Acid-base titration is an important quantitative analysis performed to evaluate the concentration of acid or base in a solution. This analysis provides a precise outcome and thus has uses across multiple industry segments. In this article, we’ll explore the most prevalent Acid-Base Titration Techniques, including:

  • Acid-base Titration in the industry.
  • Acid-base Titration using digital probes and instruments.

Acid-Base Titration techniques in the industry

  • Quantitative study of precipitation has an important role in environmental studies and forecasting. The measurement of the acidity of basicity in rainfall or snow is conducted using the standard titration technique which is relatively easier to perform. Considering the versatility of the titration test it is used across several industries for the evaluation of key chemical constituents.
  • Water quality analysis to find out whether it is appropriate for consumption or not is performed through specialized titration instruments. These instruments ensure precise measurement of different chemical substances in a water sample to ascertain whether it is safe for consumption or not.
  • Determining nutritional values present in food products requires analysis of their chemical constituents. And this is where the standard titration procedure is applied. The process involves inserting an electrode in the sample solution mixed with deionized water. Next, a titration catalyst is used for measuring the acidity or basicity of the sample. Food manufacturers can use this technique to vary food quality as per the specific nutritional needs of people.
  • Developments in the pharmaceutical industry rely on accurate and precise measurement of chemical substances. For this titration, techniques prove to be of great help. They help perform quality control. Different types of titration techniques based on specialized pharma equipment are employed to enhance the overall efficiency of the process.
  • The flavor of the wine is greatly influenced by its level of acidity. Also, this has an impact on wine’s life span. Therefore, to understand acidity in wine and titration is performed. However, for this analysis winemakers have access to inexpensive titration kits which makes the wine quality control much faster and more efficient.

Acid-Base Titration Equipment

Thanks to technological inventions, today we have access to a range of modern instruments for acid-base analysis. These instruments ensure to offer you more accurate results in a quick and hassle-way. The acid-base instruments are:

  •  Microprocessor Controlled Automatic Titrators.
  •  Automated Karl Fischer Titrator based on the principles of coulometric or volumetric titration.
  •  Potentiometric Titrators with a working process similar to direct titration of a redox reaction.
