Types of water A Karl Fischer Titration is only possible if water is freely available Solids contain water as : Water Example: Food Entrapped water Crystal water Surface water Capillary bound water Example: Salt Ca 2 SO 4 * 2 H 2 O (gypsum) Water Example: Sugar, pharmaceuticals Water Example: Biological samples 5
Types of sample preparation Ways of releasing water : Dissolve the sample in a solvent Crush the sample Extract water with a solvent Evaporate water by heating 6
Volumetric / Coulometric Titration Volumetric Karl Fischer Iodine is added by a burette during titration. Water as a major component: 100 ppm - 100 % - + Coulometric Karl Fischer Iodine is electrochemically generated during titration. Water in trace amounts: 1 ppm - 5 % 7
Repeatability 100 % 10 % 1 % 1000 ppm 100 ppm 10 ppm 1 ppm Coulometry Not suitable for coulometry srel < 0.5 % srel 5-0.5 % srel > 5 % Volumetry srel < 0.5 % srel 5-0.5 % srel > 5 % Not suitable for volumetry 8
Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration Principle Generator electrode Sensor electrode Cathode Anode + double platinum pin electrode Catholyte Ceramic diaphragm Anolyte 9
Coulometric Karl Fischer Titration With or without diaphragm + I - - I Iodine is only present in the anode compartment and reacts with water. I - - I - I I - + It is possible that iodine molecules diffuse to the cathode and convert to iodide ions. 10
Stromboli Oven with automatic sample changer for Karl Fischer Titration Temperature range from 50 300 C Automated titration of up to 14 solid or liquid samples Easy sample handling Unique sample processing Automatic control with V30 / C30 / T70 / T90 Automated drift and blank determination Useful optional accessories 11
Easy sample handling Unique sample processing To titration cell Gas & water dry carrier gas oven Sample vial The vial is introduced into the oven by a lift. The aluminum foil is penetrated by the glass capillary. Sample Heating from the bottom Moisture is transferred with dry carrier gas via the outlet into the titration cell. 12

Methods for Water Determination Drying oven Dry sample in a drying oven at higher temperature until the weight is constant. Advantages: Large number of samples. Large sample size possible. Disadvantages: Long measurement time (some hours) Large amount of manual effort. Other volatile substances vaporize. 14
Methods for Water Determination Drying oven Dry sample by IR or halogen heater on a balance until the weight is constant. HB43 Halogen Moisture Analyzer Advantages: Simple operation. Short measurement time (5 15 minutes) Disadvantages: Single sample at a time. Other volatile substances vaporize. Decomposition of the sample. 15
Methods for Water Determination Karl Fischer Titration Fast (1... 2 minutes) Selective for water Accurate and precise Wide measuring range (ppm - 100 %) 16
Solvent Manager Compact KF titrators External device for KF liquid handling Includes strong air pump (diaphragm pump) and electromagnetic valve Fully controlled by the titrator On top of waste bottle Drain and fill titration cell without getting in contact with solvents! 17
