Titration Methods
Titration is a chemical technique used to determine the concentration of a solution. In titration, a solution of known concentration is added to a solution of unknown concentration until a reaction occurs, at which point the concentration of the unknown solution can be calculated.
Available Titration Instruments
- Aquamax KF Plus - ASTM D6304 in-lab and on-site water determination
- Aquamax KF PRO Oil- Water Determination in Oil Samples
- AQUA 40.00 - Basic Module
- AQUA 40.00 - Vario Headspace Module
- Volumetric KF Titrator
- TAN/TBN Titrator
Titration Techniques
There are various techniques of titration, some of the most commonly used are:
- Volumetric Titration: In this technique, a solution of known concentration, called the titrant, is added to a solution of unknown concentration until the reaction between the two is complete. Volumetric titration is commonly used for acid-base titrations and is the basis for many other titration methods.
- Karl Fischer Titration: This technique is used to determine the amount of water in a sample. It involves the use of a specialized titrant, called Karl Fischer reagent, which reacts with water to produce a titratable species. Karl Fischer titration is commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and petrochemical industries.
- TAN/TBN Titration: This technique is used to determine the total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) of a sample. It involves the use of a specialized titrant that reacts with acidic and basic species in the sample to produce a titratable species. TAN/TBN titration is commonly used in the lubricant and oil industries.
Conclusion
Titration is a widely used technique for determining the concentration of a solution. Various instruments and techniques are available to suit different applications, from in-lab to on-site and in-process measurements. It is important to choose the appropriate titration method for a given application to ensure accurate and reliable results.
The Aquamax KF Plus is a coulometric Karl Fischer titrator used for determining water content in various substances. It is a reliable and accurate instrument that comes with several features, including: The Aquamax KF PRO Oil is a coulometric Karl Fischer titrator designed for determining water content in petroleum products, lubricating oils, and additives. It is equipped with a temperature ramping program that separates free and chemically bonded water, ensuring high accuracy results. The device also features a closed-loop carrier gas circulation system that minimizes interference side reactions caused by additives or sulfur/mercaptans. The AQUA 40.00 Basic Module is a device used for water determination in liquids and gases. It features user-friendly handling, fast and reproducible analyses, and can be used with all common Karl Fischer reagents. The AQUA 40.00 Basic Module can be expanded to the AQUA 40.00 Vario for water determination in all sample types using headspace technology. Additional modules are also available for different sample types. The AQUA 40.00 with Vario Head Space Module is a device used for analysis without sample preparation. It has a measuring range of 1 g - 100 mg and a resolution of 0.1 μg. The device has a reproducibility of 3 μg for 10...1000 μg and 3% for > 1 mg. It can operate in a temperature range of 35 °C to 300 °C and has a power input of 250 W. The device comes in two versions: The AQUA 40.00 with Vario Head Space Module is manufactured by ECH Elektrochemie Halle GmbH in Germany and is suitable for use in the laboratory, mobile, on-line, and process applications. Karl Fischer (KF) titration, as well as the reagents and equipment needed for the procedure. However, it does not specifically mention the Volumetric KF Titrator. A Volumetric KF Titrator is a type of titration instrument used for determining the water content in a sample. It works by adding a known amount of KF reagent to the sample, which reacts with any water present. The amount of KF reagent needed to fully react with the water is then measured, and the water content of the sample can be calculated. Volumetric KF Titrators typically consist of: the Titramax VT TAN/TBN, an automatic volumetric titrator used for the determination of TAN/TBN value in oil samples.
