SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Chloride ions are one of the major inorganic anions in water
and wastewater. Although high concentrations of chloride in
water are not known to be toxic to humans, its regulation
is mainly due to adverse effect on taste. It is essential to
monitor chloride concentration in boiler systems to prevent
metal parts being damaged. In high levels, chloride can
corrode stainless steel and be toxic to plant life.
The Hanna Test Kit is equipped with all you need to
determine chloride level of water. The kit is quick and easy
to use.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
The chloride level in mg/L (ppm) is determined by a silver
nitrate titration, using potassium chromate as indicator.
The color change from yellow to brick-red determines the
end point of this titration.

READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE TEST KIT
Note: Label the two syringes to avoid cross-contamination
as follows:
tag the syringe to be used for sample extraction as
"S" and "T" the other for titration (HI 38015C-0).
High Range - 5000 to 100000 mg/L of Chloride
1- To measure chloride in the 5000 to
100000 mg/L range, rinse and fill
the S (sample) syringe with water
sample. Remove the cap from the
plastic vessel and add 0.25 mL of
sample.
Note: To measure exactly 0.25 mL of
sample with the syringe, push
the plunger completely into the
syringe and insert the tip into
sample. Pull the plunger out until
the lower edge of the seal is on
0.0 mL mark of the syringe. Insert the syringe into the vessel
and push the sample out until
the lower edge of the seal is on
the 0.25 mL mark (the longer
mark between 0.2 and 0.3).
2- Remove the cap and
fill the Demineralizer
Bottle with tap water.
3- Replace the cap
and shake gently for
at least 2 minutes.
The demineralized
water is now ready.
4- Flip open the top of the Demineralizer Bottle cap. By
gently squeezing the bottle, add demineralized water
to the vessel up to the 25 mL mark. Replace the cap
and swirl to mix.
25 mL
5- Using the 1 mL plastic pipette, add to the vessel 1 mL
of HI 38015A-0 reagent. Replace the cap and swirl the
vessel in tight circles to mix.
6- While swirling the vessel, add
10 drops of HI 38015B-0 reagent through the cap port.
The solution will become a yellow color.
7- Take the titration syringe (T la-
beled), and push the plunger
completely into the syringe. Insert tip into HI 38015C-0 solution
and pull the plunger out until
the lower edge of the plunger
seal is on the 0 mL mark of the
syringe.
Caution: Avoid skin and eyes contact
with HI 38015C-0 reagent. It may
cause irritation to eyes and dark
spots on skin for some time.
8- Place the syringe into the cap of the
plastic vessel and slowly add the titration solution one drop at a time.
Swirling to mix after each drop. Continue adding titration solution until
the solution in the plastic vessel changes
from yellow to brick-red.
x10
9- Read off the milliliters of titration solution from the
syringe scale and multiply by 100000 to obtain mg/L
(ppm) of Chloride.
Low Range - 500 to 10000 mg/L of Chloride
If the result is lower than 5000 mg/L,
the precision of the test can be improved
by following the steps below.
10-Remove the cap from the large plas-
tic vessel and use the 3 mL plastic
pipette to add 2.5 mL of sample.
11- Follow the instructions from step 4 to 8.
12- Read off the milliliters of titration solution from the syringe
scale and multiply by 10000 to obtain mg/L (ppm) of
Chloride.
Note: If the sample pH is lower than 2 or higher than 11,
add respectively sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid to
adjust the pH at a value between 7 and 10.
During titration sample becomes turbid.
Interferences: Bromide, iodide, cyanide and sulfide; ortho-
phosphate above 250 ppm and polyphosphate above
25 ppm precipitate as silver salts; iron above 10
ppm masks the endpoint. Intensely colored samples
should be adequately treated before performing the
test. Suspended matter in large amounts should be
removed by prior filtration.
