Abstract:The purity of aluminum hydroxide is an important detection index in the quality standards of industrial aluminum hydroxide products. It is of great significance to establish an accurate determination method for the quality control of industrial aluminum hydroxide. During the determination of industrial aluminum hydroxide product purity by titration, the easy hydrolysis of Al3+ will cause its loss. Moreover, there is a relatively large error in visual judgment of the endpoint, which also affects the accuracy of determination results. The pH of solution in pretreatment was controlled to not more than 3. Al3+ were complexed with EDTA in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution at pH≈3.0, which solved the loss problem of Al3+ due to hydrolysis. Excessive EDTA was back-titrated with zinc chloride standard titration solution at 590 nm by monotonic titration (MET) mode using xylenol orange as indicator and photometric electrode as indicating electrode. The method for the determination of industrial aluminum hydroxide product purity by automatic potentiometric titration was established. The purity of flame-retardant and water treatment agent samples of aluminum hydroxide were determined according to the experimental method. The relative standard deviations (RSD, n=7) of determination results were 0.06% and 0.07%, respectively. The found results were basically consistent with those obtained by national standard method of GB/T 4294-2010. The recoveries of flame-retardant sample of aluminum hydroxide were between 99.66% and 100.20%.
