Determination of the concentration of alkaline cleaners in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and aluminum (Al).
All alkaline cleaning solutions or "stack solutions" that contain dissolved aluminum (Al3+) and/or soda (Na2CO3) in addition to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a cleaning component.
The sodium hydroxide bound as aluminate and titrated in the p-value determination is calculated by subsequent determination of the aluminum and deducted, as it is no longer available for purification.
The aluminum determination itself is based on the reaction between aluminum hydroxide and sodium fluoride, in which sodium hydroxide is released and thus serves as a measure for calculating the aluminum.
Carbonates interfering with the titration are precipitated with Ba2+ ions.
Malt intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
The aliquot of an extract of malt is added to a buffered starch solution and allowed to stand for exactly 30 min at 20 °C. Then, the maltose – formed primarily from the starch through the action of the β-amylase – is measured using iodine and is determined according to the following chemical reaction:
The method describes how to determine the free and total chlorine content using a titrimetric method with DPD.
The analysis involves a reaction with N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPD), which forms a compound possessing a red color at a pH of 6.2–6.5. The solution is titrated with an ammonium iron(II) sulfate standard solution until the red color disappears. Total chlorine is measured through the addition of potassium iodide, of which a known amount in excess of that required is added to the solution in advance.
The method describes how to determine the amount of chlorine dioxide in water with the titrimetric method.
Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods
The analysis involves a reaction with N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPD), which forms a compound possessing a red color at a pH of 6.2–6.5. In this reaction, chlorine dioxide is reduced to a single chlorite ion. The solution is titrated with an ammonium iron(II) sulfate solution until the red color disappears. The chlorine dioxide concentration in the water sample is calculated on the basis of the quantity of ammonium iron(II) sulfate solution consumed in the titration. The formation of the red color due to the addition of DPD can take place in the presence of other compounds other than chlorine dioxide. The oxidation reaction can be brought about by any oxidizing agent and is dependent upon the redox potential and the concentration of the solution.
Determination of the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages through titrimetry (dimensional analysis)
This method is suitable for determining the dissolved carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages for concentrations ranging from 0 to 8.4 g/l.
Through the addition of a sodium hydroxide solution, the carbon dioxide in beer becomes bound as sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium carbonate. Sulfuric acid is added to an aliquot of the beer treated with sodium hydroxide. This causes the carbon dioxide to be released again, after which a stream of air conducts the carbon dioxide into a barium hydroxide solution. Through titration of the excess barium hydroxide, the carbon dioxide content of the beer can be determined [1].
Determination of the concentration of alkaline cleaners on quicklime (CaO) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) without soda (Na2CO3).
Determination of the quicklime (CaO) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) content of the detergent solution with an acid solution (HCl or H2SO4) with corresponding equivalent concentration (normality) up to the color change of phenolphthalein (pH 8.2).
