    Titration

    Determination of Total acid number


    (TAN) according to ASTM 664

    Description
    Determination of acidic compounds in petroleum products and lubricants by potentiometric titration.
    The total acid number TAN is the quantity of base, expressed in milligrams of potassium hydroxide, which is
    required to neutralize all acidic constituents in 1 g of sample. The titration is done in a mixture of toluene,
    Isopropyl alcohol and water with KOH in Isopropyl alcohol. The use of Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as
    titrant is also possible.
    The result is calculated as mg (KOH) / g.

    Instruments
    Titrator TL 7000 or higher
    Electrode N 6480 eth
    Cable L1A
    Stirrer Magnetic stirrer TM 235 or similar
    Lab accessory glass beaker 150 ml
    Watch glass
    Magnetic stirrer bar 30 mm

    Reagents
    1 KOH 0,1 mol/l in Isopropylalcohol
    2 Toluene
    3 Isopropyl alcohol
    4 Distilled water
    All reagents should be of analytical grade or better.

    TAN ASTM 664_EN.docx 1/5


    Titration procedure
    Reagents
    KOH in Isopropyl alcohol 0.1 mol/l
    It is recommended to use a ready 0.1 mol/l solution.
    The solution must be protected against CO2 with a CO2 absorbent like soda lime.
    The titer determination is done as described in the application note “Titer KOH”.

    Solvent mixture
    500 ml Toluene, 495 ml Isopropyl alcohol and 5 ml water are mixed in a bottle.

    Cleaning of the electrode


    For cleaning and conditioning of the electrode 3 steps are necessary:
    First the electrode is rinsed with the solvent mixture to remove residues of the sample.
    Then it is conditioned in water.
    After the conditioning step the electrode is rinsed with solvent mixture to remove the water.
    The electrode is stored in a solution of 1.5 mol/l LiCl in Ethanol (or, if another electrolyte is used, in this
    electrolyte solution).

    Blank value
    For blank titration 125 ml solvent are placed in a 250 ml beaker and titrated with 0.1 mol/l KOH. The Blank
    should be below 0.3 ml.

    Sample preparation
    The sample is weighed into a 250 ml beaker, dissolved in 125 ml of the solvent and titrated with 0.1 mol/l
    KOH. The sample weight should be calculated and selected that the titration amount is not more than 4-5
    ml because of the long titration time.
    The required amount of sample can be estimated according to this rule of thumb:

    𝑊(𝑔) =
    𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑇𝐴𝑁
