EN 1890:2006 (E) 4 Introduction Solutions of non-ionic surface active agents obtained by the reaction of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base molecule, in water or in mixture
20、s of water and organic solvents become turbid at a given temperature as the temperature increases and finally separate into two liquid phases. The process is reversible and the system becomes homogeneous again upon cooling. The temperature at which the solution becomes clear upon cooling is determin
21、ed as the “cloud point“. This temperature is characteristic for a particular surfactant. This temperature increases with the amount of ethylene oxide chemically combined in the surfactant molecule for a given composition of solvents. This phenomenon is not limited to ethoxylated surfactants and the
22、cloud point can be determined also for other non-ionic compounds. The knowledge of the cloud point of non-ionic surfactants obtained by the reaction of ethylene oxide with hydrophobic bases is important for their use. For a given base molecule, the cloud point is indeed a simple measure of the amoun
23、t of the combined ethylene oxide. Moreover, the cloud point suggests directly the temperature at which many functional surfactant properties change dramatically. The curve of cloud point versus degree of ethoxylation is asymptotic; therefore molecules containing high amounts of ethylene oxide show o
24、nly small differences in their cloud point. In these cases the cloud point loses its significance. EN 1890:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies methods for the determination of the cloud point of solutions of non-ionic surface active agents obtained by the reaction of ethylene oxide with a hyd
25、rophobic base molecule. This document primarily applies to surfactants obtained by reaction of ethylene oxide with hydrophobic base molecules, such as fatty alcohols, fatty acids, long-chain alkylphenols, fatty amines, fatty acid esters of sugar derivatives among other ethoxylated non-ionic surfacta
26、nts, which are by far the most commonly used. NOTE Other non-ionic surfactants containing other structural units, such as propylene oxide-ethylene oxide block copolymers, have distinctive behaviours that make the determination of the cloud point more difficult. This leads sometimes to a continuous t
27、urbidity over a temperature range of several degrees or even to the occurrence of two cloud points at significantly different temperatures. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited a
28、pplies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 862:1995, Surface active agents - Vocabulary - Trilingual version (ISO 862:1984/Cor 1:1993). EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3

ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents Methods of sample division. 3 Terms and Definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 862:1995 and the following apply. 3.1 cloud temperature temperature above which aqueous solutions of certain non-i
30、onic surface active agents become heterogeneous by the separation into two liquid phases (coacervation) EN ISO 862:1995 NOTE 1 The value of the cloud temperature depends on the concentration of the solution. NOTE 2 The temperature at which the system becomes homogeneous upon cooling is called “tempe
31、rature of clarification”. The cloud temperature and the temperature of clarification do not need to coincide for reasons concerned with the measurement procedure. However, for practical reasons, the temperature of clarification is conventionally called the “cloud point”. 3.2 cloud point critical low
32、er phase-separation temperature (lower consolute temperature) above which the system is a cloudy solution and a further temperature rise results in two immiscible phases that are in equilibrium NOTE 1 The cloud point is measured as the temperature falls. NOTE 2 The cloud point depends on the number
33、of ethylene oxide units linked to the base molecule and on their statistical distribution. It is also very sensitive to the presence of electrolytes and other organic substances in the aqueous solution. Therefore it should operate under well established conditions. 3.3 temperature of clarification t
34、emperature at which the mixture of two liquid phases of aqueous solution of certain non-ionic surface active agents exhibiting a cloud temperature, becomes homogeneous on cooling EN ISO 862:1995 NOTE The temperature of clarification is often determined as “cloud point“. EN 1890:2006 (E) 6 4 Principl
35、e The surfactant solution is heated until it is completely cloudy. Then it is slowly cooled with constant stirring while measuring the temperature. The temperature at which the turbidity disappears and the solution becomes homogeneous is recorded as the cloud point. Depending on the nature of the su
36、rfactant and the purity of the materials the solution can become completely clear or slightly opalescent but in this case a definite change from the cloudy solution is observed. 5 Reagents During the test, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade. 5.1 Water according
37、 to grade 3 in EN ISO 3696 or water of at least equivalent purity. 5.2 Diethylene glycol mono-n-butylether (special quality) C4H9-O-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-OH (also commercially known as butyldiglycol). 5.2.1 Specifications The butyldiglycol (BDG) shall have the following: minimum purity : 99 % (m/m) (GC)
38、; density at 20 C : (0,953 0,002) g/ml ; refractive index : nD20= (1,432 0,001); water content : 0,1 % (m/m). NOTE Impurities present in diethylene glycol mono-n-butylether and differences in concentration of its 25 % as mass fraction aqueous solution affect the cloud point to some extent. For arbit
39、ration purposes samples of diethylene glycol mono-n-butylether shall be exchanged between laboratories. 5.2.2 Butyldiglycol/water, solution at 25 % (m/m). Dissolve 250 g of butyldiglycol (5.2.1) with 750 g of water. 5.3 Sodium chloride aqueous solutions 5.3.1 50,00 g NaCl per litre solution in water
40、. 5.3.2 100,00 g NaCl per litre solution in water. 6 Apparatus Normal laboratory apparatus and the following: 6.1 Calibrated thermometer, graduated in 0,1 C, with a range appropriate to the temperature to be measured or a calibrated electronic measuring instrument with digital display. 6.2 Conical f
41、lask, capacity 250 ml, with glass or plastic stopper or other suitable vessel. 6.3 Test tube, capacity at least 30 ml, with a good temperature endurance. 6.4 Conventional heating appliance, for example Bunsen burner, hand-held hot air blower or thermostated oil bath. EN 1890:2006 (E) 7 7 Preparation
42、 and storage of samples Prepare and store the sample of the surface active agent in accordance with ISO 607. 8 Procedure 8.1 Selection of test method Five methods of cloud point determination are described; select from those given in 8.2 to 8.6, the most appropriate method for the particular surfact
43、ant under test, depending upon the temperature at which the solution of the test sample becomes turbid. NOTE The temperature at which the solution of a surfactant becomes turbid depends on the ethylene oxide content (see Figure 1). The choice between methods A, B, C, D and E is based on the sharpnes
44、s of the cloud point and the sensitivity of the method. It should be noted that the methods B and C and methods D and E will produce different cloud point results and so the method used should be fully noted when reporting any results.

Weigh 1,0 g of the sample (see clause 7) to the nearest 0,01 g into the conical fla
47、sk (6.2), add 100 g of water, stopper the flask and stir until the sample has dissolved to form a clear solution. Pour about 15 ml to 25 ml of this solution into the test tube (6.3). Put the thermometer (6.1) into the tube and heat with a heating appliance (6.4) under slow stirring with the thermome
48、ter until it is completely opaque. NOTE 2 The opacity appears as bands, which thicken, and results in turbidity. The temperature of the solution should not exceed by more than 10 C the temperature at which the opacity appears. Allow to cool slowly in the air while stirring. Read the temperature at w
49、hich the opaque bands disappear. Repeat the determination, using a fresh solution, until at least two results differ from each other by not more than 0,5 C. NOTE 3 A fresh solution is used to avoid loss of water due to evaporation. 8.3 Method B : Salt solution of NaCl at 50 g/l NOTE Method B is used when an aqueous solution of 1 g of sample plus 100 g of water becomes turbid at a temperature above 90 C. Weigh 1,0 g of the sample (see clause 7) to the nearest 0,01 g into the conical flask (6.
