Filter approximately 30 cm3of toluene into the flask andstopper the flask.7.4 Pour a portion of the toluene into the beaker with thepouring lip for simplifying the transfer of the toluene to thecuvet.7.5 Rinse the cuvet with the filtered to

Donot touch the smooth, clear sides with the fingers.7.6 Fill the cuvet and wipe the outside surfaces with t

18、helint-free wiping paper while holding the cuvet in front of asuitable light source. The toluene must be free of anycontaminants, such as lint particles, which might cause lightscattering, thus influencing the test results. If necessary, rewipethe outside until perfectly clean, or clean the inside s

Procedure8.1 Dry an adequate sample of carbon black at 125 6 1Cfor 60, +5, 0 min, using a gravity-convection

20、oven.NOTE 2An infrared lamp must not be used for drying samples, as itwill vaporize some of the extractable materials.8.2 Allow the sample to cool to room temperature in adesiccator.8.3 Weigh 2.00 6 0.01 g of the carbon black and transfer itto a 125-cm3Erlenmeyer flask with ground-glass stopper.8.4

21、Add 20 cm3of toluene to the sample flask and stopperthe flask.NOTE 3If necessary, larger quantities of carbon black and toluene maybe used, but the quantities must remain in this ratio of 1 g/10 cm3oftoluene.8.5 Without delay, shake the mixture vigorously either byhand or machine for 60, +5, 0 s.8.6

22、 Immediately pour as much of the mixture as possibleinto the glass funnel with filter paper, which has previouslybeen prepared and inserted into an Erlenmeyer flask.8.7 The filtrate must be free of visible carbon blackparticles, otherwise the sample preparation shall be repeated(8.3). If the problem

23、 persists, use filter paper with smaller poresize for this particular sample.8.8 As soon as filtration is complete, stopper the flask untilready to test.8.9 Check standardization of the spectrophotometer at 425nm in accordance with Section 7.8.10 Pour a portion of filtrate out of the stoppered flask

24、 intoa beaker with a pouring lip.8.11 Using a cuvet matched to the one in 7.5, or the samecuvet as used in 7.5, rinse and fill the cuvet in the same manneras in 7.5 and 7.6.8.12 Insert the cuvet into the spectrophotometer and recordthe percent transmittance obtained at 425 nm to the nearest0.1 %.9.
