Dedication of water content material in ketones with Karl Fischer reagents might be tough. Facet reactions from the alcohol present in most KF reagents can result in incorrect outcomes – much more so when performing coulometric Karl Fischer titration. Alcohol-free KF reagents permit the water content material to be decided in ketones by way of a special pathway and stoichiometric ratio with the Bunsen response. Honeywell’s Hydranal™ NEXTGEN FA reagents are alcohol free and comprise a stabilizer to suppress the Bunsen response. The top result’s a fast and dependable 1:1 response of water and iodine with fewer facet reactions than different current KF reagents for ketones available on the market.

The response of ketones with alcohol in typical KF reagents types ketals which in the end launch water. The additional water falsifies the titration outcomes and might be particularly problematic for coulometric Karl Fischer titration.

Hydranal™ NEXTGEN FA reagents from Honeywell comprise no alcohol element and suppress facet reactions higher than different Karl Fischer reagents throughout moisture evaluation in ketones. As these alcohol-free KF reagents are delicate to gentle, exams have been carried out to gauge the effectiveness of assorted experimental setups in opposition to the light-induced launch of iodine.

Different experiments have been carried out to check the flexibility of alcohol-free Hydranal™ KF reagents from Honeywell to assist measure water content material in a variety of samples. Other than two completely different water requirements, a number of ketones (together with acetone, butanone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone, and acetylacetone) have been used. Water content material willpower in varied ketones is proven to be quick and reproducible with the examined Hydranal™ NEXTGEN FA reagents.
