The shape of the curves do not resemble common weak acid titration curves this is due to the high number of different acidic groups, mainly carboxylic and phenolic, with varying dissociation constants the modeling of these curves will be treated in Chapter 13. 

One of the most important problems in analytical chemistry is the identification and determination of a substance in a pure form or in a mixture. To solve this problem, wide use is made of methods of functional group analysis, the object of which is the qualitative and quantitative determination of various functional groups in a sample or in its fractions. 

In functional group analysis, wide use is made of chemical methods as they are universal and selective. Their use is based on the analytical utilization of the chemical properties of organic compounds [1—8]. Such methods are essential in industry for analysing various industrial mixtures and in investigations of new compounds, as well as in studying the composition of complex mixtures occurring in nature or formed during chemical conversions. 

The scheme for the identification of an organic compound by chemical methods usually consists of the following stages (1) separation of an individual component or a group of individual components from a mixture (2) chemical conversion of an isolated fraction to produce substances that characterize the functional group composition of the 

An important preliminary step in the second stage is the determination of the carbon. dceleton and the elemental composition of the components of the mixture. To find the elemental composition, it is reasonable to use detectors that determine selectively nitrogen-, sulphur-, phosphorus- and halogen-containing compounds [9—12]. 

The above features of functional group gas chromatographic analysis led to rapid progress in its development (see, for instance, refs. 13-16).

Functional Group Analysis. The total hydroxyl content of lignin is determined by acetylation with an acetic anhydride—pyridine reagent followed by saponification of the acetate, and followed by titration of the resulting acetic acid with a standard 0.05 W sodium hydroxide solution. Either the Kuhn-Roth (35) or the modified Bethge-Liadstrom (36) procedure may be used to determine the total hydroxyl content. The aUphatic hydroxyl content is determined by the difference between the total and phenoHc hydroxyl contents. 

The molecular stmcture of the copolymers is also important. Molecular-weight measurements (osmometry, gpc) and functional group analysis are useful. Block copolymers require supermolecular (morphological) stmctural information as well. A listing of typical copolymer characterization tools and methods is shown in Table 6.

Quantitative FT-IR functional group analysis was performed on the starting coals, preliquefaction residua, chloroform extracts, oils, and asphaltenes. 

Consideration must be given to the quantity of sample needed for the minimum detection ]imits of the instrumental technique used. A number of techniques have been ranked in order of increasing amounts of material needed as follows mass spectroscopy (1 - 10 yg), chemical spot tests (1 - 100 yg), infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy (10 - 200 yg), melting point (0.1 -1 mg), elemental analysis (0.5 - 5 mg), boiling point (1 - 10 mg), functional group analysis (1 - 20 mg), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1-25 mg). 

The term functional group analysis sometimes is used to describe the foregoing kinds of analyses.
