1、Designation: D 5559 95 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Acidity as Free Fatty Acids/Acid Number inthe Absence of Ammonium or Triethanolamine Soaps inSulfonated and Sulfated Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5559; the number immediately following the
2、designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers t
3、he determination of the acidityas free fatty acids existing in a sample of sulfonated or sulfatedoil, or both, by titrating the sample dissolved in a solvent. It isnot applicable in the presence of ammonium or triethanolaminesoaps or salts or other compounds that do not react neutral tophenolphthale
4、in when dissolved in alcohol.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 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
5、practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 This test method is intended for use in the determinationof the acidity as free fatty acids in the absence of ammoniumor triethanolamine soaps in sulfonated and sulfated oils for thepurpose o
6、f quality assurance.3. Apparatus and Reagents3.1 Alcohol-Ether MixtureMix 50 mL of neutral alcoholwith 25 mL of ether.3.2 Phenolphthalein Indicator Solution (10 g/L)Dissolve1 g of phenolphthalein in 100 mL of ethanol (95 %).3.3 Sodium Hydroxide, Standard Solution (0.5 N)Prepare and standardize a 0.5
7、 N solution of sodium hydroxide(NaOH). Potassium hydroxide (KOH) may be substituted forNaOH.4. Procedure4.1 The procedure consists of titrating a solution of thesample in a mixture of alcohol and ether in the presence ofphenolphthalein indicator. Dissolve 10 g of the sample in analcohol-ether mixtur
8、e, add five drops of phenolphthalein indi-cator solution, and titrate the solution with 0.5 N NaOH orKOH solution until the pink color persists after vigorousshaking.5. Calculation5.1 Calculate the acidity as free fatty acids, as follows:K 5 C 3 E!/W (1)or% free fatty acids 5 0.503 3 K (2)where:K =
9、acid number, mg of KOH/g,C = mL of NaOH or KOH solution required for titrationof the sample,E = strength of NaOH or KOH solution, mg of KOH/mL,andW = weight of sample, g.6. Precision and Bias6.1 This test method is adopted from the procedures of theAmerican Leather ChemistsAssociation where it has l
10、ong beenin use and was approved for publication before the inclusion ofprecision and bias statements was mandated. The originalinterlaboratory test data are no longer available. The user iscautioned to verify by the use of reference materials, ifavailable, that the precision and bias (or reproducibi
11、lity) of thistest method is adequate for the contemplated use.7.
