9、 BSI 10-1999 Foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Laboratory Apparatus Standards Policy Committee. The most practised method of potentiometry is the determination of hydrogen ions, i.e. pH measurement, but because of its importance this is dealt with separately

10、 in BS1647, BS2586 and BS3145. Potentiometric determination of ion concentrations/activities received a fillip in the early 1970s with the commercial availability of a new range of ion-selective membrane electrodes 1, 2, 3 related to the familiar pH glass electrode, but responsive to a variety of ot

11、her cations, for example K +and Ca 2+ , and anions, for example F and , some of which could not previously be determined potentiometrically. This British Standard covers this new range of ion-selective (membrane) electrodes and reference electrodes and an outline of procedures for using ion-selectiv

12、e electrodes is given inAppendix A. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. NO 3

17、 given inAppendix E. 1.2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 1.2.1 General 1.2.1.1 pX the quantity defined by analogy with pH as pX = pa X= log a X , where a Xis the single ion activity of the species X, or alternatively as pX = pc X=logc X , where

18、c Xis the species concentration of X in mol/L 1.2.1.2 reference standards aqueous solutions which are the basis for standardizing the ISE cell (see 1.2.1.12) NOTEValues may be assigned as described inAppendix D. 1.2.1.3 practical response time the length of time that elapses between the instant at w

19、hich an ion-selective electrode and a reference electrode are brought into contact with a sample solution (or instant at which the concentration of the ion of interest is changed) and the first instant when the potential change of the cell has reached90% of the final value NOTEThe experimental condi

20、tions used should be stated, i.e. the stirring rate, the ionic concentration and composition of solution of which the response time is measured, the ionic concentration and composition of the solution to which the electrode was exposed prior to this measurement, the history and preconditioning of th

21、e electrode, and the temperature. 1.2.1.4 liquid junction any junction between two electrolyte solutions of different composition. Across such a junction there arises a potential difference, called the liquid junction potential NOTEIn the ISE cell, the junction is between the test, or standard, solu

22、tion and the filling solutions, or the bridge solution (see 1.2.3.3), of the reference electrode. 1.2.1.5 residual liquid junction (potential) error an error arising from breakdown in the assumption that the liquid junction potential remains constant on change of solution 1.2.1.6 slope factor, k the

23、 temperature-dependent proportionality factor between potential difference and pX for monovalent ions NOTEValues of k are given inTable 1. 1.2.1.7 test solution the solution of which the ionic activity, or ionic concentration, is required 1.2.1.8 drift this is the slow, non-random change with time i

24、n the potential difference of an ion-selective reference electrode cell maintained in a solution of constant composition and temperature 1.2.1.9 hysteresis (electrode memory) the occurrence of a different value in the potential difference after the concentration has been changed and then restored to

25、 its original value. The reproducibility of the electrode is consequently poor. The systematic error is generally in the direction of the concentration of the solution in which the electrode was previously immersed. Hysteresis may occur as a result of temperature change 1.2.1.10 membrane a continuou

The membrane of an ion-selective electrode is responsible for the potential response and selectivity of the electrode 1.2.1.11 interfering substance any species, other than the ion being measured, whose presence in the sample sol

Complexing agents and other components are often added

29、to minimize the effects of certain interferences 1.2.1.14 standard addition method (or known addition method) a procedure for the determination of the activity or concentration of a particular species in a sample by adding known amounts of that species to the sample solution and recording the change

30、 in potential difference of the ion-selective cell 1.2.1.15 standard subtraction method (or known subtraction method) a variation of the standard addition method (see1.2.1.14). In this procedure changes in the potential resulting from the addition of a known amount of a species which reacts stoichio

32、, i (in mol/L); z iis the change of the ion, i. 1.2.1.17 gran plot a means of evaluating titration, or standard addition, results in which a suitable function of the potential difference of the measuring cell is plotted on the vertical axis against volume increments on the horizontal axis, giving a

