Specifically, the mass described in the examples of this application may be a mass unit known in the chemical industry, such as μg, mg, g, kg, etc.

[0031] When measuring the total EDTA concentration in chemical cleaning solutions or rinse solutions with high Fe content, the following issues need to be addressed when using direct titration:

[0032] 1) Masking agents can mask a large amount of Fe in the solution 2+ 、Fe 3+ , and under the experimental conditions, Zn in the standard solution 2+ or Ca 2+ No masking effect;

[0033] 2) The selected oxidant has no effect on the indicator.

[0034] 3) Fe in solution 2+ 、Fe 3+ When the content is high, the acid chrome blue K indicator is prone to recolor when approaching the titration endpoint, and the recolor interval is long, which affects the judgment of the titration endpoint and the test speed.

[0035] 4) When EDTA is used for rinsing and passivation, although Fe 2+ 、Fe 3+ The content is not high, but due to the small total concentration of EDTA, when using acid chrome blue K indicator, there are still problems such as difficulty in judging the titration end point and easy color reversion.

[0036] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring the total EDTA concentration in EDTA chemical cleaning solutions and rinse solutions for power station boilers with a high Fe content, comprising:

[0037] S1, adding an oxidant to the EDTA cleaning solution or rinse solution of the power plant boiler and heating it to boiling, and then adding a masking agent to destroy the original EDTA-Fe complex;

[0038] S2, decomplexed EDTA with hydroxynaphthol blue as indicator, and Ca 2+ The standard solution is titrated;

[0039] S3, obtaining the total EDTA concentration in the chemical cleaning solution and the rinsing solution according to the titration results.

[0040] The operation steps of the present invention have the characteristics of high detection result accuracy, simple operation and fast detection speed.

[0041] The principle is: by adding a masking agent, the original EDTA-Fe complex is destroyed, and the decomplexed EDTA is used as an indicator of hydroxynaphthol blue and Ca 2+ The standard solution is titrated to obtain the total EDTA concentration in the chemical cleaning solution and rinse solution.

[0042] At the same time, the solution was solved by using acid chrome blue K as indicator and Zn 2+ When titrating with the standard solution, the total Fe content in the cleaning solution and the rinsing solution is too high, which makes it difficult to judge the endpoint of the indicator and easy to recolor.

[0043] Exemplarily, a dilution process is performed before adding the masking agent to the EDTA cleaning solution or rinse solution of the power plant boiler:

[0044] Take a power plant boiler EDTA cleaning solution or rinse solution and dilute it with demineralized water. The volume ratio of the power plant boiler EDTA cleaning solution or rinse solution to demineralized water is 1:100. The dosage can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, units such as mL or L can be used.

[0045] Wherein, as an optional solution, the masking agent is triethanolamine solution. The volume ratio of the oxidant to the masking agent is 1:10. 2+ The standard solution is standard calcium acetate monohydrate solution, and the titration endpoint is when the solution changes from blue to red.

[0046] Preferably, after adding the masking agent, the method further comprises: adjusting the pH value to 12.5-13.0 with a NaOH solution. The pH value may be 12.5, 12.6, 12.8, 13.0, etc.

[0047] Exemplarily, the total EDTA concentration in the chemical cleaning solution and the rinse solution is obtained according to the titration results, including:

[0048] Record Ca at the end of titration 2+ The volume V of the standard solution can be used to calculate the total EDTA concentration in the cleaning solution.

[0049] The oxidant is ammonium persulfate solution, hydrogen peroxide or nitric acid solution.

[0050] As an alternative, a method for measuring the total EDTA concentration in EDTA chemical cleaning solutions and rinse solutions for power plant boilers with high Fe content includes the following steps:

[0051] 1) Accurately measure 1 mL of EDTA cleaning solution or rinse solution for power plant boilers and inject it into a conical flask. Dilute it to 100 mL with deionized water.

[0052] 2) Add 1 mL of oxidant and 10 mL of masking agent, adjust the pH to 12.5-13.0 with NaOH solution, add 3-6 drops of hydroxynaphthol blue indicator, and titrate with standard calcium acetate monohydrate solution. The titration endpoint is when the solution changes from blue to red.

[0053] 3) Record the volume V of the calcium acetate monohydrate standard solution and calculate the total EDTA concentration in the cleaning solution.

[0054] The oxidant is a 10% by mass concentration ammonium persulfate solution, a 30% by mass concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, or a 20% by mass concentration nitric acid solution; the masking agent is a 30% by mass concentration triethanolamine solution, and the NaOH solution has a mass concentration of 50%; the hydroxynaphthol blue indicator is prepared by mixing and grinding hydroxynaphthol blue and sodium chloride in a ratio of 1:100.
