Pulps — Kraft liquor — Determination of residual alkali using potentiometric titration

Pâtes — Liqueur Kraft — Détermination de l’alcali résiduel par titrage potentiométrique

Abstract / scope

This document describes a procedure for determining the content of residual alkali in Kraft black liquors having a dry matter content up to 40 %.

The method is based on a potentiometric titration with hydrochloric acid and is intended for black liquor samples with an initial pH ≥ 11,0.

The lower limit of determination is 0,1 g/l of eq. NaOH.
