AB-288 Determination of acidic and alkaline solids by non-aqueous titration  
View picture: Determination of acidic and alkaline solids by non-aqueous titration

The analysis of acids and bases is a well-known basic task in analytical chemistry. With this fully automated system only the sample needs to be taken and weighed in by the user. ProcessLab does the rest autonomously.

For the determination of the acid or base content an automated ProcessLab system is used. Liquid handling of the needed solvents is done using the buret and pumps which ProcessLab provides. Sample identification is done with a barcode reader.


A certain amount of sample is weighed in and the result automatically transferred to tiamo. Depending on the type of sample, tiamo starts and performs an acid or base titration with the corresponding non-aqueous solvent.

View picture: Synthesis of phenyl azonaphthol

The important class of azo dyes comprises more compounds than all other classes of dyes together. The azo compounds form the basis of many dyestuffs and pigments used in the textile, paper and wood industries today.

This Bulletin describes the automated synthesis of phenyl azonaphthol by diazotization of aniline and subsequent azo coupling with 2-naphthol. The 711 Liquino is used to control and monitor the whole process.

AB-269 Titrimetric/potentiometric determination of ionic surfactants by two-phase titration using the Metrosensor Surfactrodes  
View picture: Titrimetric/potentiometric determination of ionic surfactants by two-phase titration using the Metrosensor Surfactrodes
This Bulletin describes the potentiometrically indicated «two-phase titration» of ionic surfactants in raw materials and various formulations using numerous practical examples. Two completely new designs of surfactant electrode, – the Surfactrode Resistant and Surfactrode Refill –, allow you to carry out this type of surfactant titration in s similar way to the classical «Epton titration» and with a high degree of automation.
The results obtained correlate to a high degree with those of the Epton titration. The toxic and environmentally hazardous chloroform can be replaced by alternative solvents such as ethyl isobutyl ketone or n-hexane.
AB-264 Titrimetric methods for the determination of betains  
View picture: Titrimetric methods for the determination of betains

Neither method is suitable for determining the betaine content of formulations. The possibilities and limits of both methods are described and distinctive features and possible sources of interference are mentioned. The Bulletin explains the most important theoretical principles and is intended to help users to develop their own product-specific titration methods.
AB-263 Titrimetric determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients with the NIO electrode  
View picture: Titrimetric determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients with the NIO electrode

The NIO electrode is characterized by the fact that it is selective for both sodium tetraphenylborate (= STPB) and oleophilic molecules. This means that it can be used successfully for the potentiometric indication of titrations in aqueous solution in which STPB is used as the titrant and the species to be titrated has oleophilic properties. This results in ideal S-shaped titration curves.

This Bulletin describes the determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients in raw materials and formulations (tablets, powders, gels, creams, syrups, drops). These titrations are a valuable, environment-friendly alternative to other analytical methods.

AB-251 Polarographic determination of cinchocaine (dibucaine) in pharmaceutical preparations  
View picture: Polarographic determination of cinchocaine (dibucaine) in pharmaceutical preparations
Cinchocaine (dibucaine) is used in the form of ointments or injection solutions as a local anaesthetic. Its base is soluble in diethyl ether; its hydrochloride, on the other hand, is insoluble in diethyl ether but easily soluble in water. This Bulletin describes the determination of cinchocaine in ointments, creams and injection solutions by means of differential pulse polarography. An acetate buffer pH = 4.8 is used as the supporting electrolyte. The limit of quantitation and the linear working range of the method are given. The necessary sample preparation steps are also dealt with in this Bulletin.
AB-230 Titrimetric/potentiometric determination of nonionic surfactants based on polyoxyethylene adducts using the NIO electrode  
View picture: Titrimetric/potentiometric determination of nonionic surfactants based on polyoxyethylene adducts using the NIO electrode
This Bulletin describes the titrimetric determination of nonionic surfactants based on polyoxyethylene adducts (POE adducts). The determination is based on the conversion of the nonionic surfactant into a pseudo-cationic compound, which is determined in a precipitation titration using sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB). A newly developed surfactant electrode, the NIO electrode, is used as the indicator electrode. It has been designed taking into account the characteristics of this titration and therefore yields reliable, fast and efficient determinations. This Bulletin covers determinations in raw materials, formulations and wastewater. Characteristics, possibilities, limitations and interferences are pointed out.

AB-196 Polarographic determination of formaldehyde  
View picture: Polarographic determination of formaldehyde
Formaldehyde can be determined reductively at the DME. Depending on the sample composition it may be possible to determine the formaldehyde directly in the sample. If interferences occur then sample preparation may be necessary, e.g. absorption, extraction, or distillation.
Two methods are described. In the first method formaldehyde is reduced directly in alkaline solution. Higher concentrations of alkaline or alkaline earth metals interfere. In such cases the second method can be applied. Formaldehyde is derivatized with hydrazine forming the hydrazone, which can be measured polarographically in acidic solution.
AB-190 Polarographic determination of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde in terephthalic acid  
View picture: Polarographic determination of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde in terephthalic acid
4-Carboxybenzaldehyde, in the following referred to as 4-CBA, can be reduced directly at the dropping mercury electrode (DME) in an ammoniacal solution. After a very simple sample preparation it is now possible to determine the concentration of 4-CBA in terephthalic acid quickly and precisely by polarography down to the lower ppm range.
AB-179 Polarographic determination of maleic and fumaric acid alone or in mixtures  
View picture: Polarographic determination of maleic and fumaric acid alone or in mixtures
Maleic and fumaric acid can be reduced electrochemically to succinic acid. In acidic solutions a differentiation of the two acids is not possible since both are reduced at the same potential. On the other hand, separation at pH 7.8...8.0 is easily possible since fumaric acid is now more difficult to reduce at the lower proton concentration (as a result of cis-trans isomerism) than maleic acid.
AB-136 Polarographic determination of styrene in polystyrene and copolymers  
View picture: Polarographic determination of styrene in polystyrene and copolymers
This Application Bulletin describes a simple polarographic method to determine monomeric styrene in polymers. The limit of determination lies at 5 mg/L. Before the determination, styrene is converted to the electrochemically active pseudonitrosite using sodium nitrite.
AB-073 Polarographic analysis - half-wave potentials of organic substances  
View picture: Polarographic analysis - half-wave potentials of organic substances

This Bulletin is a supplement to Application Bulletin no. 36 (Half-wave potentials of inorganic substances) in the sense that the half-wave potentials of 100 different organic substances are listed. At the same time the supporting electrolytes used and the limits of determination are given.

The various substances are listed in alphabetical order. The most important polarographically active functional groups are taken into consideration. This means that substances for related structures can also be determined polarographically in the same or similar supporting electrolytes, although they may not appear in the list.

Unless otherwise stated, the half-wave potentials refer to a temperature of 20 °C, and the potentials are given in volts, measured with a sat. KCI-Ag/AgCI electrode assembly.

The determination limits give the smallest concentrations which can be measured without risking serious errors in the results. In all cases, the limit of detection lies below the limit of determination.
