Determination of chloride in TATB. Progress report, October--December 1975. [Potentiometric analysis]
To determine total chloride content in TATB, the sample was burned in a Parr Bomb, and the chlorides formed were titrated potentiometrically using silver nitrate. The electrode system is a chloride specific ion sensing element and a single junction reference. Results on seven test samples agree generally within 10 percent with previous analyses by the Development Division. Replicate analyses show precision of the method to be +-10 relative percent. Inorganic chloride is assayed by dissolving the TATB in concentrated sulfuric acid. The HCl, which is liberated, is swept into dilute base by a nitrogen sweep and analyzed potentiometrically with the chloride specific electrode. Results on three test samples agree within 5 percent with Development Division analyses, with a +-2 relative percent precision of analysis.
