9、gnificance and Use4.1 Carbon dioxide is a major respiration product of plantsand animals and a decomposition product of organic matter andcertain minerals. The atmosphere averages about 0.04 vol % ofCO2. Surface waters generally contain less than 10 mg/L,except at local points of abnormal organic or
10、 mineral decom-position; however, underground water, particularly deep wa-ters, may contain several hundred mg/L.4.2 When dissolved in water, CO2contributes significantlyto corrosion of water-handling systems. This is particularlytroublesome in steam condensate systems. Loss of CO2froman aqueous sys
11、tem can disturb the carbonate equilibrium andresult in calcite encrustation of confining surfaces. Scaling ofwater heaters is a good example. Because of the delicatebalance between corrosion and encrustation tendencies, muchcare must be given to control of CO2and related species inwater systems. Rec
12、arbonation of municipal supplies duringfinal stages of softening and amine neutralization of steamcondensate are applied for these purposes.5.

Additionally, for those test methodsrequiring water free of CO2, refer to 8.2 of Practice E200.6. Precautions6.1 WarningCarbon dioxide is easily lost f
18、rom solutionduring transit and storage of samples. It is also possible fortotal CO2concentration to increase after sampling due tosolution of finely divided calcium carbonate as a result oftemperature or pressure changes.7. Sampling7.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practices D1066and D3370,
19、as applicable.7.2 Filter samples when they are collected if particulates arepresent that may contain carbonates if dissolved species onlyare to be determined. When aliquots of sample are taken fromsample bottles containing particulates, the bottle must beshaken or otherwise homogenized to ensure a r
20、epresentativesample is taken. When particulates form in samples due tochanges in temperature, pH, etc., after the sample has beencollected, these particulates must be included in tests of thesample. Care must be used to avoid loss of CO2during anyhomogenization of filtration of samples. Do not filte
21、r samplesunless it is required to remove potentially interfering particu-lates.7.3 Use a hard, glass, chemically resistant bottle for collect-ing the sample.7.4 Fill the sample bottle completely, with no air spaceremaining beneath the cap, and store the sample at a tempera-ture below that at which i
22、t was collected until the determinationis made.TEST METHOD AGAS SENSING ELECTRODETEST METHOD8. Scope8.1 This test method determines total or dissolved carbondioxide (14.3) present as CO2, carbonic acid, bicarbonate ion,and carbonate ion in water, within the interference constraintsspecified.8.2 Samp
23、les containing 2 to 800 mg/L total CO2can beanalyzed by this test method. The concentration range may beextended by dilution of an appropriate aliquot.8.3 Samples should be analyzed immediately. If this is notpossible, preserve by making them slightly alkaline (pHbetween 8 and 9) using carbonate-fre
24、e NaOH solution andstore them in a tightly capped vessel. The latter step preventsabsorption of CO2from the air.8.4 The precision and bias were obtained on reagent waterand a water matrix of choice that included natural waters andbrines. It is the responsibility of the analyst to determine theaccept
25、ability of this test method for the water being analyzed.9. Summary of Test Method9.1 Carbon dioxide is liberated by acidification of thesample to pH 5.0. The carbon dioxide electrode uses agas-permeable membrane to separate the sample solution fromthe electrode internal solution. Dissolved carbon d
26、ioxide in thesample solution diffuses through the membrane until an equi-librium is reached between the partial pressure of CO2in thesample solution and the CO2in the internal filling solution. Inany given sample, the partial pressure of CO2will be propor-tional to the concentration of CO2. The diff
27、usion of CO2acrossthe membrane affects the concentration of hydrogen ions in theinternal filling solution:CO21 H2OH11 HCO329.2 The hydrogen ion concentration of the internal solutionis measured by the pH electrode located behind the membrane.Since the hydrogen ion concentration is directly related t
28、o CO2concentration, the electrode response is Nernstian.9.3 Samples are treated prior to measurement with a buffersolution that sets the pH between 4.8 and 5.2. At this pH,interferences are minimized and the various ionic forms areconverted to CO2(see Section 10).10. Interferences10.1 Volatile weak
29、acids are potential positive electrodeinterferences. Concentrations of these interfering species thatcause a 10 % error at 44 mg/L CO2or 100 mg/L (as CaCO3)and at pH 4 and 5, are listed below:Interferences, mg/L pH 5 pH 4H2S107NO2(NO2) 161 24HSO3(SO2) 320 (as SO2) 48 (as SO2)HOAc (acetic acid) 372 2
30、16HCOOH (formic acid) 1841 34510.2 Samples containing sulfide can be treated with dilutesolutions of potassium dichromate (or the like), since sulfur isnot an interference for this test method. However, it is possiblethat some organic material could be oxidized to CO2by thistreatment, resulting in f
31、alsely high results. The suitability of thetest method for samples containing sulfide should be deter-mined individually.10.3 Water vapor is a potential electrode interference. Watercan move across the membrane as water vapor, changing theconcentration of the internal filling solution under the mem-
32、brane. Such changes will be seen as electrode drift. Watervapor transport is not a problem if (1) the total concentration ofdissolved species in solution (Note 1) is approximately equal tothat of the internal filling solution, and (2) electrode andsample temperatures are the same.3Reagent Chemicals,

34、mulary, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. (USPC), Rockville,MD.D513 1112NOTE 1The osmotic strength of a solution is related to the totalconcentration of dissolved species in the solution. For example, theosmotic strength of a solution containing 0.1 M hydrochloric acid, 0.1 Macetic acid, and 0.1 M
35、 sucrose is determined as follows: Hydrochloric aciddissociates to give 0.1 M hydrogen ion and 0.1 M chloride ion. The aceticacid, because of the concentration of free hydrogen ion, is essentiallyundissociated; thus giving 0.1 M of species. Likewise, the concentration ofsucrose species is 0.1 M. The
36、refore, the total osmotic strength is 0.4osmolar.10.4 Addition of carbon dioxide buffer (12.1) to samples oflow osmotic strength automatically adjusts them to the correctlevel. Samples with osmotic strength greater than approxi-mately 1 M should be diluted before measurement to avoiddrifting associa
37、ted with water vapor transport. Dilution shouldnot reduce the carbon dioxide level below 2.5 mg/L. Sampleswith osmotic strengths above 1 M that cannot be diluted can bemeasured by adjusting the osmotic strength of the internalfilling solution. To adjust the total concentration of dissolvedspecies in

Precision and Bias515.1 PrecisionThe overall and single operator precisionof this test method, within its designated range, varies with thequantity tested as shown in Fig. 1 for reagent water and
48、 Fig. 2for selected water matrices. These matrices included naturalwaters and brines.15.2 BiasRecoveries of known amounts of total CO2from reagent water and selected water matrices were as shownin Table 1.15.3 The information in 15.1 and 15.2 is derived fromround-robin testing in which eight laborat
49、ories, includingtwelve independent operators, participated. Of twelve data setsranked as described in Practice D2777, four were rejected inthe case of reagent water and three were rejected in the case ofselected water matrices. Four outlier data points were alsorejected. Four sample levels were run on three days, and blankswere obtained for the waters used.15.4 Precision and bias for this test method conforms toPractice D2777-77, which was in place at the time of collab-orative testing. Under the allowances made in 1.4 of PracticeD2777-08, these precision and
