Abstract

The aim of the article was to describe two methods for nonionic surfactant determination in laundry wastewater. The comparison of two methods is given: the classical two-phase titration using sodium tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl) borate solution and potentiometric titration using tetraphenyl borate solution. The results showed that two-phase titration allows determinations on lower nonionic surfactants concentration level in wastewater then potentiometric titration. But on the other hand potentiometric titration gives more precise results of nonionic surfactants determination in washing agents. This is why for analysis of low tenside concentration the two-phase titration is more precise.
