EM Quant® Copper Test, Catalog No. 10003
Test strips and reagent for the detection
and semi-quantitative determination of Copper ions
General
The Copper Test has many uses. It is suitable, for instance, for monitoring
and testing swimming pool water, drinking water (when copper pipework
has been installed, rendering higher concentrations more likely,) sewage,
electroplating solutions, and copper etching baths used in the manufacture
of printing plates and printed circuits. Copper contamination of nickel-plating
solutions can also be detected.
Copper compounds are used as anti-corrosive
agents, wood preservers, cutting fluids and lubricants. They are also
used in tanning processes, in paint manufacture and as oxidizing
agents. In some cases the sample may need pre-treatment while in
others the test can be applied directly.
The test can also be used to test for the
presence of copper in wine, which causes cloudiness.
Principle of the Method
The test for copper is based on a reaction in
which copper(I) ions combine with 2,2'-biquinoline (cuproine) in an
alcoholic-aqueous solution to form a purple-red complex. Copper(II)
ions must be reduced prior to the color reaction. A combination of
reducing agents in the reaction zone reduces the ions within a few
seconds. The paper contains a special buffer mixture which ensures
that the determination is independent of the pH between pH 2 and pH 7.
Graduation
0 - 10 - 30 - 100 - 300mg/l (ppm) Cu1+/2+
Directions
- Immerse the test strip in the sample
solution for 1 second so that the reaction zone is thoroughly
moistened.
- Remove the test strip, gently shake off
excess liquid, wait 30 seconds and compare the reaction zone with
the color scale.
Notes
The pH of the sample solution should be between
2 and 6.
Buffer strongly acidic solutions (pH less than
2) with sodium acetate; alkaline solutions with sulfuric acid.
As the pH rises above pH 5-6 progressively fewer
copper(III) ions are detected, because they are then present as
insoluble copper compounds.
Surface Determinations
Moisten the reaction zone with water and press onto the surface to be
tested (e.g. a coin) for approximately 10-30 seconds. The reaction zone
becomes purple in the presence of as little as 0.5µg of copper.
Influence of Anions
There is no interference at less than:
| 1000mg/l |
Br–, BrO3–,
Cl–, ClO3–, ClO4–,
F, MnO4–, Mo7O246–
, N3–, NO2–,
NO3–, OCN–, PO43–
SCN–, SeO32–, SO32–,
SO42–, S2O32–,
S2O82–, VO3–,
WO42–, acetate, ascorbate, citrate,
oxalate, succinate or tartrate. |
In the presence of more than 500mg/l CrO42–,
IO4–, S2O42–
or more than 250mg/l I- the copper ion concentrations
found are less than actually present. The reagent paper becomes brown
to green-black in the presence of more than 500mg/l IO3–
or IO4–.
CN–, [Fe(CN)6]3–
and [Fe(CN)6]4– chelate the copper ions,
thus preventing their detection.
Influence of Cations
There is no interference at less than:
| 1000mg/l |
Ag+, Al3+, As3+,
Au3+, Ba2+, Be2+, Bi3+,
Ca2+, Cd2+, Ce4+, Co2+,
Cr3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Hg+,
Hg2+, K+,Li+,mg2+,
Mn2+, NH4+, Na+, Ni2+,
Pb2+, Rb+, Sb3+, Sn2+,
Sr2+, Ti4+, Tl+., VO2+,
Zn2+, Zr4+ |
Molybdenum blue interferes by its blue intrinsic
color. This is eliminated by the addition of potassium permanganate
crystals to the solution until the dark red color persists.
Subsequently decolorize with hydroxylammonium chloride and determine
the copper ion concentration with the test strip.
Elimination of Interference
Eliminate interfering anions in the usual way by
fuming off with concentrated sulfuric acid.
Standard (1000mg/l)
Copper standard solution, 500ml.
