<em>Alkalinity is equal to the stoichiometric sum of the bases in solution therefore it includes all the acid neutralizing bases in water namely OH</em><em>ˉ</em><em>, CO</em><em><sub>3</sub></em><em>²ˉ</em><em> &amp; HCO</em><em><sub>3</sub></em><em>ˉ</em><em> ions. In the natural environment carbonate alkalinity tends to make up most of the total alkalinity due to the common occurrence and dissolution of carbonate rocks and presence of CO</em><em>2</em><em> in the atmosphere. Alkalinity varies with the location Acid-base titration is performed for their estimation but the theoretical determination for the type and extent of these ions is tedious process through traditional formulas known to us, (Volume of acid used up till Phenolphthalein &amp; Methyl orange end point). Here in this paper we are trying to simplify the method and reporting the direct determination of the extent of ions by simple calculation without using the formulas for specific ions under different conditions of alkalinity. Thus a comparative aspect of this approach with traditional method will be covered by us in this paper.</em>

Abstract The alkalinity and acidity of water are parameters of great importance for studies of aquatic ecosystems. This paper describes the determination of total alkalinity by using acid-base titration with trichloroacetic acid solution as titrant. Total acidity is determined by titration with ammonium hydroxide solution. Both titrations are monitored conductometrically. Performance is evaluated and compared with performance of the potentiometric titration. Automated conductometric titration is simple, fast (30 s/titration), sensitive (detection limit 0.1 ppm CaC03), and accurate. Relative error of the determination increased from about 1% at high levels to about 10% at 1 ppm CaC03. The relative standard deviation of alkalinity measurements ranged from to 5%; for acidity, these values ranged from 1.5 to 17%. Relative standard deviation reached 33% at lower detection limits. Samples containing noncarbonate contributory components of alkalinity (borate, silicate, phosphate, organic acids) can be reproducibly analyzed.

Multifold ground coverage by seismic techniques such as the common reflection point method provides a multiplicity of wave travel path information which allows direct determination of root‐mean‐square velocities associated with such paths. Hyperbolic searches for semblance among appropriately gathered arrays of traces form the basis upon which velocities are estimated. Measured semblances are presented as a velocity spectral display. Interpretation of this information can give velocities with meaningful accuracy for primary as well as multiple events. In addition, the velocity data can help correctly label events. This paper outlines the fundamental principles for calculating velocity spectra displays. Examples are included which demonstrate the depth and detail of geological information which may be obtained from the interpretation of such displays.

This paper introduces the common principals of theoretical matrix method for the direct determination of magnetic properties of transition metal ions, which is based on calculation of the full matrix of all the interactions. In this work this method was used to calculating, study and analysis the magnitude of magnetic moment of Co2+ ion in crystal fields with different symmetry.

The determination of a volatile fatty acid content (FOS) and total alkalinity (TAC) can be carried out using Nordmann’s FOS/TAC titration method developed in the 1970s. This two-point titration (pH = 5 and 4.4) can be simply implemented and is widely employed by both the academic and industrial worlds. However, the present study proves that Nordmann’s method is only valid in limited ranges, since the titration of one FOS and TAC has an impact on the determination of the other, especially in extreme conditions. The present work develops a numerical tool with Scilab simulating the acid–base equilibria of titration. The program is efficient in predicting the experimental equivalent volumes obtained from Nordmann’s method with different combinations of sodium acetate and sodium bicarbonate contents. The mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) between the simulation and experiment are below 7%. Two new formulas are developed, considering both equivalent volumes at pH = 5 and 4.4 to calibrate FOS and TAC values. The proposed formulas show their good performance in predicting various combinations of FOS and TAC contents in an anaerobic digestate at TAC ranging from 0 to 20,000 mg CaCO3·L−1 and FOS ranging from 0 to 31,000 mg HAc·L−1.
