Abstract:
Bromine number and bromine index have been used to measure olefin activity in hydrocarbons. The legacy method for bromine number was imprecise due to an inexact end point detection. A back titration method was developed which uses a precise potentiometric redox inflection for more consistent results. The method for back titration of bromine number is in process for ASTM approval. In this presentation the back titration for bromine number and corresponding back titration method for bromine index are described. Parties interested in participating in ILS are requested to volunteer.
