Principle of the Knecht Method

Titanium trichloride is an extremely easily oxidized material which dissolves in water to form a violet solution. On oxidation, it is con­verted to the colorless titanic acid, Ti(OH)4. Using a titanium tri­chloride solution of known strength, it is possible to reduce quantita­tively dyes of various classes, the endpoint being taken as the point where the color of the dye disappears.

All azo dyes, as well as thiazine, safranine, triphenylmethane, indigo, and many other dyes, can be analyzed with great accuracy by means of

titanium trichloride. The method will be described here briefly, but reference should be made to Knecht’s publications for further details.
