pH510-turbid liquid acidity meter

An Lairis pH510- turbid liquid pH meter is designed for turbid liquid or colloidal solutions . The pH value of viscous sample solutions , including milk, jam, water-based paints, cosmetics, soil solutions, sewage and sludge, etc. The micelles or particles tend to cause the electrode cell junction potential to be unstable, resulting in a variety of measurement problems, requiring the use of professional pH electrodes to achieve fast and accurate measurements. This set is equipped with a glass pH electrode for Aleris turbid liquid . It uses a ceramic liquid junction and a long-life reference system to increase the exudation rate of the external reference solution and reduce the liquid junction potential of the micelles or particles. The effect is that a double-liquid reference electrode is used, and the outer chamber is filled with a solution having the same characteristics as the sample, so that the liquid junction potential is more stable.

Applications

Application of pH510 in pH measurement of hand sanitizer

Previously, people used soap, detergent, gasoline, detergent, etc. to wash their hands. Although this can play a certain cleaning effect, it is irritating to the skin, and the skin often appears dry, cracked, peeled, etc. after washing, and the stain removal ability of the operator of some special types of work is not ideal. In particular, oils such as gasoline, because of their toxicity, can cause harm to the human body. Hand sanitizer can avoid the above shortcomings, and it can be used for decontamination, non-toxic, non-irritating, moisturizing and aroma. At present, more and more people choose to wash their hands with hand sanitizer.

However, in the previous two years, a “White Cat” brand hand sanitizer was detected as unqualified pH , which caused people to pay attention to the pH value of hand sanitizer . "Hand sanitizer" QB2654-2004 specified on pH is 4.0? 10.0 between, that is to say, the product between a neutral pH (pH = 7.0) near, weakly acidic (pH <7.0), weak base ( pH > 7.0 ), consumers can choose according to the nature of the skin, acid and alkali are too strong on the skin, often used to make the skin crepe, dry, and even crack. So we need to understand the pH of the hand sanitizer .

In this study, we measured the dilution of the same hand sanitizer into three different concentrations of pH .

Operation process

1 Prepare the machine pH510 and pH electrode, the configuration samples are: 5% , 10% , 20% hand soap solution.

2 Connect the power supply and plug in the pH electrode. Place the universal electrode holder.

3 Use the standard pH buffer solution for routine calibration.

4 Wash the pH electrode with pure water and dry it, immerse it in the solution to be tested, and put it aside after a little agitation. When the LCD displays stable measured values ​​and icons, it is the measured pH value.

Note Regular calibration:

1. Press the CAL key, the instrument enters the calibration mode, and the 6.68 pH is flashed in the lower right corner of the LCD , indicating that the first point calibration is performed with the pH 6.86 buffer solution .

2. Rinse the electrode with pure water and dry it, immerse it in a pH 6.864 buffer solution, and let it stand still after agitation to wait for the reading to stabilize. When the instrument locks 6.86 pH , the LCD will display a stable icon. Press ENTER to calibrate the instrument. After the calibration is successful, the End icon will be displayed . The first point calibration ends.

3. If performing 3- point calibration, repeat step 2 by changing the buffer of pH4.003 and pH9.182 . The operation of 5- point calibration mode is the same as above, but the calibration solution and calibration sequence can be selected at will.

Test Data

Analysis: As can be seen from the above experimental results, the pH value of the dilution used in this study was diluted to a brand hand sanitizer in a concentration of about 6.50 to 6.54 three thick sample pH change is small, matching "hand sanitizer? "QB2654-2004 the provisions of the pH value (4.0? 10.0).

Application of pH510 in milk pH measurement

Under normal circumstances, the pH value of pure milk is between 6.4 and 6.8 , which is weakly acidic. The pH value can accurately reflect the freshness of milk. Reliable pH measurement is very important for the quality control of fresh milk. The importance of pH is that the on-line pH is mainly considered from the perspective of the freshness of milk and other media contamination in the production process. Freshness is also the focus on the acidity of the product, which will seriously affect the stability of your later products. If the product is reinforced, the pH value is the key basis for the release of the product. It is the quickest way to verify the sterilization effect of your product and whether the product is contaminated.

