROCEDURE

44、 Part A: Acid Number, As-Received Basis 1. Select the appropriate titration solvent (see REAGENTS AND MATERIALS) and sample size for the sample being analyzed; use Table 1 as a guide. 2. Determine a blank by performing the following Steps 6 through 10, using only the titration solvent, omitting the

Heat heavy or viscous samples containing suspended materials to 60 5C until the sample is completely fluid. The heating may be ac

46、complished by using an oven, a heated bath, a hot plate, or other convenient means. Do not use the oven used to dry the potassium hydrogen phthalate to warm the samples. Subsequent batches of potassium hydrogen phthalate could be contaminated by sample residue. 4. Shake vigorously to obtain a repres

48、 Do not exceed 120-mL sample volume. 5. Weigh the sample, to the nearest 0.01 g, into a 250-mL titration beaker. 6. Add, by graduated cylinder, 100 mL of the titration solvent selected in Step 1. 7. Add a stirring bar, position the beaker on the titration stand, start a slow flow of nitrogen to the

49、headspace of the beaker to expel air, and stir. Adjust the stirring speed to create a vortex in the solvent such that bubbles do not develop at its center. Continue applying a nitrogen blanket throughout the titration. 8. Immerse the electrodes into the solution and wait for a stable reading. 9. Titrate the solution with the 0.05-M potassium hydroxide using the following conditions. Adjust the titration parameters so that the initial titration rate in the plateau region is 0.3 mL/min, and the titration rate in the region of the endpoint is reduced to
