Foreword
This document complies with the rules of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document supersedes GB/T 11136-1989 "Determination of Bromine Index in Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Voltage Titration)" and is consistent with GB/T 11136-1989.
In comparison, aside from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) The scope of application has been changed (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 1989 edition);
b) The "dead stop point" potentiometric titrator section has been removed from the instrumentation section, and the "dead stop point" potentiometric titrator section in Appendix A of GB/T 11136-1989 has also been removed.
The circuit diagram for the titrator has been revised, removing the step of determining the bromine index using a "dead stop point" potentiometric titrator (see Chapter 5, 5.1 of the 1989 edition).
8.4 and Appendix A);
c) The preparation of the starch indicator solution has been modified, and mercuric iodide reagent is no longer added (see 6.18, 7.4 of the 1989 edition);
d) The preparation of the titration solvent was changed from "1,1,1-trichloroethane (trichloromethane) and methanol" to "dichloromethane and anhydrous ethanol".
"Alcohol" (see 6.22, 7.2 in the 1989 edition);
e) The volume precision of the standard solution added during the standardization process of potassium bromide-potassium bromate standard solution has been increased to "accurate to 0.01 mL" (see...).
6.23);
f) The option to use an 80 mL titration solvent has been added, and the corresponding sample volume requirements have been added to Table 1 (see 7.3, Table 1);
g) The contents of the "Report" have been changed (see Chapter 9, Chapter 11 of the 1989 edition);
h) Added content on "Quality Control" (see Chapter 10);
i) The precision was changed (see Chapter 11, Chapter 10 in the 1989 edition).

Introduction
This document provides a test method for determining the bromine index of petroleum hydrocarbons using a potentiometric titrator. The bromine index indicates the components of petroleum hydrocarbons that can react with bromine.
The total amount of substances. A higher bromine index indicates a higher content of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the sample. In the production of petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and lubricating oil, this value is an important indicator for measuring the stability of petroleum products. In some chemical production processes (such as long-chain alkylation reactions), the bromine index can also be used.
A rough estimate of the product conversion rate is made. The bromine index in petroleum hydrocarbons with a final boiling point below 288°C is determined to evaluate the suitability of the light fraction as a reaction solvent.
Applicability.
When converting the bromine index to bromine value, it needs to be divided by a factor of 1000.For petroleum fractions with a bromine index greater than 1000 mg/100g (as Br), this applies.
For industrial aliphatic olefins, the GB/T 11135 method was used for determination to obtain more accurate results; the bromine index of industrial aromatics was determined using...
The determination was performed using methods SH/T 1551 and SH/T 1767; the bromine index of liquid petroleum ash and white oil was determined using method NB/SH/T 0995.
When selecting a measurement method, pay attention to the applicable scope of each standard method.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
bromine index
The mass of bromine consumed in the reaction with 100g of sample under specified test conditions.
Note. Expressed in mg/100g (as Br).
4 Method Overview
A known mass of the sample is dissolved in a solvent maintained at 0°C~5°C, and then titrated with a potassium bromide-potassium bromate standard solution.
When the presence of free bromine in the solution causes a sudden jump in the potential of the potentiometric titrator, it indicates that the titration endpoint has been reached.
5 Instruments and Equipment
5.1 Potentiometric Titrator. Any instrument with a high-resistivity polarized current source capable of titrating to a preset endpoint can be used. The instrument has two platinum electrodes.
The interelectrode voltage should be maintained at approximately 0.8V, and the sensitivity should be such that the electrode can indicate the titration endpoint when the potential change is around 50mV. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a product or service.) Suitable potentiometric titrators of his type, including some pH meters, can be used.
