Sulfate Content in Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate by Precipitation Titration
by Precipitation Titration
Titration Application
Titration:
Sulfate content is determined by precipitation
Depending on the chain length of the ethoxy (EO) titration using lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 as a titrant to
unit i.e. CH3-CH2-O- in its molecular structure, form insoluble PbSO4 in a non-aqueous solution.
SLES may be a more or less viscous liquid: The titration is monitored with a lead selective
electrode with solid state membrane [3].
T5 Titration Excellence with InMotion Flex – This fully automated system allows for automated sulfate content determination of multiple samples.
The whole system is controlled by the LabX software.
Comments
The sensor is first conditioned according to the operating instructions.
For a quick check of the sensor, ca. 0.03-0.09 g sodium sulfate has been dissolved in 50 mL deionized
water and titrated with 0.05 M Pb(NO3)2 after acidifying with 0.1 M HCl
