19、 the purpose of this method, anhydrous cadmium chloride is considered to be a primary standard. Care should be taken to protect the solid reagent from excess exposure to air. Prepare a solution of approximately 0.010-M cadmium chloride as follows: 2. Weigh 1.83 g 0.01 g, to the nearest 0.0001 g, of

20、dried anhydrous cadmium chloride into a clean dry 100-mL beaker. 3. Quantitatively transfer with water the contents of the beaker to a 1000-mL volumetric flask. 4. By pipet, add 1 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid and make up to volume with water. Discard after two months or if the solution becom

21、es cloudy or a precipitate forms. Prepare a solution of approximately 0.025-M cadmium chloride as follows: 1. Weigh 4.60 g 0.01 g, to the nearest 0.0001 g, of dried anhydrous cadmium chloride into a clean dry 100-mL beaker. 2. Quantitatively transfer with water the contents of the beaker to a 1000-m

22、L volumetric flask. 3. By pipet, add 1 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid and make up to volume with water. Discard after two months or if the solution becomes cloudy or a precipitate forms. Calculate the exact molarity of the titrants prepared, using the Equation 1: M = 31.183W (1) where: M = mol

23、arity of the cadmium chloride solution W = mass of dried cadmium chloride, g 183.31 = molecular weight of cadmium chloride, g/mole, multiplied by one liter Electrode Preparation and Reconditioning Proper electrode preparation is essential to obtain reproducible and noise-free titration curves having

24、 good endpoints. The electrode should be reconditioned on a weekly basis when in use, and should be reconditioned if it is used for any titrations other than sulfur compounds. It is recommended that an electrode be dedicated to sulfur analysis. Prepare and recondition the silver-silver sulfide elect

25、rode as follows: 1. Clean the silver surface with a cleaning pad. Rinse with water and dry with a wiper. 2. Immerse the electrode in a solution consisting of 2 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide, 90 mL of 2-propanol, and 8 mL of the aqueous sodium sulfide solution. Add a stir bar. 3. Slowly add a

26、pproximately 10 ml of 0.01-N alcoholic silver nitrate solution over a period of 10 minutes while stirring at a moderate speed. A film of silver sulfide will be deposited on the silver electrode. 4. Wipe off the excess silver sulfide from the electrode with a wiper. The electrode should be cleaned af

27、ter each titration by rinsing with water. 4 of 6 683-11 Determination of Sulfide emf Inflection Point 1. Assemble and operate the titrator and the electrode according to the manufacturers instructions. 2. Fill the dispenser reservoir of the titrator with the 0.025-M cadmium chloride solution. 3. Usi

28、ng a pipet, transfer 1 mL of 1-% sodium sulfide solution into a 250-mL beaker. Add 100 mL of water by graduated cylinder. Add a stir bar. 4. Place the beaker on the titration stand, immerse the electrodes and buret tip, and stir. If using the automatic sample changer, place the beaker in the rack an

29、d start the program. Obtain a stable reading before proceeding to Step 5. If using sample changer, this is part of the program 5. Titrate the sodium sulfide solution using the 0.025-M cadmium chloride. Determine the emf of sulfide at the inflection point of the titration curve. If more than one infl

30、ection occurs, the sulfide inflection is defined as the one occurring at approximately the established sulfide emf value. Confirm the sulfide emf inflection point periodically or when operating parameters or equipment such as electrodes and titrator are changed. A typical titration curve is shown in

31、 the Figure. Figure Typical Titration Curve Sample Analysis 1. Prepare the titrator and the electrode for operation according to the manufacturers instructions. 2. Weigh into a tared beaker, to the nearest 0.0001 g, a mass of sample appropriate to the expected sulfur concentration, see Table 1. The

32、volume of titrant to be used should be 5 mL or greater. 3. Add water, if needed, see Table 1. Using a pipet, add 1 mL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide to the beaker. Add a stir bar. If the expected sulfide concentration is low, less than 10 ppm, direct titration of waste water is recommended witho

33、ut additional water, see Table 1. 5 of 6 683-11 If the expected sulfide concentration is not known, analyze as though the sample concentration is 1000 mg/kg. Once an estimated concentration is obtained, reanalyze the sample, if necessary, using the recommended conditions in Table 1. Table 1 Recommen

Set the beaker

35、 containing the sample on the titrator stand, insert the electrode and disperser tip, and stir. 5. Select either the 0.010-M or 0.025-M, see Table 1, cadmium chloride solution for titrating. Start the titration, observe the inflections, and record the corresponding volume of titrant dispensed. If mo

36、re than one inflection occurs, use the emf determined in Determination of Sulfide emf Inflection Point to define the sulfide inflection and the corresponding volume. Calculations Calculate the concentration of sulfide as sulfur using Equation 2. Report the result to the nearest mg/kg. Note, the resu

39、ision A nested design was carried out for determining sulfide on three samples by two analysts, with each 6 of 6 683-11 analyst performing analyses on two separate days, performing two analyses each day for a total of 24 analyses. Using a stepwise analysis of variance procedure, the within-day estim

40、ated standard deviations (esd) were calculated at the concentration means listed in Table 2. Two analyses performed in one laboratory by the same analyst on the same day should not differ by more than the repeatability allowable differences shown in Table 2 with 95% confidence. Two analyses performe

41、d in one laboratory by different analysts on different days should not differ by more than the site precision allowable differences shown in Table 2 with 95% confidence.

When the test is run routinely, use of a control standard and a control chart is recommended to generate an estimate o
