How does a Karl Fischer titration electrode work?

In Karl Fischer water determinations, a polarized platinum double-pin electrode is used to detect the presence of water in a sample. The electrode consists of two platinum pins that are constantly polarized with a current (Ipol), while the potential required to maintain this current is monitored. At one of the pins, iodine molecules are reduced to iodide ions, while at the other pin, iodide ions are oxidized back to iodine. This process creates an increased flow of charge carriers, which reduces the required potential. When water is present in the sample, all the iodine molecules are consumed, leading to a higher potential. Therefore, measuring the change in potential can accurately determine the amount of water in the sample.

 

How do I properly maintain a titration sensor?

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, regular maintenance is crucial. Here are some general key points for properly maintaining a titration sensor:

  1. Clean the sensor
  2. Calibration
  3. Storage
  4. Handle with care
  5. Electrode protection
  6. Routine inspection
  7. Proper electrolyte refilling
