Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Karl Fischer water determinaton for moisture sensitive materials for electric vehicles and pharmaceutical use

Abstract

When using materials that are sensitive to moisture and water, unwanted side reactions can result in the formation of by-products, toxic substances, reduced yields and even occupational accidents. In the pharmaceutical industry and in the production of Li-ion batteries, humidity, moisture and water control of raw materials and intermediate products are of particular importance. One suitable method is Karl Fischer titration. In this work, a life cycle cost analysis of Karl Fischer water determination is presented.
