Abstract:
Titration is considered a fast and economical technique to evaluate a broad scope of analytes. However, getting good results can be challenging when samples are oily, difficult to dissolve, or require indirect measurement. Thermometric titration improves upon this technique by using a sensor that detects small enthalpy change – a universal property of chemical reactions. Improved Acid Number (AN) methods have already been developed and adopted by ASTM. In this talk, learn how thermometric titration works and how it will be the future for improving other difficult titration methods.
