| Detection Item | Common Testing Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Purity (K₂S₂O₅ Content) | Iodometric Titration (Redox Titration) | The potassium pyrosulfite releases SO₂ under acidic conditions, which reacts with a standard iodine solution in a redox reaction. Starch is used as an indicator, and the titration proceeds until the blue endpoint is reached. The content is calculated based on the iodine consumption. |
| Moisture Content | Karl Fischer Titration (Karl Fischer Method) | This method utilizes the specific reaction between Karl Fischer reagent and water in the sample. Water content is determined by either electrochemical or volumetric methods, suitable for precise measurement of trace moisture. |
| Residue on Ignition (Ash Content) | High-Temperature Incineration Method (GB/T 6435) | The sample is incinerated at high temperature (500–600°C) until constant weight. The ratio of residual mass to original sample mass represents the ash content, reflecting the level of inorganic impurities. |
| Lead (Pb) Content | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or ICP-MS | After sample digestion, lead ion concentration is measured using AAS or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), ensuring compliance with food/pharmaceutical heavy metal limits. |
| Arsenic (As) Content | Hydride Generation-Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (HG-AFS) | After sample digestion, arsenic is converted into arsine gas, which is detected via atomic fluorescence intensity. This method offers high sensitivity and is suitable for trace analysis. |
| Chloride (Cl⁻) Content | Silver Nitrate Titration (Mohr's or Volhard's Method) | In neutral or slightly alkaline conditions, chloride ions are titrated with standard silver nitrate solution, forming a silver chloride precipitate. Chromate potassium or ferric ammonium sulfate serves as an indicator to determine the endpoint. |
| Sulfate (SO₄²⁻) Content | Turbidimetry or Barium Salt Precipitation Method | The sample is acidified and treated with barium chloride solution to form a white barium sulfate precipitate. Sulfate content is calculated by measuring turbidity with a turbidimeter or by filtering and weighing the precipitate. |
| pH Value of Solution | pH Meter Method | A 1% aqueous solution is prepared and its pH is directly measured using a calibrated pH meter. Potassium pyrosulfite solutions typically exhibit weak acidity (pH 4.0–5.5). |
| Appearance and Particle Size | Visual Inspection + Sieving Method | Inspect the sample’s color (should be white or slightly yellow crystalline powder) and check for agglomeration. Particle size distribution is assessed using standard sieves (e.g., 80 mesh, 100 mesh). |
| Total Heavy Metals | Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | After microwave digestion, multiple heavy metals (e.g., Cd, Hg, Cu, Zn) are simultaneously quantified using ICP-MS, meeting pharmacopoeial or food additive standards. |
| Released Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) Content | Distillation-Titration Method (GB 5009.34) | SO₂ is released from the sample under acidic conditions upon heating and absorbed by hydrogen peroxide, converting it to sulfuric acid. The resulting solution is then titrated with standard sodium hydroxide solution to calculate the SO₂ equivalent. |
