Determination of calcium carbonate dispersing power (threshold effect)

Principle

The products to be tested are titrated with a calcium acetate solution in the presence of carbonate ions.
The amount of calcium carbonate inhibited per gram of test product is calculated.
The test provides an indication of the strength of the threshold effect (CaCO3 dispersing power) of chemicals based on polyacrylic acids.

Chemicals and apparatus

Glassware: 250-ml beakers (not less than 3 per test substance),
several pipettes, measuring cylinders, etc.

Chemicals: sodum carbonate (soda) 2 % solution
calcium acetate, anhydrous 2 % solution
caustic soda (solid) 3 % solution

Water: de-ionized or distilled

Apparatus: pH meter
magnetic stirrer


Procedure

2 g test substance is weighed into a 250-ml beaker, dissolved in

50 ml de-ionized or distilled water and the solution is
adjusted to pH 8 with caustic soda 3 % while being stirred.

10 ml soda solution 2% is stirred in, the mixture is made up to 150 ml
and adjusted to pH 11 with caustic soda 3%.

Phase 1: Preliminary titration

The amount (ml) of calcium acetate solution which causes permanent turbidity of the test solution is first determined for each product.

Phase 2: Main titration

To confirm the preliminary titration results, further tests are carried out with a series of linearly graduated amounts (ml) of calcium acetate solution, the mid-point of the series being the amount (ml) found from the preliminary titration. –> see example
Increments of 4 ml are suggested.

Important: The weighed amount used for this titration should be enough to consume
20 – 30 ml calcium acetate solution.

Example                     Prelim. titration:           weighed amt.  =  2.0 g            actual consumption  =  60 ml                                     Main titration:  weighed amt.  =  0.8 g            calc.   consumption  =  24 ml   The main titration is hence performed with    :20 ml,   24 ml   and   28 ml.
Important:      As the reaction is time-dependent, the time varying with the product,                                              wait one hour before definitive assessment !
In this case the end-point
In this case the end-point of the titration is at 24 ml calcium acetate solution   Calculation   The amount of calcium that can be inactivated per gram of product and/or the maximum water hardness for which 1 g/l is enough is calculated.   Important : 1ml of the 2 % calcium acetate solution contains 5.067 mg Ca
Maximum amount of Ca that can be inactivated per gram of  product:   mg Ca / g = 5.067 x cons. Ca acetate in ml                                                 weighed amount  
Maximum water hardness for 1 g product:   °dH* / g = 0.7 x cons. Ca acetate in ml                                                 weighed amount
