6.3.5 "TAN-TBN"
Determination of the acid number according to ASTM D 5664-95 resp. of the base number accord-
ing to ASTM D 2896-88.
Electrodes: 6.0102.102 pH glass electrode at measuring input 1 ("Ind I")
6.0729.100 Ag/AgCl reference electrode (outer elektrolyte solution LiCl in sat. etha-
nol) at measuring input 2 (Ind II")
6.0301.100 Pt-Electrode at measuring input "Ref"
Differential input
Optional a Solvotrode can be used, in this case select
meas.input: 1 in the method.
TAN 6.0229.100 Solvotrode at measuring input 1 ("Ind I")
6.2320.000 elektrolyte c(TEA-Br) = 0.4 mol/L in ethylene glycol
TBN 6.0229.100 Solvotrode at measuring input 1 ("Ind I")
6.2312.000 elektrolyte diluted 1:1 with ethanol (
ca. 2 mol/L LiCl in ethanol)
TAN titrant: c(KOH) = 0.1 mol/L in isopropanol/methanol (e.g. Merck No. 105544).
TBN titrant: c(HClO
4
) = 0.1 mol/L in acetic acid.
TAN solvent: toluene/isopropanol/H
2
O 500:495:5
TBN solvent: acetic acid/toluene 1:1
Sample: 0.1 – 10 g sample in 50 – 125 mL solvent.
Remarks:
- Store glass electrode in dist. water over
night. Before titrating, brecondition it in
solvent during 10…30 min.
- ASTM requires an equilibration time of 100
s between volume increments. In most
cases it is possible to titrata with shorter
equilibration times.
- If fix end points are evaluated, the voltage
value to be set has to be determined with
buffers.
Reference:
METROHM Application Bulletin Nr. 80:
Differential potentiometry, see page 155.
Makes sure that the sum value is evaluated.
– Result in mg KOH per g sample
– Sample size in g
– Consumption of blank sample in mL
– Normality of the titrant (0.1*titer)
– Molar mass of KOH
