1、BRITISH STANDARD BS 6392-1: 1983 Incorporating Amendment No. 1 Testing of ethanol for industrial use Part 1: Method for detection of alkalinity or determination of acidity to phenolphthalein NOTEIt is recommended that this Part be read in conjunction with the information given in the “General introd

UDC 661.722:543.241BS6392-1:1983 This British Standard, having been prepared under the directionof the Chemicals Standards Committee, was published under the authority ofthe Board of BSI and comesintoeffect on 31August1983 BSI 12-1999 The Committees responsi

4、 Part 2 “Detection of alkalinity or determination of acidity to phenolphthalein”, published in1981by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). For ease of production, the text of ISO1388-2:1981, with the omission of the Annex, has been used for this British Standard. Some terminology
5、 and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. This standard describes
6、 a method only and should not be used as a specification defining limits of purity. Reference to the standard should indicate that the method of test used is in accordance with BS6392-1. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Stand
7、ards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

10、escribes a method for the detection of alkalinity and, if appropriate, the subsequent determination of acidity of ethanol for industrial use. The method is applicable to products having acidities, expressed as acetic acid (CH 3 COOH), greater than or equal to0,0008% (m/m). NOTEThe title of the publi
11、cation referred to in this standard is given on the inside back cover. 2 Principle Dilution of a test portion with carbon dioxide-free water. Checking whether the test solution is alkaline or acid to phenolphthalein, and, if appropriate, determination of the acidity by titration with standard volume
12、tric sodium hydroxide solution. 3 Reagents During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled water or water of equivalent purity, carbon dioxide-free, recently prepared. 3.1 Water, carbon dioxide-free. Boil distilled water and allow it to cool in a flask fitted with
13、 a stopper carrying a soda-lime guard-tube. 3.2 Sodium hydroxide, standard volumetric solution, c(NaOH)=0,1mol/l. 3.3 Phenolphthalein,5g/l ethanolic solution. Dissolve0,5g of phenolphthalein in100ml of95%(V/V) ethanol and add the sodium hydroxide solution (3.2) until a pale pink coloration is obtain

15、2 Determination Place100ml of the water (3.1) in the conical flask(4.1), add0,5ml of the phenolphthalein solution (3.3) and, if necessary, restore the pale pink coloration by the addition of a few drops of the sodium hydroxide solution (3.2). Add the test portion (5.1) and a further0,5ml of the phen
16、olphthalein solution (3.3) and note whether the solution is alkaline; if acid, titrate the test solution with the sodium hydroxide solution (3.2), stoppering the flask and swirling its contents after each addition, until a pink coloration, persisting for about15s, is obtained. Shake the contents of
17、the flask, with the stopper in position, after each addition of sodium hydroxide solution. 6 Expression of results 6.1 Alkaline products Indicate whether the product is alkaline to phenolphthalein. 6.2 Acidic products The acidity, expressed as a percentage by mass of acetic acid (CH 3 COOH), is give
