Abstract

A binary search strategy is proposed and implemented in a continuous flow system to find the end-point titration by employing spectrophotometric detection. It takes advantage of the binary sampling process under a constant flow-rate. For this task an automated flow set-up based on solenoid valves was designed. A 386 microcomputer was employed to control the valves, and to perform data acquisition and data processing. The accuracy level can be previously settled as a software parameter. Samples with concentrations ranging within two orders of magnitude could be titrated by making use of the same flow set-up. Titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposal. Titrations in triplicate, with 99.99% precision were carried out in 3 min with a solution consumption of 2 ml.
