Surface active agents - Determination of inorganic sulphate content in anionic surface active agents - Potentiometric lead selective electrode titration method

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of inorganic sulphate in anionic surface active agents. It can be applied to a-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 in 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.

active agents”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by February 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by February 2006.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of inorganic sulphate in anionic
surface active agents. It can be applied to α-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 in 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 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.
EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use – Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987)
ISO 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:
2− −
Pb(NO ) + SO → PbSO ↓+2NO
3 2 4 4 3
Lead 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 the 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 no cationic or anionic species from the resins cause
interference.
4.2 Nitric acid, solution c(HNO ) = 1 mol/l.
4.3 Lead nitrate standard volumetric solution, c(Pb(NO ) ) = 0,01 mol/l.
3 2
Weigh 3,312 g of lead nitrate, previously dried at 150 °C in a vacuum oven, dissolve in water, by using a small
beaker. 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(NO ) ) = 0,005 mol/l.
3 2
Weigh 1,656 g of lead nitrate, previously dried at 150 °C in a vacuum oven, dissolve in water, by using a small
beaker. Quantitatively transfer the solution into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and add water up to the mark.
4.5 Potassium sulphate solution, c(K SO ) = 0,01 mol/l.
2 4
Weigh approximately 1,74 g (m) of K SO , previously dried in an oven at 180 °C, dissolve with water in a 1 000 ml
2 4
volumetric flask, make up to the mark and homogenize.
Calculate the factor, f, of the solution, according to the Equation (1):
m
f= (1)
1,7425
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 K SO .
