Metallic oxides generally react with the iodine in <strong>Karl</strong> <strong>Fischer</strong> reagent in<br />

accordance with the following formula. In particular, alkaline metal and<br />

alkaline earth oxides (strong basicity) react quantitatively and rapidly.<br />

MO+2HI � MI2+H2O<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> substances, such as magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, silver<br />

(I)oxide, mercury (I) oxide and copper (I) oxide, react with <strong>Karl</strong> <strong>Fischer</strong><br />

reagent in accordance with the formula below.<br />

ZnO+I2+SO2+CH3OH�ZnI2+HSO4CH3<br />

Manganese dioxide reacts with <strong>Karl</strong> <strong>Fischer</strong> reagent as shown below.<br />

Lead dioxide and red lead cause similar reactions.<br />

MnO2+I2+2SO2+2CH2OH�MnI2+2HSO4CH3<br />

As a result, direct titration is not possible and moisture content is<br />

measured using the moisture vaporization method. For measurement<br />

using moisture vaporization, the heating temperature for normal<br />

adhesion water is set at 100~200�C. 119
