SM 2320B

Alkalinity by Titration

Applicability: SM 2320B, specifically “Alkalinity by Titration,” is a method applicable to various water matrices, including drinking water, wastewater, and surface water. It determines the acid-neutralizing capacity of water by titrating a sample with a standard acid solution to a specific pH endpoint.

Purpose: This method is used to assess the concentration of substances like carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydroxides, which contribute to alkalinity.
