The concentration of the aqueous ClO2 solution with intermediate storage in a storage tank (i.e. with headspace) should not exceed a concentration of 3 g/l, to ensure an adequate distance to the explosion limit (see B.1). 4.3 Impurities and main by-products Impurities and main by-products of the starting products used for the generation (indicated in A.1.1) can be found in the in situ generated product in respective proportional concentrations.
Inadequate design, operation and maintenance of reactors can give rise to the formation of chlorine and traces of chlorate ion and, eventually, the presence of unreacted chlorite, chlorate and/or chlorine (see [5]); for analysis see 5.2 and A.4. 4.4 Chemical parameters Limits of chemical parameters being potentially present in chlorine dioxide solution have been specified in the corresponding EN standards of the starting products (indicated in A.1.1).

NOTE Other oxidizing agents could interfere with the determination. 5.2.2 Principle 5.2.2.1 General Phosphate-buffered iodide is first reacted with the chlorine dioxide sample and titrated at pH 7,2 and subsequently acidified to pH 2 and titration is continued. 5.2.2.2 With iodometry at pH 7,2 ClO2 + l- ⇒ ClO2- +1/2 l2 (1) SIST EN 12671:2009

Dissolve in 1l of water, 28,2 g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4 . 2H2O) and 100 g monohydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4 . 12H2O). NOTE If necessary, precise adjustment of the pH value can be done with aliquots of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or phosphoric acid (H3PO4). 5.2.3.3 Sulfuric acid c(H2SO4) = 6 mol/l. 5.2.3.4 Potassium iodate (KlO3) powdered. 5.2.3.5 Hydrochloric acid standard volumetric solution c(HCl) = 0,1 mol/l or sulfuric acid c(H2SO4) = 0,5 mol/l. 5.2.3.6 Potassium iodide, (Kl) crystalline. 5.2.3.7 Zinc iodide (ZnI2)-starch indicator. Disperse 4 g starch into a small quantity of water. Add the dispersion to a solution of 20 g zinc chloride (ZnCl2) in 100 ml of water. The solution is boiled until the volume has been reduced to 100 ml and finally diluted to 1 l while adding 2 g of ZnI2. NOTE An alternative starch indicator is soluble starch 5 g + ZnCl2 4 g + salicylic acid 1,25 g; disperse the starch in a small volume of water. Dissolve ZnCl2 and salicylic acid in 500 ml water, boil and, while boiling, add the starch dispersion. Continue boiling for 5 min and finally dilute to 1 l. 5.2.3.8 Standardization of sodium thiosulfate solution 5.2.3.8.1 Reactions 5KI + 5H+ ⇒ 5Hl + 5K+

Add 0,5 ml of starch indicator (5.2.3.7) and titrate to the end point, i.e. the disappearance of the blue-black colour. Record the volume Vt of the sodium thiosulfate solution added. 5.2.3.8.3 Calculation The concentration, ct, expressed in moles per litre, of the sodium thiosulfate solution is given by the following equation: tatVVcc×= (8) where ca is the concentration, in moles per litre, of the acid (5.2.3.5); V is the volume, in millilitres, of the acid (5.2.3.5); Vt is the volume, in millilitres, of the sodium thiosulfate solution used. 5.2.4 Apparatus Ordinary laboratory apparatus:  all glassware shall be dark brown to protect against photodecomposition;  wash all glassware with a dilute solution (approximately 1 g/l) of chlorine dioxide and rinse with water; the glassware used for the determinations of chlorine dioxide and related oxidants shall be reserved for this specific use and kept maintained separately. 5.2.5 Procedure Prepare sets of three conical flasks of 250 ml immediately before the sampling: take 80 ml of water, followed by 20 ml buffer solution (5.2.3.2) and approximately 1 g of potassium iodide (5.2.3.6). Use immediately or keep in the dark if immediate use is not possible. Introduce a volume (Vs) of chlorine dioxide solution which (presumably) contains between 3 mg and 10 mg of ClO2. Titration of sample under conditions of 5.2.2.2 gives a volume V1 of the sodium thiosulfate standard volumetric solution (5.2.3.1). After this first titration add 5 ml of the sulfuric acid (5.2.3.3) and after shaking the titration is continued to give an additional volume V2 of the sodium thiosulfate standard volumetric solution (5.2.3.1).
