Certified Reference Material to Water Content Determination in Bioethanol Fuel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioethanol is a strategic biofuel in Brazil. Thus, a strong metrological basis for its measurements is required to ensure the quality and promote its exportation. Recently, Inmetro certified a reference material for water content in bioethanol. This paper presents the results of these studies. The characterization, homogeneity, short-term stability and long-term stability uncertainty contributions values were 0.00500, 0.0166, 0.0355 and 0.0391 mg g, respectively. The certificated value for water content of bioethanol fuel was (3.65 ± 0.11) mg g. This CRM is the first and up to now the unique in the world.

Characterization of certified reference material for the quantification of water in bioethanol.
The National Metrology Institute of Japan has issued a certified reference material of bioethanol (NMIJ CRM 8301-a) for the quantification of water, methanol, sulfur, and copper. This paper presents technical details for the characterization of the water in NMIJ CRM 8301-a. The characterization was performed using coulometric and volumetric Karl-Fischer (KF) titrations. To reduce moisture absor...
