The invention relates to a method for measuring content of
antimony in a methyltin mercaptide composite heat stabilizer through an indirect
iodometric method. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, a certain amount of methyltin mercaptide composite heat stabilizer samples are weighed, concentrated
sulfuric acid, concentrated
nitric acid and
perchloric acid are sequentially added, the volume proportion of the concentrated
sulfuric acid to the concentrated
nitric acid to the
perchloric acid is (2-3):1:1, the proportion of the
sample mass to the mixed acid volume is 1: (35-55) g / ml, heating and dissolving are carried out, after the mixture is cooled to the
room temperature, a (1+9)
hydrochloric acid solution is added for constant volume V, and the mixture is shaken evenly to be used; secondly, the volume V0 of the solution prepared in the first step is moved and taken, a proper amount of
potassium iodide and
starch indicator are added, a
sodium thiosulfate standard
titration solution with the
molar concentration being 1.000 mol / L is used for
titration until the solution becomes colorless from blue so that a
titration terminal can be achieved, the volume V1 of the consumed
sodium thiosulfate standard titration solution is recorded, meanwhile, a blank test is made, volume V2 is recorded, and the
antimony content is calculated according to formula 1 shown in the description. By means of the method, testing results are accurate and reliable, expensive special analytical instruments are not needed, the cost is low, and the method is easy to apply and popularize.