At the same time, dairy products can rely on pH to ensure that milk does not clump. This critical point is pH 4.3-4.6 , and the pH of the milk cannot be lower than this value anyway. This is the so-called isoelectric point of milk protein. When the pH value is within this range, the repulsion between the milk protein molecules is minimal and precipitation is easy. Therefore, the pH of the protein beverage needs to be adjusted to the isoelectric point, but the pH is generally Can not be higher than 6.8 , high pH is not conducive to product quality, and when the pH is higher than 6.8 , in the sterilization process, protein and reducing sugar are prone to Maillard reaction, product color browning.

The pH of milk is not easy to measure. They usually contain fat, protein, sulfides and many other substances, all of which interfere with electrode measurements and make measurement errors. In addition, the milk itself or the precipitated protein contaminates the junction of the electrode during the pH measurement of the milk, causing a change in the pH electrode calibration value (zero point and slope). They can also be very thick, very thin, very sticky or very hard, but we have to measure them and get fast and accurate results, so it is difficult to implement. However, if the electrodes are chosen correctly and used properly, your measurements are accurate and reliable. Ordinary pH electrodes will not be able to withstand such high pollution measurement environments, which will cause measurement errors due to poor relinearity of the electrode measurements. Anlai Lisi S3221 glass composite pH electrode adopts Swiss imported ceramic liquid junction and long-life reference system. It has large glass electrode contact area, is not easy to block, and can withstand high pollution. It is very suitable for measuring the pH of viscous liquid such as milk. value.

In this experiment, the Anlerix pH510 main unit was equipped with S3221 glass composite pH electrode and T2132 temperature electrode to measure the pH value of pure milk of Liangming and Yili .

Maintenance and maintenance

Daily maintenance of pH electrode

• General contamination: Wash the electrode with water, 0.1 mol/l NaOH or 0.1 mol/l HCl for a few minutes.

● Grease or organic contamination: Wash the electrode with acetone or ethanol for a few seconds.

• Inorganic metal oxide contamination: Wash with less than 1 mol/L dilute acid.

● Resin polymer material contamination: Wash with dilute alcohol, acetone or BMI.

● Protein blood cell sediment contamination: Wash with an acid enzyme solution (such as a mother-in-law tablet).

● Contaminant contamination: Dilute bleach and peroxide cleaning.

● Regeneration of the electrode: After the electrode is used for a long time, the sensitive glass bulb will age. The electrode is soaked in 0.1mol/L hydrochloric acid for 24h , washed with pure water, and soaked in the electrode soaking solution for 24h . Preparation of 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid: 9 mL of hydrochloric acid was diluted to 1000 mL with pure water . If the passivation is serious, the lower end of the electrode can be immersed in 4% HF (hydrofluoric acid) for 3~5 seconds, washed with pure water, and then immersed in the electrode soaking solution for 24 hours to renew it .

Preservation of pH electrode

● There is an appropriate amount of electrode soaking solution in the protective bottle at the front end of the pH electrode. The electrode tip is immersed in it to keep the glass bulb and the liquid junction activated.

● If the soaking liquid in the protective bottle is found to be turbid and moldy, it should be washed in time and replaced with a new soaking solution.

● The electrode should be protected from long-term immersion in pure water, protein solution and acidic fluoride solution, and prevent contact with organic grease.

● Always keep the instrument clean and dry. Pay special attention to keep the height and cleanness of the meter and electrode sockets. Otherwise, the measurement will be inaccurate or invalid. If it is contaminated, it can be cleaned and dried with medical cotton and anhydrous alcohol.

●Ball protection

The sensitive glass bulb at the front end of the composite electrode cannot be in contact with hard objects, and any damage and bristles will make electricity

Extremely invalid. Wash the electrode with pure water before and after the measurement. After cleaning, dry the electrode, do not use paper towels.

Test the bulb, which will make the electrode potential unstable and prolong the response time. After measurement in a viscous sample,

The electrode was rinsed repeatedly with pure water several times to remove the sample adhering to the glass film. Or first clear with a suitable solvent

Wash and wash off the solvent with pure water.
