15、PA 19428-2959, United States.6.2 The ORP of an aqueous solution is sensitive to changein temperature of the solution, but temperature correction israrely done due to its minimal effect and complex reactions.Temperature corrections are usually applied only when it isdesired to relate the ORP to the a
16、ctivity of an ion in thesolutions.6.3 The ORP of an aqueous solution is almost alwayssensitive to pH variations even to reactions that do not appearto involve hydrogen or hydroxyl ions. The ORPgenerally tendsto increase with an increase in hydrogen ions and to decreasewith an increase in hydroxyl io
17、ns during such reactions.6.4 Reproducible oxidation-reduction potentials cannot beobtained for chemical systems that are not reversible. Mostnatural and ground waters do not contain reversible systems, ormay contain systems that are shifted by the presence of air. Themeasurement of end point potenti
18、al in oxidation-reductiontitration is sometimes of this type.6.5 If the metallic portion of the ORP electrode is sponge-like, materials absorbed from solutions may not be washedaway, even by repeated rinsings. In such cases, the electrodemay exhibit a memory effect, particularly if it is desired tod
19、etect a relatively low concentration of a particular speciesimmediately after a measurement has been made in a relativelyconcentrated solution. A brightly polished metal electrodesurface is required for accurate measurements.6.6 The ORP resulting from interactions among severalchemical systems prese
20、nt in mixed solutions may not beassignable to any single chemical.7. Apparatus7.1 MeterMost laboratory pH meters can be used formeasurements of ORP by substitution of an appropriate set ofelectrodes and meter scale. Readability to 1 mV is adequate.The choice will depend on the accuracy desired in th
21、edetermination.7.1.1 Most process pH meters can be used for measurementof ORP by substitution of an appropriate set of electrodes andmeter scale. These instruments are generally much morerugged than those which are used for very accurate measure-ments in the laboratory. Usually, these more rugged in
22、stru-ments produce results that are somewhat less accurate andprecise than those obtained from laboratory instruments. Thechoice of process ORP analyzer is generally based on howclosely the characteristics of the analyzer match the require-ments of the application. Typical factors which may beconsid
23、ered include, for example, the types of signals which theanalyzer can produce to drive external devices, and the spanranges available.7.1.2 For remote ORPmeasurements the potential generatedcan be transmitted to an external indicating meter. Specialshielded cable is required to transmit the signal.7
24、.2 Reference ElectrodeA calomel, silver-silver chloride,or other reference electrode of constant potential shall be used.If a saturated calomel electrode is used, some potassiumchloride crystals shall be contained in the saturated potassiumchloride solution. If the reference electrode is of the flow
25、ingjunction type, a slow outward flow of the reference-electrodesolution is desired. To achieve this, the solution pressure insidethe liquid junction should be somewhat in excess of thatoutside the junction. In nonpressurized applications this re-quirement can be met by maintaining the inside soluti
26、on levelhigher than the outside solution level. If the reference electrodeis of the nonflowing junction type, these outward flow andpressurization considerations shall not apply. The referenceelectrode and junction shall perform satisfactorily as requiredin the procedure for checking sensitivity des
27、cribed in 11.2.7.3 Oxidation-Reduction ElectrodeA noble metal is usedin the construction of oxidation-reduction electrodes. The mostcommon metals employed are platinum and gold; silver israrely used. It is important to select a metal that is not attackedby the test solution. The construction of the
28、electrode shall besuch that only the noble metal comes in contact with the testsolution. The area of the noble metal in contact with the testsolution should be approximately 1 cm2.7.4 Electrode AssemblyA conventional electrode holderor support can be employed for laboratory measurements.Many differe
29、nt styles of electrode holders are suitable forvarious process applications such as measurements in an opentank, process pipe line, pressure vessel, or a high pressuresample line.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indica
30、ted, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee onAnalytical Reagents of theAmerican Chemical Society.3Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained thatthe reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its usewithout lessening the accuracy
31、of the determination.8.2 Purity of WaterReferences to water shall be under-stood to mean water that meets or exceeds the quantitativespecifications for type I or II reagent water conforming toSpecification D 1193, Section 1.1.8.3 Aqua RegiaMix 1 volume of concentrated nitric acid(HNO3, sp gr 1.42) w

44、e/Triiodide solution.9. Sampling9.1 Collect the samples in accordance with PracticesD 3370.10. Preparation10.1 Electrode TreatmentCondition and maintain ORPelectrodes as recommended by the manufacturer. If the assem-bly is in intermittent use, the immersible ends of the electrodeshould be kept in wa
45、ter between measurements. Cover thejunctions and fill-holes of reference electrodes to reduceevaporation during prolonged storage.10.2 ORP Electrode CleaningIt is desirable to clean theelectrode daily. Remove foreign matter by a preliminarytreatment with a detergent or mild abrasive, such as toothpa
46、ste.If this is insufficient, use 1 + 1 nitric acid. Rinse the electrodein water several times. An alternative cleaning procedure is toimmerse the electrode in chromic acid cleaning mixture atroom temperature for several minutes, then rinse with dilutehydrochloric acid, and then thoroughly rinse with
47、 water. Ifthese steps are insufficient, immerse the ORP electrode inwarm (70C) aqua regia and allow to stand for 1 min. Thissolution dissolves noble metal and should not be used longerthan the time specified. In these cleaning operations, particularcare must be exercised to protect glass-metal seals
48、 from suddenchanges of temperature, which might crack them.11. Standarization11.1 Turn on meter according to manufacturers instructions.Check zero on meter by shorting the input connection. Thereading should be less than 60.5 mV.11.2 Checking the Response of the Electrode to StandardRedox Solutions
49、(see 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10)Wash the electrodeswith three changes of water or by means of a flowing streamfrom a wash bottle. Use one or more of the solutions fromsections 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10 to check the response of theelectrode. Fill the sample container with fresh redox standardsolution and immerse the electrodes. The reading should bewithin 30 mV of the value expected for the standard solution.Repeat the measurement with fresh solution. The secondreading should not differ from the first by more than 10 mV.12.
