Determination of carbonyl compounds by potentiometric titration
Summary
Carbonyl compounds (CC) occur in many products, such as bio-oils and fuels, cyclic and acyclic solvents, flavors and mineral oils. Carbonyl compounds can be responsible for the instability of these products during storage or processing. Especially pyrolysis bio-oils are known to cause issues during storage, handling and upgrading. This bulletin describes an aqueous and a non-aqueous analytical titration method for the determination of carbonyl compounds by potentiometric titration.
