Fundamentals of volumetric Karl Fischer Titration

Are you new to Karl Fischer Titration? Or would you like to do Karl Fischer titrations more precisely and efficiently? Or are you even interested in the theory behind Karl Fischer?

This document is designed as an application brochure for our DL31/38 titrators, but it contains also a very comprehensive and instrument-independent part on Karl Fischer theory and techniques.


Content:
  • The KF Reaction
  • Reagents
  • Control DL31/38 control and termination parameters
  • KF Titration: atmospheric moisture, titrant concentration, the solvent, the sample, effects of temperature, side reactions
  • Measurement results
  • Special KF methods: internal extraction, external extraction, external dissolution, lyophilized samples in septum bottles, drying oven, water in gases
  • Selected applications
