Abstract
A method for measuring an iodine adsorption number of carbon black includes: (a) electrochemically reducing an unknown amount of iodine adsorbed by a predetermined amount of a carbon black sample; (b) measuring the electrical charge used for reducing the unknown amount of the iodine adsorbed by the carbon black sample; and (c) obtaining the iodine adsorption number from the measured electrical charge. An electrolytic cell and a kit for measuring an iodine adsorption number of carbon black are also disclosed.

A method for measuring an iodine adsorption number of carbon black, comprising:
- (a) electrochemically reducing an unknown amount of iodine adsorbed by a predetermined amount of a carbon black sample;
- (b) measuring the electrical charge used for reducing the unknown amount of the iodine adsorbed by the carbon black sample;
- and
- (c) obtaining the iodine adsorption number from the measured electrical charge.
An electrolytic cell for measuring an iodine adsorption number of carbon black, comprising:
- a cathode made from an iodine-adsorbed carbon black sample that contains a predetermined amount of a carbon black sample and iodine adsorbed on said carbon black sample;
- an anode;
- and
- an electrolyte in contact with said cathode and said anode.
A kit for measuring an iodine adsorption number of carbon black, comprising:
- an iodine agent to be adsorbed by a carbon black sample and
- an electrolytic cell for electrochemically reducing the iodine agent adsorbed by the carbon black sample, the electrolytic cell including an anode, an electrolyte, and a cathode-connecting conductor adapted for connection with a cathode made from the carbon black sample that adsorbs the iodine agent.
