Qualité de l'eau - Dosage de l'oxygene dissous - Méthode iodométrique (ISO 5813:1983)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode iodométrique pour le dosage de l'oxygène dissous dans les eaux selon le procédé dit de Winkler, modifié afin de tenir compte de certaines interférences. La méthode iodométrique est la méthode de référence pour le dosage de l'oxygène dissous dans les eaux. Elle est applicable à tout type d'eau ayant une concentration en oxygène dissous supérieure à 0,2 mg/l jusqu'à la double saturation en oxygène (environ 20 mg/l) et exempt de substances interférantes. Les substances organiques facilement oxydables -- comme les tanins, les acides humiques, les lignines -- interfèrent. Des substances sulfuriques oxydables -- comme les sulfures, la thiourée -- interfèrent, ainsi que les systèmes respirant activement qui consomment de l'oxygène. En présence de telles substances, il est préférable d'utiliser la méthode électrochimique à la sonde spécifiée dans l'ISO 5814.

Overview

SIST EN 25813:1996, titled "Water quality - Determination of dissolved oxygen - Iodometric method (ISO 5813:1983)," is a European Standard developed by CEN. It specifies a modified Winkler titration procedure for the accurate determination of dissolved oxygen in water. This iodometric method is the reference standard for quantifying dissolved oxygen concentrations ranging from 0.2 mg/l up to double saturation, approximately 20 mg/l, in waters free of interfering substances.

The standard is applicable to a wide range of water types, including surface waters, distribution pipelines, and varying depth samples. SIST EN 25813:1996 is harmonized with ISO 5813:1983, ensuring global consistency in water quality analysis.

Key Topics

  • Iodometric Winkler Method: The procedure involves the reaction of dissolved oxygen with manganese(II) hydroxide, forming an oxidized compound that liberates iodine. This iodine is then titrated with sodium thiosulphate to determine oxygen concentration.
  • Modified Procedure for Interferences: Adjustments are made in the standard to correct for oxidizing or reducing substances, nitrites, and suspended matter that could interfere with the measurement. For complex samples, an annex provides a method involving flocculation with aluminum hydroxide.
  • Reagents and Apparatus: The standard details preparation of analytical-grade reagents, such as manganese sulfate, alkaline iodide-azide solution, potassium iodate, and sodium thiosulphate. Specific glass flasks calibrated for volume and airtight stoppers are recommended for sample collection.
  • Sampling Techniques: Sampling protocols ensure minimal oxygen loss or air bubble inclusion, with specialized methods for surface water, deep water, or pipeline samples.
  • Quality Control: Daily standardization of titration solutions is required. The method’s reproducibility has been validated across multiple laboratories, with standard deviations within 0.03 to 0.05 mg/l for air-saturated water.
  • Handling Special Cases: Procedures for samples containing oxidizing or reducing agents include parallel sampling and correction titrations. If interfering substances are present, an electrochemical probe method (ISO 5814) is recommended.

Applications

This standard is essential for laboratories and environmental agencies conducting water quality monitoring, including:

  • Environmental Monitoring: Assessing dissolved oxygen in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal waters to evaluate aquatic ecosystem health.
  • Water Treatment Plants: Ensuring oxygen levels meet regulatory standards during treatment and distribution processes.
  • Industrial Effluent Testing: Monitoring discharged waters to prevent oxygen depletion in receiving bodies.
  • Research and Development: Studying oxygen solubility and bioavailability in freshwater and marine systems.
  • Quality Assurance: Serving as a reference method for calibrating electrochemical oxygen sensors and probes.

Overall, SIST EN 25813:1996 supports compliance with environmental legislation and promotes sustainable water resource management by providing a reliable and internationally recognized procedure for dissolved oxygen determination.

Foreword lS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bedies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through ISO technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been authorized has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. International Standard ISO 5813 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 147, Water quahly, and was circulated to the member bodies in July 1982. lt has been approved by the member bodies of the following countries: Australia Germany, F.R.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5813-1983 (EI Water quality - Determination of dissolved Oxygen - lodometric method 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies an iodometric method for the determination of dissolved Oxygen in water by the so-called “Winkler procedure” modified in Order to make allowance for certain interferences. The iodometric method is the reference method for the deter- mination of dissolved Oxygen in water. lt is applicable to all types of water having dissolved Oxygen concentrations greater than 02 mg/l, up to double Saturation of Oxygen (approxi- mately 20 mg/l), which are free from intet-fering substances. Readily oxidizable organic substances such as tannins, humic acid and lignins, interfere. Oxidizable sulphur compounds such as sulphides and thiourea also interfere, as do actively respiring Systems which readily consume Oxygen. In the presence of such substances, it is preferable to use the electrochemical probe method specified in ISO 5814. Nitrites up to a concentration of 15 mg/1 do not interfere with the determination because they are destroyed by the addition of sodium azide. If oxidizing or reducing substances are present, it is necessary to make modifications to the method; these are described in clause 9. If suspended matter, capable of fixing or consuming iodine, is present, the method may be used with the modification described in the annex, but it is preferable to use the electro- Chemical probe method. 2 Reference ISO 5814, Water quality - Determination of dissolved Oxygen - Electrochemical probe method. ‘) 3 Principle Reaction of dissolved Oxygen in the Sample with freshly precipitated manganese(ll) hydroxide [formed by the addition of sodium or potassium hydroxide to manganeseIll1 sulphatel.
