2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of glasssands. They are useful for either high-silica sands(99 % + silica (SiO2) or f
3、or high-alumina sands containing asmuch as 12 to 13 % alumina (Al2O3). Generally nonclassical,the test methods are rapid and accurate. They include thedetermination of silica and of total R2O3(see 11.2.4), and theseparate determination of total iron as iron oxide (Fe2O3),titania (TiO2), chromium oxi
4、de (Cr2O3), zirconia (ZrO2), andignition loss. Included are procedures for the alkaline earthsand alkalies. High-alumina sands may contain as much as 5 to6 % total alkalies and alkaline earths. It is recommended thatthe alkalies be determined by flame photometry and thealkaline earths by absorption

Tap the charge so it lies evenly in the bottom of the dish.Cover evenly with an additional 1.0 g of Na2CO3. Cover withthe platinum lid and heat first at a dull red heat over a cleano
29、xidizing flame; gradually raise the temperature until a clearmelt is obtained. Properly carried out, little or no spatteringshould occur, and the fusion can be performed in 3 to 4 min.When melted, rotate the melt to spread it evenly over thebottom and lower sides of the dish, gradually withdrawingfr
30、om the flame. Cover and cool to room temperature. Duringfusion, the dish should be handled at all times with platinum-tipped tongs and the fusion performed with a platinum (pref-erably 90 % platinum and 10 % rhodium alloy) or silicatriangle.NOTE 2To obtain accurate repeat weighings, platinum ware mu
31、st bekept scrupulously clean on the outside of the vessel as well as on theinside. It should be polished brightly with fine, round grain sand andprotected from dirty surfaces. It is recommended that porcelain plates beused for cooling fusions, and that platinum be set on paper towels or otherclean m

Total R2O3by Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH)Precipitation11.1 General ConsiderationsThe weight of sample takenfor analysis is governed by the amount of Al2O3known orsuspected t
43、o be present. Sands low in Al2O3(0.05 to 0.5 %)require a 5- to 10-g sample; sands with larger amounts of Al2O3require a 0.5- to 1.0-g sample. Usually experience or priorinformation will indicate a satisfactory sample weight. Thetotal R2O3serves as a check on the sum of the R2O3oxidesdetermined separ
44、ately. It also helps to identify an unknownsand as a low- or high-alumina type.11.2 Procedure:11.2.1 Weigh a suitable weight of sample into an 80- to100-mL platinum dish, moisten, and add 10 mL of HF for eachgram of sample taken; add 4 mL of H2SO4(1 + 1) andevaporate to the first fuming of H2SO4(Not
45、e 3). Cool,carefully wash down the sides of the dish with a minimum ofwater, and evaporate to the cessation of H2SO4fumes. Cool,add 10 to 15 mL of HCl (1 + 1), 20 mL of hot water, and digesthot until the salts are in solution. If they do not dissolve readily,transfer to a beaker, police the dish, an
46、d boil the solution untilthe sulfates have dissolved (Note 4).NOTE 3Some sands may contain small amounts of organic matter asshown by the presence of carbon or carbonaceous material in theconcentrated H2SO4. If this is the case, add 2 to 3 mL of HNO3and 10 to15 drops of HClO4, and proceed.NOTE 4High
47、-alumina sands are generally mixtures of quartz andaluminum silicates of the feldspar group. Some of these silicates cancontain barium. If a fine, white, insoluble precipitate persists, it isprobably barium sulfate. In this case, partially neutralize the HCl until thesolution is about 1 to 2 % acid,
48、 add about ten drops of H2SO4(1 + 1) andboil gently for about 30 min. Cool, and after 1 to 2 h, filter the solutionthrough a fine paper. The precipitate may be ignited and weighed andsubsequently tested for barium. If the precipitate is not barium sulfate, itshould be tested for silica. If the preci
49、pitate is neither of these, it can beconsidered R2O3and added to the R2O3found by ammonia precipitation.11.2.2 If the expected R2O3is about 10 mg, dilute thesample to about 75 to 100 mL; if much larger, dilute to about200 to 250 mL. Add approximately2gofNH4Cl, heat toboiling, add three to four drops of methyl red indicator solutionand precipitate the R2O3with the addition of NH4OH (1 + 1).Add the NH4OH slowly, stirring to obtain a sharp end point;finally add about four drops in excess for small amounts ofprecipitate and up to eight drops for large amounts.
