Conductivity Titration Unit

The conductivity titration (EC titration) is an electrochemical method that measures changes in the electrical conductivity of a solution during titration. This technique is used to accurately determine the endpoint of a reaction, especially in reactions without strong color changes.

Functionality of EC Titration

During titration, ions in the solution are added or removed, which changes the electrical conductivity. A special conductivity cell continuously measures these changes. The endpoint of the titration is determined by the conductivity maximum or a significant conductivity decrease.

Typical Applications of EC Titration

Water Analysis

EC titration is used to determine total hardness, alkalinity, and salinity in drinking and wastewater.

Chemical Industry

In chemical processes, it helps with the concentration control of acids and bases as well as monitoring ionic reactions.

Environmental Analytics

EC titration is crucial for the determination of pollutants in industrial wastewater and natural waters.

Advantages of EC Titration

• High precision: Exact endpoint detection without visual indicators.
• Automatable: Ideal for laboratory and industrial applications.
• Wide range of applications: Suitable for aqueous and non-aqueous media.

Conclusion

EC titration is a versatile and reliable method for analyzing ionic solutions. Especially in water analytics, environmental monitoring, and chemical industry, it offers precise and reproducible results.
