Method for determining sodium concentration in alcohol

摘要

Preparations are made of a characteristic curve of conductivity showing the relationship between sodium concentration in alcohol and conductivity of alcohol as observed at a predetermined temperature and a temperature correction curve showing the change in conductivity per unit degree centigrade of alcohol temperature versus; sodium concentration in alcohol; the corrected conductivity of a sample alcohol is determined by measuring the conductivity and temperature of the sample alcohol simultaneously and subjecting the measured conductivity to temperature correction according to the above temperature correction curve; and then the sodium concentration in the sample alcohol is determined on the basis of the corrected conductivity thus obtained. Thus, the change in sodium concentration in alcohol can be measured and monitored continuously and accurately.
