Potentiometric Determination of Bromide in Developer<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

This method contains two separate <strong>procedures</strong> for analysis of<br />

bromide. Procedure A is used for the analysis of fresh tank<br />

and fresh replenisher solutions. Procedure B is used for the<br />

analysis of seasoned tank and reconstituted replenisher<br />

solutions. Analysis of seasoned tank and reconstituted<br />

replenisher solutions using Procedure A will result in<br />

erroneously high results-as much as 0.3 g/L. This effect is<br />

dependent upon seasoning; aging is not a factor.<br />

Procedure A—The sample is acidified and then titrated<br />

potentiometrically with silver nitrate.<br />

Procedure B—Bromide enrichment by selective<br />

precipitation is utilized. All of the bromide is precipitated as<br />

silver bromide along with minor amounts of other silver<br />

salts, by the addition of a small excess of silver to an<br />

acidified sample of seasoned developer. The silver salts are<br />

filtered and developed by a silver halide developer, releasing<br />

soluble bromide. The sample is filtered again, the filtrate is<br />

acidified,<br />

As an aid in selecting the proper inflection point and<br />

detecting instrument trouble or <strong>analytical</strong> errors, a set of<br />

standard titration curves of all developers should be kept on<br />

file. Such curves can be compared with the general shape and<br />

relative position of any routine titration curve. Typical<br />

titration curves are shown in Figures 1 and 2 as an aid in<br />

determining the increment size to use in the region of the end<br />

point and the expected potential change in millivolts.<br />

This method requires handling potentially hazardous<br />

chemicals. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for each<br />

chemical before use. MSDS's are available from your<br />

chemical supplier.<br />
