Generator electrodes – with or without frit – which is better?
Most manufacturers use a similar configuration of titration cell in which the anode and cathode compartments are separated by a frit (diaphragm) and each compartment is charged with different reagents. Some companies now offer fritless generator electrodes for use with single solution coulometric reagents. This combination, at first sight, seems to offer several advantages for the operator. There is only the one reagent to be handles, easier to charge and empty the titration vessel. Unfortunately the formulation of single coulometric reagents are not as suitable for oil and petroleum products as the two reagent methodology. Contact G.R. Scientific for full information.
