EN 14880:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the
19、content of inorganic sulphate in anionic surface active agents. It can be applied to -olefin sulphonates and n-olefin sulphonates, alcohol sulphates, alcohol ether sulphates, alkyl benzene sulphonates and other alkyl sulphonates. This method is used also for the determination of inorganic sulphate i
20、n alkyl benzene sulphonates or other alkyl sulphonates in their acid form. This method also applies to deep-coloured samples. NOTE Sulphate can be present as sulphuric acid, ionic salts of this acid or mixture of these. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for
21、the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

22、SO 607, Surface active agents and detergents Methods of sample division 3 Principle Potentiometric titration of the test sample containing inorganic sulphate is performed in non-aqueous medium with a lead nitrate standard volumetric solution. The reaction is the following: +342423NO2PbSOSO)NO(Pb Lea
23、d sulphate precipitate is formed during the titration and the non-aqueous medium decreases its solubility. Nitric acid is added to remove possible interference from carbonates. The endpoint is related to an increase in lead ion activity, as measured by a lead-selective electrode. 4 Reagents During t
24、he analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognised analytical grade that have been checked in advance 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
25、 no cationic or anionic species from the resins cause interference. 4.2 Nitric acid, solution c(HNO3) = 1 mol/l. 4.3 Lead nitrate standard volumetric solution, c(Pb(NO3)2) = 0,01 mol/l. Weigh 3,312 g of lead nitrate, previously dried at 150 C in a vacuum oven, dissolve in water, by using a small bea
26、ker. Quantitatively transfer the solution into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and add water up to the mark. 4.4 Lead nitrate standard volumetric solution, c(Pb(NO3)2) = 0,005 mol/l. Weigh 1,656 g of lead nitrate, previously dried at 150 C in a vacuum oven, dissolve in water, by using a small beaker. Qu
27、antitatively transfer the solution into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and add water up to the mark. EN 14880:2005 (E) 5 4.5 Potassium sulphate solution, c(K2SO4) = 0,01 mol/l. Weigh approximately 1,74 g (m) of K2SO4, previously dried in an oven at 180 C, dissolve with water in a 1 000 ml volumetric fl
28、ask, make up to the mark and homogenize. Calculate the factor, f, of the solution, according to the Equation (1): 7425,1mf = (1) where m is the mass of potassium sulphate weighted, in grams; 1,742 5 is the mass, in grams, of 0,01 mole of potassium sulphate K2SO4. 4.6 Propan-2-ol (C3H8O) 5 Apparatus
29、Ordinary laboratory apparatus and the following: 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 Lead-selective electrode (Metrohm 6.0502.1701), or similar).
30、5.3 Reference electrode Ag/AgCl filled with a saturated sodium nitrate ethanolic solution. 6 Sampling and preparation of the test solution 6.1 Sampling The laboratory sample shall be taken and stored in accordance with ISO 607. 6.2 Preparation of the test solution For non-homogeneous products, it wi
31、ll be better to dissolve a large sample (for example 5 g) in a suitable solvent (for example propan-2-ol/water) and take an aliquot for the titration. Exactly weigh, in a 150 ml beaker, a quantity of the sample (m0) so as to consume a maximum of 10 ml of Pb(NO3)2solution (4.3 or 4.4) during the titr
32、ation (typically, the mass is in the range 0,3 g to 1 g). 7 Procedure 7.1 Standardisation of the lead nitrate standard volumetric solution Pipette 5,00 ml of the potassium sulphate solution (4.5) into a 150 ml beaker. Add approximately 1 ml of nitric acid solution (4.2) and 100 ml of propan-2-ol (4.
33、6). 1) Metrohm 6.0502.170 is the trade name of instruments supplied by Metrohm ltd. (CH-9101 Herisau, Switzerland). This information is given for the convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of these instruments named. EN 14880:2005 (E) 6 Prepare t
34、he potentiometer (5.1) for operation, immerse the electrodes in the solution and stir by using the electromagnetic stirrer. Titrate with the lead nitrate volumetric solution (4.3 or 4.4). Record the reagent consumption, V2, at the inflection point of the titration curve. NOTE An example for instrume
35、nt settings and a titration curve are given in Annex A. Run the standardization in triplicates. The concentration of the lead nitrate standard volumetric solution, ca, expressed in moles per litre is calculated in accordance with the following Equation (2): 21VfcVca=(2) where V1is the volume of pota
36、ssium sulphate solution (4.5), in millilitres; c is the concentration of the lead nitrate solution, in moles per litre; f is the factor of the potassium sulphate solution determined according to 4.5; V2is the average volume of lead nitrate standard volumetric solution used in the titration, in milli
37、litres. NOTE In alternative, a solution of sulphuric acid, c(H2SO4)= 0,01 mol/l, can be used to standardize the lead nitrate solution. In this case the sulphuric acid solution can be prepared diluting in the suitable ratio a standard reagent. 7.2 Determination If the expected sulphate content is low
38、er than 1% m/m, use the Pb(NO3)2, c(Pb(NO3)2)= 0,005 mol/l for the titration, otherwise use the Pb(NO3)2, c(Pb(NO3)2)= 0,01 mol/l. Exactly weigh, in a 150 ml beaker, a quantity of the sample (m0) so as to consume a maximum of 10 ml of Pb(NO3)2 standard volumetric solution during the titration. NOTE
39、Weighing more than 1g of surfactant should be avoided because the electrical behaviour of the ion-selective electrode is strongly dependent on the surfactant concentration and could give bad potentiometric curves. Approximately 1 ml of nitric acid solution (4.2) and 100 ml of propan-2-ol (4.6) shoul
40、d be added. The solution should be acidic (lower than pH 3) before titration. If 1 ml of nitric acid solution (4.2) is not sufficient to achieve this, more acid should be added. Prepare the potentiometer (5.1) for operation, immerse the electrodes in the solution and stir by using the electromagneti
41、c stirrer. Titrate with the lead nitrate volumetric solution (4.3 or 4.4). Record the reagent consumption, V, at the inflection point of the titration curve Clean the ion-selective electrode tip before each titration by using a soft cloth or paper together with propan-2-ol.

42、culation and expression of results The content of inorganic sulphate in the sample, cb, expressed in percent by mass of sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) is calculated according to the Equation (3): 1004,1420=mVccab(3) where m0is the mass of the test sample, in grams; cais the concentration of the lead nitra
43、te standard volumetric solution , in moles per litre; V is the average volume consumption of lead nitrate standard volumetric solution. NOTE The value 142,04 is the molecular mass of Na2SO4in grams. 9 Precision 9.1 Repeatability limit The absolute difference between two independent single test resul

48、 parameters are the settings for the automatic potentiometric titration apparatus and are intended to act as a guideline, only (see Table A.1). The titration is carried out with dynamic dosing.
