Summary of Test Method3.1 A specimen of styrene monomer is added to a solutionof isopropanol and acetic acid. A satur
6、ated solution of sodiumiodide in isopropanol is added and the solution refluxed. Theperoxides present liberate iodine from sodium iodide quantita-tively. The liberated iodine is then titrated with sodiumthiosulfate to a colorless end point.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is suitable for

Procedure9.1 Add 200 mL of isopropyl alcohol into each of two500-mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing several boiling chips.Add 10 mL of glacial acetic acid to each flask. Into one flaskpipet 50 mL of the
18、 styrene monomer sample. Identify this flaskas “Sample” and the other flask as“ Blank.” Fit the condenserin place (Warning: see 7.2 and 7.3). Heat the contents of theflasks to boiling and pipet 50 mL of the saturated NaI isopropylalcohol solution into each.9.2 Continue boiling gently for 10 min. At
19、the end of theboiling period, remove the flasks from the heat source. Rinseeach condenser with two 10-mL portions of water, adding therinsings to the respective flasks. Cool the flasks to roomtemperature. Titrate the liberated iodine in each flask with 0.01N Na2S2O3solution to a light yellow color a
20、nd continue totitrate slowly until the yellow color just disappears.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the peroxide content of the specimens ashydrogen peroxide, in parts per million (mg/kg) as follows:Peroxides, mg/kg 5 A 2 B! 3 N 3 1.7 3 104# / 50 3 C!where:A = total millilitres of Na2S2O3solution requ
