Overview

SIST ISO 6059:1996 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the determination of the sum of calcium and magnesium in water using the EDTA titrimetric method. This standard specifies a precise and reliable analytical procedure applicable to groundwater, surface water, and drinking water quality assessment. It excludes effluents and waters with high salt concentrations, such as seawater. The method's detection limit begins from 0.05 mmol/L of calcium plus magnesium combined.

This test is a fundamental part of water quality monitoring, ensuring compliance with health and environmental regulations. Calcium and magnesium levels influence water hardness, affecting its suitability for domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    The method is suitable for routine analysis of calcium and magnesium in natural waters but is unsuitable for saline or saline-affected waters and wastewaters with elevated salt content.

  • Principle of the Method
    The method involves complexometric titration with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at a pH of 10, using mordant black 11 as an indicator. EDTA binds free and complexed calcium and magnesium ions, causing a distinctive colour change at the equivalence point.

  • Reagents and Preparation
    Only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled water or equivalent purity should be used. Key reagents include:

    • Ammonium chloride buffer solution (pH control)
    • Standard volumetric EDTA solution (10 mmol/L)
    • Mordant black 11 indicator
    • Standard calcium reference solution for EDTA standardization
  • Titration Procedure
    Water samples undergo minimal pretreatment (filtration to remove particulates if necessary). They are buffered to pH 10 and titrated with standardized EDTA until the indicator changes from claret/violet to blue, marking the end-point.

  • Calculations and Reporting
    The total concentration of calcium and magnesium is calculated in millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Detailed instructions ensure precision and repeatability, with an estimated repeatability of ±0.04 mmol/L.

  • Interferences
    The method addresses common interferences from ions such as iron, aluminum, and heavy metals by masking them (e.g., with sodium cyanide) or suggests alternative atomic absorption methods if interference cannot be eliminated.

  • Water Hardness Concept
    The standard includes an annex explaining water hardness definitions and international hardness units (German, UK, French, and US degrees), facilitating conversion and interpretation of results.

Applications

  • Water Quality Monitoring
    Regular testing of drinking water, groundwater, and surface water to ensure compliance with quality standards.

  • Assessment of Water Hardness
    Helps in evaluating total hardness, which affects scale formation in pipes, water taste, and suitability for industrial and domestic use.

  • Environmental Impact Studies
    Supporting the assessment of natural water bodies by quantifying key chemical constituents.

  • Industrial Water Treatment
    Monitoring calcium and magnesium informs process control in boiler operations, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Providing standardized data required by environmental protection agencies and health departments.

Related Standards

  • ISO 5667 Series – Guidelines for water sampling, including sample collection, preservation, and handling to ensure analytical accuracy.

  • ISO 385/1 – Specifications for laboratory glassware such as burettes, ensuring volumetric accuracy during titration.

  • Other Chemical Analysis Standards – Complementary methods for water quality analysis, including atomic absorption spectroscopy for metal ion quantification when interference limits titrimetric methods.

Summary

SIST ISO 6059:1996 offers a standardized and reliable method for determining combined calcium and magnesium concentrations in natural waters using EDTA titration. It is essential for laboratories conducting water quality analyses, supporting effective water resource management, and ensuring safe drinking water supply. The method balances accuracy, simplicity, and broad applicability while addressing potential interferences and providing guidance for results interpretation related to water hardness.

Keywords: ISO 6059, calcium determination, magnesium determination, EDTA titration, water quality standard, water hardness, water analysis, groundwater testing, surface water testing, drinking water quality, water hardness units, complexometric titration.
