5、he negative logarithm of thehydrogen ion activity.3.1.1.1 DiscussionA solution of pH 7 is neutral at 24C.Lower numbers indicate increasing acidity, higher numbersindicate increasing alkalinity.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The chrome tanning liquor is diluted to a concentrationof 25.0 6 0.5 g chromic
6、 oxide equivalent per litre, allowed tocome to equilibrium and the pH is then measured with theappropriate meter. For general details of a procedure, TestMethod E70 should be consulted. The provisions of thestandard shall be governing except where the text of this testmethod specifically deviates.5.
7、 Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to measure the pH of achrome tanning solution which has been diluted to a specificconcentration. This is considered to be a measure of the acidityor alkalinity of the solution.5.2 This test method is suitable for quality control in themanufacture
8、 of leather.6. Apparatus6.1 pH Meter, either battery or line-operated equipped withappropriate electrodes. The meter shall have a maximum scaledivision of 0.1 pH unit and reproducibility of 0.05 pH unit.NOTE 1Sellers list reasonably priced models having more sensitivityand greater reproducibility.7.
9、 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 the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other g
10、rades 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 WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean distilled water or water ofequal purity
11、.7.3 Buffer SolutionsCommercially available buffer solu-tions of 2.00 6 0.02 pH and 4.00 6 0.02 pH shall be used formeter standardization, in accordance with the manufacturersrecommendations and the provisions set forth in Test MethodE70.8. Standardization8.1 Standardize the meter against the pH 4.0

The standard shall be at a temperature no more than2C different from that at which the meter was standardizedagainst the pH 4.00 standard, and t
17、he temperature compensatorset accordingly.8.3 If the reading of the pH 2.00 buffer does not differ bymore than 0.05 pH from the published value under thetemperature conditions, the standardization is satisfactory andthe meter ready for use. If the error exceeds 0.05 pH, the meterand electrodes must
18、be checked and the necessary adjustmentsmade to obtain conformity.9. Procedure9.1 The sample shall be representative of the chrometanning liquor to be tested. It shall be adjusted to an equivalentchromic oxide concentration of 25.0 6 0.5 g/L (Note 2) andallowed to stand at room temperature for at le
19、ast 60 min beforemeasuring pH in order to attain dilution equilibrium (Note 3).NOTE 2The concentration adjustment shall be based on the analysisof the liquor for chromium as based on Test Method D3898. In most cases,the concentration of the sample will be above 25 g chromic oxide per litreand measur
20、ement of the appropriate quantity of liquor in a graduate orweighed quantity shall be transferred to a 100-mL volumetric flask.Diluting with water at room temperature, will give sufficiently accuratedilution.NOTE 3If the dilution described in Note 2 takes place essentially atroom temperature, the ch
21、ange in pH is sufficiently slight that 60-minequilibration will suffice. If it is necessary to concentrate the solution byboiling, or the original solution was hot, then the diluted sample should beheld at least 24 h before testing, or the pH test may be repeated untilconstant to 0.1 pH are obtained
22、.NOTE 4If measuring the pH of spent chrome tanning solutions, it maybe necessary to remove grease and sediment prior to measurement.9.2 After standardization of the meter (Section 8), rinse theelectrodes three times with water and remove surplus waterwith a soft, nonabrasive tissue. Do not let the e
23、lectrodes dry.Immediately immerse the electrodes in the prepared sample toa depth recommended by the manufacturer, set the temperaturecompensator to the temperature of the solution (25 6 5C),allow the meter to equilibrate, and read the pH to the nearestpH unit of the meter.10.
