1、Designation: D4755 95 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forFree Halogens in Halogenated Organic Solvents and TheirAdmixtures1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4755; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis
2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of free halogensin halogenated organic solvents and their admi
3、xtures.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Refer
4、enced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1193 Specification for Reagent Water3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Any free halogens present in the halogenated solvent areextracted with water and reacted with potassium iodide testsolution containing starch indicator. A blue color indicates thatpresence of free ha
5、logens.4. Significance and Use4.1 Free halogens will react with any residual moisture in asolvent to form acid. These acids can cause corrosion toprocess and storage equipment used for halogenated solvents.4.2 The presence of free halogens in halogenated solvents isoften an indication that the stabi
6、lizers in the solvent system arebreaking down.4.3 This test method provides a means of detecting thepresence of free halogens in halogenated solvents and theiradmixtures.5. Interferences5.1 The following materials interfere with this test giving afalse positive: ferric ion; phosgene; iodine; oxidizi
7、ng agents;and strong acid (catalyze atmospheric oxidation of the KI).6. Apparatus6.1 Glass-Stoppered Graduate, 25-mL.7. Reagents7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of
8、the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of
9、Water Unless otherwise indicated, refer-ences to water shall be understood to mean reagent waterconforming to Type III of Specification D1193.7.3 Potassium Iodide (KI) Test SolutionDissolve 16.5 g ofpotassium iodide in water to make 100 mL. Store in light-resistant containers.7.4 Starch Test Solutio
10、nMix1gofsoluble starch4with 10mg of red mercuric iodide and sufficient cold water to make athin paste. Add 200 mL of boiling water, and boil for 1 minwith continuous stirring. Cool, and use only the clear solution.8. Procedure8.1 Transfer 10 mL of sample to a glass-stoppered graduateand add 10 mL of
11、 potassium iodide test solution and 1 mL ofstarch indicator solution. Shake vigorously for 2 min andobserve color of the aqueous layer. The presence of freehalogens is indicated by a blue coloration.NOTE 1The potassium iodide solution can generate free iodine via airoxidation. For this reason, the t
12、est procedure should first be performed ona reagent blank (10 mL of potassium iodide and 1 mL of starch). If a faintblue color is observed in the blank, a fresh potassium iodide solutionshould be prepared and a reagent blank retested before proceeding withthe sample solution.1This test method is und

It is not the intent of thisprocedure to provide a test method for determining theconcentration of free halogens.10.2 The lower limit of detection of this test method has notbeen documented by formal precision tests. Detection limit isbelow
