7、terD3049 Test Method for Synthetic Anionic Ingredient byCationic Titration3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Quaternary ammonium compounds present in fabricsofteners, as the active materials, are titrated potentiometricallyin an aqueous medium with a standard solution of sodiumlauryl sulfate using a nitra
8、te ion-selective electrode. In thispotentiometric titration, the reaction involves the formation ofa complex between the quaternary ammonium compound andthe anionic surfactant which then precipitates.At the end point,the nitrate ion electrode appears to respond to an excess oftitrant with a potentia
9、l change large enough to give a welldefined inflection in the titration curve. Alternatively thequaternary ammonium compound can be first complexed withan excess of standard sodium lauryl sulfate; the excess sodiumlauryl sulfate is titrated potentiometrically with standardHyamine 1622.34.
