Oxygen can lead to corrosion in many parts of a boiler. Oxygen scavengers are

added to the water to eliminate oxygen and thus decrease the chance of corrosion.

Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) is a volatile oxygen scavenger used in boilers. It can

also passivate steel and has a low toxicity.

APPLICATION:

Boilers

RANGE:

0.000–0.700 ppm DEHA (Diethylhydroxylamine)

0.000–0.900 ppm Carbohydrazide

0.00–3.00 ppm Erythorbic Acid

0.00–1.80 ppm Hydroquinone

0.00–3.00 ppm Methylethylketoxime

MDL:

0.005 ppm DEHA

0.005 ppm Carbohydrazide

0.02 ppm Erythorbic Acid

0.01 ppm Hydroquanine

0.02 ppm Methylethylketoxime

METHOD:

Ferric iron is reduced to ferrous iron by oxygen

scavengers in proportion to the concentration in the

sample. The resulting ferrous iron reacts with an

indicator to produce a purple color.

SAMPLE HANDLING

& PRESERVATION:

Analyze samples immediately. Rinse sample containers

and glassware with 1:1 hydrochloric acid to avoid iron

contamination.

INTERFERENCES:

Other oxygen scavengers, such as DEHA,

carbohydrazide, erythorbic acid, hydroquinone and

methylethylketoxime will interfere. Stray light and

substances which complex iron or reduce ferric iron will

also interfere.
