A simple method for determination of volatile acid concentration with corrections for ionic strength

From: Water Environment Research | Date: November 1, 1998| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT: A relatively simple but accurate method to determine volatile acid concentration in aqueous solutions is presented. This new method extends a less accurate procedure previously proposed to account for ionic strength and combines several volatile acid concentrations into a composite value. Both procedures use all available titration data, instead of the customary single titration endpoint. The simplified procedure is implemented using common spreadsheets as a tool for data analysis. Analysis of titration data for solutions of known concentration and anaerobic digester supernatant ...
