Abstract The wide distribution of amines in nature, their importance in industry as raw materials, intermediates and finished products, and their uses in the laboratory present continuous interest in the analytical problems relevant to them. Spectrophotometry is commonly used for determination of low levels of various amines. The various methods usually applied for determination of amines may be conveniently classed according to the analytical techniques adopted into: (i) potentiometric titration methods, (ii) spectrophotometric methods, (iii) volumetric methods, besides other specific determination methods for certain amines. In the following, a historical survey on the various methods used is given. (1) Potentiometric titration methods: Glass calomel electrode system is most frequently used for titration of amines in aqueous and non-aqueous media. A silver-silver chloride electrode may be used instead of calomel, electrode. Singh and Ahusanulhaque(l)in (1942D estimated some 0-, and p-aromatic amines on the millimole level by potentiometric titration with KI03 in presence of HCl or HN0 2 . |
