Petroleum products and other liquids — Ethanol — Determination of total acidity by potentiometric titration

ISO 17315:2014 specifies a test method for the determination of total acidity of ethanol by potentiometric titration. The total acidity is reported as acetic acid mass, in milligrams, per ethanol volume, in litres, or as mass percent of acetic acid (% m/m), if the density of ethanol is known.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers

to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

Introduction

Diluted hydrous solutions of organic acids, e.g. acetic acid, can corrode many materials. Thus, it is

necessary to determine and keep at low values the acid content in the final product.

An ethanol sample can have organic acids from the productive process, from its handling, contained in

additives, or due to sample degradation or contamination. The relative content of those components can

be determined by titration with a strong alkaline solution.

The numeric result of total acidity is a measure of the amount of acid components in the sample. Total

acidity is used as a quality control parameter of final product to prevent long-run corrosion problems.

For this reason, final product obtained from a blend of ethanol and other fuels has to have a limited

acidity.

Petroleum products and other liquids — Ethanol —
Determination of total acidity by potentiometric titration

WARNING — The use of this International Standard can involve hazardous materials. This

International Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its

use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate

safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1 Scope

This International Standard specifies a test method for the determination of total acidity of ethanol by

potentiometric titration. The total acidity is reported as acetic acid mass, in milligrams, per ethanol

volume, in litres, or as mass percent of acetic acid (% m/m), if the density of ethanol is known.

NOTE 1 For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms “% m/m” and “% v/v” are used to represent

the mass fraction and the volume fraction of a material, respectively.

NOTE 2 This method was evaluated with ethanol samples with different water contents (0,7 % m/m and 7 %

m/m) and acidity values (5 mg to 50 mg HAc per litre of sample).
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
total acidity

amount of acids contained in the ethanol sample, calculated as acetic acid, determined by potentiometric

titration with a strong alkaline solution, as given in this International Standard

3 Reagents and materials

3.1 Deionized water, with a maximum conductivity of 1 μS/cm, Grade 2 or equivalent.

3.2 Potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC H O ), standard grade.
8 4 4
3.3 Solution of lithium chloride (LiCl) in ethanol, 1 mol/l to 3 mol/l.
3.4 Buffer solution, with pH 4 and pH 7.

NOTE The above values of pH are only indicative. The values shown on the buffer certificates are those which

are intended to be used in the analysis.

3.5 Hydrochloric acid solution (HCl), 1,0 mol/l, a solution prepared in accordance with the following

or a commercially available standardized hydrochloric acid solution of equivalent concentration.

— In order to prepare HCl, 1,0 mol/l, transfer (84,0 ± 0,5) ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid

(37 % v/v) to a 1 000 ml volumetric flask containing about its half capacity of water (3.1). Complete

the volume and homogenize the solution. Stock the solution in an amber flask at a temperature

below 25 °C.
— This solution has a 6 mo shelf life.
