Methods
Hardness (calcium)
Reference: West, T. S., DSC, Ph.D., Complexometry with EDTA and Related Reagents, 3rd. ed., pp. 46, 164 (1969).
The EGTA method is specific for calcium hardness. The EGTA titrant in alkaline solution is employed with a zincon indicator. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) CaCO3.
Shelf-life: eight months. Although the reagent itself is stable, the end point indicator has a limited shelf-life. We recommend stocking quantities that will be used within seven months.
Hardness (total)
References: APHA Standard Methods, 20th ed., pp. 2-37, Method 2340 C (1998). USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 130.2 (1983).
The total hardness method is applicable to drinking, surface, boiler, and brine waters.
The EDTA titrant is employed in alkaline solution with a calmagite indicator. This method determines the combined calcium and magnesium concentration of a sample. If no magnesium is present, the end point of the titration normally appears sluggish. However, the reagent has been specially formulated to ensure a sharp end point regardless of the presence of magnesium. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) CaCO3. |
