CP/0/B/8150/04 DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION CHEMISTRY PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF DISSOINED OXYGEN, AUTO ANALYZER l.0 DISCUSSION 1.1 Scope This procedure describes the determination of dissolved oxygen in high purity water using the Weston and Stack Continuous Flow Analyzer.

1.2 Principle Dissolved oxygen in the high purity water sample diffuses through a semipermeable membrane which retains an electrolyte. Tee electrolyte surrounds a platinum and a lead electrode (Enclosure 6.2). Oxygen in the sample undergoes reduction a: the platinum electrode (or cathode) to form hydroxyl ions (Enclosure 6.1):

~

0 2 + 2 H2O + 4e'

  • 4 OH i

The hydroxyl ions formed simultaneously undergo oxidation at the lead electrode (or anode) to form an oxide (Enclosure 6.1):

~

2 Pb + 4 OH

  • 2 Pb0 + 2 H2O + 4e' Since the anode and ::athode are connected through an external circuit, a current is produced due to transfer of electrons. This current is related to the dissolved oxygen content in the water and is detected and measured by a sensitive amp meter in the analyzer.

l The oxidation - reduction reaction occurring in the sensor requires an applied potential of 0.5 volts or greater. The cathode and anode materials are therefore selected such that a generated or " galvanic" potential existing between the two metals will be adequate to support the oxidation - reduction reaction.

Compounds present in the electrolyte do not undergo oxidation -

reduction reactions at the potential of the probe; therefore, when oxygen is absent, a current does not flow and the reading frem the probe is zero.

The sample flow cell provides for a turbulent' flow past the probe

( membrane. Good agitation is required to minimize the resistance to oxygen transfer from the sample to the cathode.

Temperature variations of the sample are corrected for by the use of a thermistor. All samples pass through sample cooling heat exchangers to adjust temperature to 77'F prior to entering the probe.

Paga 2 of 4 1.3 Precision and Interferences 1.3.1 System accuracy with automatic temperature compensation is i i percent of the reading for sample temperatures within 10*C (50*F) of the calibration temperature.

1.3.2 The only known interference to the Weston and Stack D.O.

probe is free chlorine. If the sample is alkaline se that hypochlorous ion exists rather than free chlorine, there is no interference.

The following do not interfere: hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrazine.

1.3.3 Unless sufficiently agitated, the sample flow forms a stagnant film of deoxygenated water that will act as a diffusion barrier for dissolved oxygen.

1.4 Limits and Precautions 1.4.1 The formation of a coating (collodial iron hydroxide or rust particles) on the membrane decreases probe sensitivity.

1.4.2 The life of a membrane is more than six months when it is in constant use, as long as membrane damage does not occur.

1.4.3 When changing the membrane on the probe be careful to insure that there are no internal deposits of crystalized electrolyte or oxidised deposits on the anode that could puncture the membrane.

1.4.4 The probe will stabilize in 1 - 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> after changing the electrolyte and membrane. If the anode is cleaned at this time, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is required for stabilization.

l 1.4.5 Minimum flow through the sample flow cell is 150 ml/ min I

when using a 1 mil membrane, l

1.4.6 Air inleakage into the system must be avoided.

I 1.4.7 The recommended sample temperature is 50*C (122*F).

1.4.8 The probe must be recalibrated anytime the membrane is changed.

Electrolyte is commercially available from Weston and Stack in 32 ounce bottles, part number 096-003.

4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 Preparation of the Probe 4.1.1 Disassemble the probe as shown in Enclosure 6.2. Place the membrane, item No. 2 in the stainless staal holder, item No. 1.

4.1.2 Screw cap onto end of outer housing, item No. 3. Be careful not to overtighten.

4.1.3 Holding housing vertically, add approximately 100 ml of electrolyte (Section 3.0).

4.1.4 Slowly insert inner electrode, item No. 4, into the outer housing assembly.

4.1.5 Replace three screws and small nylon air bleeder screw.

NOTE: Air bubbles may tend to collect at the tip and around the lead anode. Gentle tapping of the probe will usually free these so they will escape to the top of the probe.

4.2 Calibration (Weekly) 4.2.1 Remove oxygen probe and thermistor from respective sample walls. Carefully wipe dry.

! 4.2.2 Place the function switch (Enclosure 6.4, Item No. 4) in i .

the "ZER0" position. Adjust the "ZER0" control (Enclosure 6.4, Item No. 3) for a zero reading.

I 4.2.3 Turn the function switch to the calibration position and adjust the " CAL" control (Enclosure 6.4, Item No. 2) until the meter reads full scale.

4.2.4 Recheck zero and adjust as necessary. If adjustment is necessary, place selector switch to " CAL" control and check for full scale deflection.
