What is BS 6068-2.37 — Physical, chemical, and biochemical methods about?
BS 6068-2.37 is the 37th section of the multi-series standard that specifies methods and procedures for the determination of chloride via silver nitrate titration which chromate indicator.
BS 6068-2.37 specifies a titration method for the determination of dissolved chloride in water.
The method described in BS 6068-2.37 is applicable to the direct determination of dissolved chloride in concentrations between 5 mg/l and 150 mg/l. The working range may be extended to 400 mg/l by using a burette of larger capacity or by sample dilution.
Due to many interferences, the method is not applicable to heavily polluted waters of low chloride content.
Who is BS 6068-2.37 — Physical, chemical, and biochemical methods for?
BS 6068-2.37 on the Physical, chemical and biochemical methods are useful for:
- Wastewater collecting systems
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Plants treating industrial wastewater
- Water supply treatment plants
Why should you use BS 6068-2.37— Physical, chemical, and biochemical methods?
For the Mohr Method, silver nitrate is used for titration (normality: 0.0141) which corresponds to 1 mL of 0.0141 equals to 1 mg chloride in solution. The silver nitrate solution is standardized against a standard chloride solution made from sodium chloride (NaCl).
BS 6068-2.37 provides methods for characterizing water quality based on physical, chemical, and biochemical measures for determining the chloride content in water using the silver nitrate titration with chromate indicator or Mohr’s method.
BS 6068-2.37 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test pieces, preparation of reagents and apparatus, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
The test methods and procedures provided by BS 6068-2.37 assist you in the determination of chloride in the water and ensure reducing the risk of severe health issues.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6068-2.37, you can enhance the efficacy of the water and manufacture a standardized product.
