17、ariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2005. According to t

EN 14668:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of quaternary ammonium surface active agents in raw materials and formula
20、ted products, defined as being the amount of quaternary ammonium surface active agents expressed in millimoles per 100 g of product. NOTE 1 The applicability in products different than those tested should be checked in each particular case. NOTE 2 In comparison to usual laboratory two-phase titratio
21、n with visual endpoint determination (see ISO 2871-1 and ISO 2871-2) potentiometric titration offers the advantage of automation, operator-dependent differences in recognising the equivalence point can be neglected, and a non-critical solvent replaces the toxicologically critical chloroform. 2 Norma

ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents-Methods of sample division. 3 Principle Quaternary ammonium surface active agents are combined with anionic sur
24、face active agent to form water-insoluble ion pairs which are immediately extracted into a water immiscible organic solvent. This fundamental reaction is the basis for the titration of equivalents of ionic surface active agents with an oppositely charged surface active agent standard volumetric solu
25、tion in the two-phase titration. This process is supported by intensively stirring the two-phase mixture of aqueous solution and organic phase. The potential, which is formed in the emulsion during the titration, is recorded with the help of a special solvent-resistant surface active agent-sensitive
26、 electrode in combination with a silver/silver chloride reference electrode against the amount of titrant added. The equivalence point of the added anionic surface active agent corresponds to that one of the test solution at the inflection point of the titration curve (Annex B). 4 Reagents WARNING Y
27、our attention is drawn to the regulations covering the handling of hazardous substances. Technical, organisational and personal protection measures should be observed. During the analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade that have been checked in advance
28、as to not interfere with the analytical results. 4.1 Water, complying with grade 3 as defined in EN ISO 3696. NOTE If the water is purified via ion-exchange resins, ensure that no cationic or anionic species from the resins cause interference. 4.2 Sodium dodecyl sulfate, C12H25OSO3Na, % (m/m)(C12H25

EN 14668:2005 (E) 5 4.3 Anionic surface active, agent standard volumetric solution, ca(C12H25OSO3Na) = 0,005 mol/l: Weigh 1,455 g of sodium dodecyl sulfate (4.2) with a known active content to the nearest 1 mg in a conical flask and dissolve in
30、 about 500 ml water. Transfer quantitatively the solution into a 1000 ml volumetric flask, make up to the mark with water and mix well. The concentration of the anionic surface active agent standard volumetric solution, ca, expressed in millimoles per millilitre is calculated in accordance with the
31、following equation (1): 100a=Mwmc (1) where m is the mass of sodium dodecyl sulfate (4.2) in grams; w is the active matter content of sodium dodecyl sulfate (4.2) in grams per 100 g; M is the molar mass of sodium dodecyl sulfate, in grams per mole (288,4 g/mol). 4.4 Potassium chloride, solution, c(K

34、ollowing: 5.1 Automatic potentiometric titration apparatus, with drift-controlled data acquisition and dynamic titrimetric dosing equipped with a piston burette delivery system of 20 ml capacity. 5.2 Propeller stirring system In a potentiometric two-phase titration a thorough blending is required. H
35、ence, a stirring propeller is compulsory. The stirrer should be constructed so that an optimal emulsification of the vessel contents is achieved with a simultaneous low degree of air entrapment. Propeller stirrers shaped like ship screws have been proven effective, while magnetic stirrers are not su
36、itable. It is advisable to pay special attention to the geometric arrangement of the immersing parts (electrodes, burette tip, and stirrer). If arranged optimally, no foam is produced, not even with heavy stirring. 1) TEGO Add is the trade name of a product supplied by Metrohm Ltd. (CH-9101 Herisau,
