Free chlorine reacts, also when iodide is absent, immediately with 1-amino-4-diethyl-aminobenzene hydrogen sulphate (DPD-sulphate) by forming a red coloured compound. After adding potassium iodide, bound chlorine also reacts with DPD-sulphate by forming a red coloured compound. By titrating this red coloured compound with iron(II)-ammonium sulphate solution until it is colourless, the free and bound chlorine content can be determined. |
