32、 EN 16962:2018EN 16962:2018 (E)1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for the extraction of water soluble forms of boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc from mineral fertilizers containing one or more micro-nutrients and the procedure for removal of organic compounds

33、from the water extracts.The extracts can be analysed according to EN 16963, EN 16965, prEN 17041, prEN 17042, prEN 17043 and CEN/TS 17060.2 Normative referencesThe following documents in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

37、tions given in EN 12944-1 and EN 12944-2 apply.4 PrincipleThe micro-nutrients are extracted by shaking the fertilizer sample in water at (20 2) C. Extracts are acidified after the extraction to avoid hydrolysis. Organic matter is removed if necessary by boiling after addition of hydrogen peroxide.5

38、Sampling and sample preparationSampling and sample preparation are not part of this Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1 2 and a recommended sample preparation method in EN 1482-2 3.6 ReagentsAll reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade and they shall have negligible

39、 concentration of the element to be determined if compared to the lowest concentration of that element in the sample solution.6.1 Water for extraction, grade 2 according to EN ISO 3696, free from micro-nutrients.7BS EN 16962:2018EN 16962:2018 (E)6.2 Nitric acid 65 %, c(HNO3) = 14,3 mol/l; = 1,42 g/m

40、l.6.2.1 Diluted nitric acid solution, c(HNO3) = 5 mol/l.Add 350 ml of nitric acid (6.2) to 650 ml of water (6.1).6.3 Hydrogen peroxide solution 30 % H2O2, = 1,11 g/ml, free from micro-nutrients.6.4 Hydrochloric acid 37 % HCl, c(HCl) = 12 mol/l, = 1,18 g/ml.6.4.1 Diluted hydrochloric acid solution, c

41、HCl) = 5 mol/l.Add 420 ml of hydrochloric acid (6.4) to 580 ml of water (6.1).7 ApparatusIf the boron content is to be determined it is recommended to minimize contact of all solutions with borosilicate glassware. Use suitable plastic or silica ware especially for extraction step and for removal of

42、 organic compounds. Glass volumetric flasks may be used for making up to volume but shall not be used for storage of extracts and solutions.7.1 Shaker, rotary or horizontal eccentric shaker.Shaking shall prevent any settling of the sample during extraction.7.2 Electric hotplate, equipped with variab

44、 content 10 %For samples with a micro-nutrient content of 10 % weigh (5 0,005) g of the prepared sample, transfer the sample quantitatively to a 500 ml extraction vessel (7.3) and add (250 0,2) ml of water (6.1) at (20 2) C.8.1.2 Micro-nutrient content 10 %For samples with a micro-nutrient content o

45、f 10 % weigh (2 0,002) g of the prepared sample, transfer the sample quantitatively to a 1 000 ml extraction vessel (7.3) and add (500 0,5) ml of water (6.1) at (20 2) C.8 BS EN 16962:2018EN 16962:2018 (E)8.2 ExtractionClose the vessel tightly and shake vigorously by hand to disperse the sample. The

46、n place the vessel on the shaker (7.1) and shake for 60 min. The intensity of shaking shall be adjusted to prevent any settling of the sample during the extraction. The temperature of the extraction solution shall be kept at (20 2) C during the whole extraction time. Filter the extract if necessary

47、immediately after the extraction into a plastic vessel. Use ash-free filter paper of recognized and tested quality (7.4) and discard the first portion of the filtrate (approximately 20 ml). Pipette 20 ml of the extract into a 25 ml volumetric flask, add 2,5 ml of diluted nitric acid solution (6.2.1)

48、 fill to the mark with water (6.1) and mix well. The final concentration of nitric acid is 0,5 mol/l.Account shall be taken of this dilution when taking aliquot portions and calculating the percentage of micro-nutrient in the sample.Prepare a blank test solution following the same procedure as for

49、samples.Acidification of the water extract with nitric acid is not suitable for spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum according to prEN 17043. In this case hydrochloric acid (6.4) shall be added; the final concentration of hydrochloric acid is 0,5 mol/l. Acidification with hydrochloric acid shall be used also if precipitation of Fe(III) is observed after the addition of nitric acid. If boron is not to be determined standard glassware may be used. If the measurement is not carried out immediate
