Scope*1.1 These test methods2cover the determination of acidityor alkalinity
3、 of all types of water. Three test methods are givenas follows:SectionsTest Method A (Electrometric Titration) 7 to 15Test Method B (Electrometric or Color-Change Titration) 16 to 24Test Method C (Color-Change Titration After HydrogenPeroxide Oxidation and Boiling)25 to 331.2 In all of these test me
4、thods the hydrogen or hydroxylions present in water by virtue of the dissociation or hydrolysisof its solutes, or both, are neutralized by titration with standardalkali (acidity) or acid (alkalinity). Of the three procedures,Test Method A is the most precise and accurate. It is used todevelop an ele
5、ctrometric titration curve (sometimes referred toas a pH curve), which defines the acidity or alkalinity of thesample and indicates inflection points and buffering capacity, ifany. In addition, the acidity or alkalinity can be determinedwith respect to any pH of particular interest. The other twomet
6、hods are used to determine acidity or alkalinity relative toa predesignated end point based on the change in color of aninternal indicator or the equivalent end point measured by a pHmeter. They are suitable for routine control purposes.1.3 When titrating to a specific end point, the choice of endpo
7、int will require a careful analysis of the titration curve, theeffects of any anticipated changes in composition on thetitration curve, knowledge of the intended uses or dispositionof the water, and a knowledge of the characteristics of theprocess controls involved. While inflection points (rapidcha
8、nges in pH) are usually preferred for accurate analysis ofsample composition and obtaining the best precision, the use ofan inflection point for process control may result in significanterrors in chemical treatment or process control in someapplications. When titrating to a selected end point dictat
9、ed bypractical considerations, (1) only a part of the actual neutral-izing capacity of the water may be measured, or (2) thiscapacity may actually be exceeded in arriving at optimumacidity or alkalinity conditions.1.4 A scope section is provided in each test method as aguide. It is the responsibilit

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 The terms in this standard are defined in accordancewith Terminology D1129.3.1.2 Certain u
18、ses of terminology exist in the water treat-ment industry which may differ from these definitions. Adiscussion of terms is presented in Appendix X1.4. Significance and Use4.1 Acidity and alkalinity measurements are used to assist inestablishing levels of chemical treatment to control scale,corrosion
19、, and other adverse chemical equilibria.4.2 Levels of acidity or alkalinity are critical in establishingsolubilities of some metals, toxicity of some metals, and thebuffering capacity of some waters.5. Purity of Reagents5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests.Unless otherwise indicate
20、d, it is intended that all reagents shallconform to the specifications of the Committee on AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society, where suchspecifications are available.4Other grades may be used, pro-vided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit
21、 its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.5.2 Unless otherwise indicated, references to water shall beunderstood to mean reagent water conforming to SpecificationD1193, Type I. In addition, reagent water for this test shall befree of carbon dioxide (CO2) and shall have a pH between
22、 6.2and 7.2 at 25C. Other reagent water types may be usedprovided it is first ascertained that the water is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without adversely affecting theprecision and bias of the test method. Type III water wasspecified at the time of round robin testing of this test m
23、ethod.A procedure for the preparation of carbon dioxide-free water isgiven in Practice E200.6. Sampling6.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practice D1066and Practices D3370 as applicable.6.2 The time interval between sampling and analysis shallbe as short as practically possible in all cases.
24、It is mandatorythat analyses by Test Method A be carried out the same day thesamples are taken; essentially immediate analysis is desirablefor those waste waters containing hydrolyzable salts thatcontain cations in several oxidation states.TEST METHOD AELECTROMETRIC TITRATION7. Scope7.1 This test me
25、thod is applicable to the determination ofacidity or alkalinity of all waters that are free of constituentsthat interfere with electrometric pH measurements. It is usedfor the development of a titration curve that will defineinflection points and indicate buffering capacity, if any. Theacidity or al
26、kalinity of the water or that relative to a particularpH is determined from the curve.8. Summary of Test Method8.1 To develop a titration curve that will properly identifythe inflection points, standard acid or alkali is added to thesample in small increments and a pH reading is taken after eachaddi
27、tion. The cumulative volume of solution added is plottedagainst the observed pH values. All pH measurements aremade electrometrically.9. Interferences9.1 Although oily matter, soaps, suspended solids, and otherwaste materials may interfere with the pH measurement, thesematerials may not be removed t
28、o increase precision, becausesome are an important component of the acid- or alkali-consuming property of the sample. Similarly, the developmentof a precipitate during titration may make the glass electrodesluggish and cause high results.10. Apparatus10.1 Electrometric pH Measurement Apparatus, conf
29、orm-ing to the requirements given in Test Methods D1293.11. Reagents411.1 Hydrochloric Acid, Standard (0.02 N) (see Note 1)Prepare and standardize as directed in Practice E200, exceptthat the titration shall be made electrometrically. The inflectionpoint corresponding to the complete titration of ca
30、rbonic acidsalts will be very close to pH 3.9.NOTE 1Sulfuric acid of similar normality may be used instead ofhydrochloric acid. Prepare and standardize in like manner.11.2 Sodium Hydroxide, Standard (0.02 N)Prepare andstandardize as directed in Practice E200, except that thetitration shall be made e
31、lectrometrically. The inflection pointcorresponding to the complete titration of the phthalic acid saltwill be very close to pH 8.6.12. Procedure12.1 Mount the glass and reference electrodes in two of theholes of a clean, threehole rubber stopper chosen to fit a300-mL, tall-form Berzelius beaker wit
32、hout spout, or equiva-lent apparatus. Alternatively, a combination pH electrode canbe used that has both a glass and a reference electrode in anintegral unit. Place the electrodes in the beaker and standardizethe pH meter, using a reference buffer having a pH approxi-mating that expected for the sam
33、ple (see Test Methods D1293).Rinse the electrodes, first with reagent water, then with aportion of the sample. Following the final rinse, drain thebeaker and electrodes completely.12.2 Pipette 100 mL of the sample, adjusted, if necessary, toroom temperature, into the beaker through the third hole in
34、 thestopper. Hold the tip of the pipette near the bottom of thebeaker while discharging the sample.4Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

