Metals Quantitative determination of copper ion in plating solution

1. Abstract

The photometric titration using a photometric probe is generally applied for the determination of copper ion (Cu2+). However, the measurement of cloudy or colored sample has difficulty to analyze with the photometric titration. The measurement using copper ion-selective electrode performs the potentiometric titration which it is not affected by the suspended particle and the indicator reagent is not required for the titration.     

Cu²⁺ + Na₂EDTA → Cu-EDTA + 2Na²⁺  

This report introduces an example of the measurement for copper ion in plating solution with chelatometric titration using copper ion-selective electrode.

2. Configuration of instruments and Reagents

(1) Configuration of instruments
  Main unit : Hiranuma Automatic Titrator COM series
  Electrodes : Copper ion-selective electrode CUi-081
Reference electrode RE-201Z
(2) Reagent    
  Titrant : 0.1 mol/L EDTA standard solution
  Buffer solution : Sodium acetate- acetic acid buffer pH 5
Dissolve 13.6 g of sodium acetate in DI water and prepare 100 mL (1 mol/L)
of the solution. Adjust the pH to 5 by adding acetic acid.

3. Measurement procedure

(1) Dispense 5 mL of sample into a 100 mL beaker with volumetric pipette.
(2) Add about 50 mL of DI water.
(3) Add 5 mL of buffer solution with micropipette.
(4) Immerse electrode into sample solution and titrate with 0.1 mol/L EDTA standard solution.

5. Note

The reading of the potential might decrease with repeated use of the copper ion-selective electrode. Polishing the surface of the copper ion-selective electrode with a fine sandpaper (P800 or finer) improves the condition of the electrode.