33、linear plot allowing the concentration of the sensed species to be obtained from the intercept on the horizontal axis 4 1.2.2 Ion-selective electrodes 1.2.2.1 ion-selective electrode (ISE) 1.2.2.1.1 general electrode responding to ions of species X, usually consisting of a membrane in the form of a

34、disc, or other suitable shape, of special material attached to a stem of plastics or glass complete with internal reference electrode (see1.2.2.2) and, optionally, an internal filling solution system (see1.2.2.3). Other geometrical forms may be appropriate for special applications, e.g. flow electro

35、des for measurement of ionic species in body fluids ion-selective electrodes may be classified as crystalline, non-crystalline and sensitized (see1.2.2.1.2 to 1.2.2.1.4) 1.2.2.1.2 crystalline electrodes these are categorized as follows a) Homogeneous, in which the membrane is a crystalline material

36、prepared from either a single compound or a homogeneous mixture of compounds (e.g. Ag 2 S and AgI+Ag 2 S). b) Heterogeneous, in which an active substance, or mixture of active substances, is mixed with an inert matrix, such as silicone rubber or PVC, or placed on hydrophobized graphite, to form the

37、sensing membrane. 1.2.2.1.3 non-crystalline electrodes these consist of a matrix containing an ion-exchanger which is usually interposed between two aqueous solutions. The matrix may be porous (e.g. cellulose ester) or non-porous e.g. glass or inert polymeric material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC

38、) typical of this class are glass electrodes in which the sensing membrane is a thin piece of glass. The chemical composition of the glass determines the selectivity of the membrane, e.g. hydrogen ion-selective electrodes (seeBS2586) and monovalent cation-selective electrodes electrodes with a mobil

39、e carrier are categorized as follows a) Positively charged, e.g. those of quaternary ammonium salts or salts of transition metal complexes such as derivatives of1,10-phenanthroline. b) Negatively charged, e.g. bulky anions such as dialkyl phosphate and tetrakis (p-chlorophenyl) borate anions. c) Unc

These are sensors composed of an indica

41、tor and a reference electrode and use a gas-permeable membrane or an air-gap to separate the sample solution from a thin film of an intermediate solution that is either held between the gas membrane and the ion-sensing membrane of the electrode or placed on the surface of the electrode using a wetti

42、ng agent (e.g. air-gap electrode). This intermediate solution interacts with the gaseous species in such a way as to produce a change in a measured value (e.g. pH) of the intermediate solution. This change is then sensed by the ion-selective electrode and is proportional to the partial pressure of t

43、he gaseous species in the sample. NOTEGas-sensing electrodes are in fact whole electrochemical cells. b) Enzyme substrate electrodes In these an ion-selective electrode is covered with a coating containing an enzyme which causes the reaction of an organic or inorganic substance (substrate) to produc

44、e a species to which the electrode responds. Alternatively, the sensor could be covered with a layer of substrate that reacts with the enzyme to be assayed. An example is an ammonium ion-selective electrode coated with urease for urea determination. 1.2.2.2 internal reference electrode (of an ion-se

45、lective electrode) electrode, e.g. silver-silver chloride, electrically connected to the screened input cable to the meter, and in contact with the internal filling solution NOTEIn all-solid-state electrodes the material of the reference electrode is deposited directly on to the membrane and the int

46、ernal filling solution is unnecessary. 1.2.2.3 internal filling solution (of an ion-selective electrode) aqueous electrolyte solution, which may be gelled, containing a fixed concentration of ion X and a fixed concentration of the ion to which the inner reference electrode is reversible, e.g. chlori

47、de ion in the case of silver-silver chloride or calomel electrodes 1.2.2.4 screened cable coaxial shielded cable connecting the ion-selective electrode internal reference electrode system to a plug for input to the measuring instrument (ISE meter) NOTESome electrodes may be provided with detachable

48、screened cables. 1.2.2.5 screened ion-selective electrode ion-selective electrode in which the screening is continued down almost the whole length of the stem of the electrode NOTECombination electrodes are screened by the external reference electrode filling solution (see1.2.3.1 and 1.2.3.2). 1.2.2
