Summary

Calcium and magnesium were estimated separately and in a mixture with EDTA (Titriplex III) using aluminon as metal indicator. Methylene blue is used for screening the yellow colour at the end point. The estimation should be carried out in theph range 8.5–9.9. Ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer was required for the estimation. Total hardness for a number of water samples was also determined.

Zusammenfassung

Calcium und Magnesium werden allein oder in Mischung (als Summe) mit Hilfe von ÄDTA-Lösung titriert, wobei Aluminon zusammen mit Methylenblau als Indicator dient. Die Bestimmung soll imph-Bereich 8,5–9,9 (NH4OH-NH4Cl-Puffer) durchgeführt werden. Sie eignet sich auch zur Gesamthärte-Bestimmung in Wasserproben.