35、 Standards for LaboratoryChemicals, BDH Ltd., Poole, Dorset, U.K., and the United States Pharmacopoeiaand National Formulary, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. (USPC), Rockville,MD.D1067 16212.3 Measure the pH of the sample in accordance with TestMethods D1293.12.4 Add either 0.02 N acid or alkali
36、 solution, as indicated,in increments of 0.5 mL or less (see Note 2). After eachaddition, mix the solution thoroughly. Determine the pH whenthe mixture has reached equilibrium as indicated by a constantreading (see Note 3). Mechanical stirring, preferably of themagnetic type, is required for this op
37、eration; mixing by meansof a gas stream is not permitted. Continue the titration until thenecessary data for the titration curve have been obtained.NOTE 2If the sample requires appreciably more than 25 mL ofstandard solution for its titration, use a smaller aliquot, or a 0.1 N solution,prepared and
38、standardized in the same manner (see Practice E200).NOTE 3An electrometric titration curve is smooth, with the pHchanging progressively in a single direction, if equilibrium is achievedafter each incremental addition of titrant, and may contain one or moreinflection points. Ragged or irregular curve
39、s may indicate that equilibriumwas not attained before adding succeeding increments. The time requiredwill vary with different waters as the reaction rate constants of differentchemical equilibria vary. In some instances the reaction time may be aninterval of a few seconds while other slower, more c
40、omplex reactions mayrequire much longer intervals. It is important, therefore, that the period besufficient to allow for any significant pH changes, yet consistent with goodlaboratory practices.12.5 To develop a titration curve, plot the cumulativemillilitres of standard solution added to the sample
41、 aliquotagainst the observed pH values. The acidity or alkalinityrelative to a particular pH may be determined from the curve.13. Calculation13.1 Calculate the acidity or alkalinity, in milliequivalentsper litre, using Eq 1:Acidityor alkalinity!, meq/L epm! 5 AN/B 31000 (1)where:1000 = 1000 mL / lit

Report14.1 Report the results of titrations to specific end points asfollows: “The acidity (or alkalinity) to pH at C = meq L(epm).”14.2 Appropriate factors for convert
43、ing milliequivalents perlitre (epm) to other units are given in Guide D596.15. Precision and Bias515.1 The precision and bias data presented in Table 1 forthis test method meet the requirements of Practice D2777.15.2 The collaborative test of this test method was per-formed in reagent waters by six
44、laboratories using one operatoreach, using three levels of concentration for both the acidityand alkalinity.15.3 Precision and bias for this test method conforms toPractice D2777 77, which was in place at the time ofcollaborative testing. Under the allowances made in 1.4 ofPractice D2777 13, these p
45、recision and bias data do meetexisting requirements for interlaboratory studies of CommitteeD19 test methods.TEST METHOD BELECTROMETRIC OR COLOR-CHANGE TITRATION16. Scope16.1 This test method covers the rapid, routine controlmeasurement of acidity or alkalinity to predesignated endpoints of waters t
46、hat contain no materials that buffer at the endpoint or other materials that interfere with the titration byreasons that may include color or precipitation.17. Summary of Test Method17.1 The sample is titrated with standard acid or alkali to adesignated pH, the end point being determined electrometr
47、i-cally or by the color change of an internal indicator.18. Interferences18.1 Natural color or the formation of a precipitate whiletitrating the sample may mask the color change of an internalindicator. Suspended solids may interfere in electrometrictitrations by making the glass electrode sluggish.
48、 Waste mate-rials present in some waters may interfere chemically withcolor titrations by destroying the indicator. Variable resultsmay be experienced with waters containing oxidizing orreducing substances, depending on the equilibrium conditionsand the manner in which the sample is handled.19. Appa
