Apparatus18.1 PhotometerA spectrophotometer or a

33、photoelectricphotometer with a band pass filter having maximum transmit-tance at about 435 nm. Matched absorption cells, 1 to 5 cm inpath length may be used, however, cells 2 to 5 cm in pathlength are preferred.NOTE 5For definitions of terms used in this procedure, refer toTerminology E131. The cm u

34、nit is not a preferred submultiple of the metrebut it is used by Committee E13 on Molecular Microscopy. (SeeTerminology E131).19. Reagents and Materials19.1 Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4).19.2 Copper Sulfate, Standard Solution (1 cm3= 0.1 mgCu)Dissolve 0.393 g of copper sulfate (CuSO45H2O) inwater, add

35、 3 cm3of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4,density = 1.84 Mg/m3), and dilute to 1 cm3with water. Thissolution should remain stable for at least a month.19.3 Copper Sulfate, Standard Solution (1 cm3= 0.01 mgCu)Dilute 10 cm3of the CuSO4solution (1 cm3= 0.1 mgCu) to 100 cm3with water.

37、ally suitable for use as a reagent. Lower blanks and more rapidextractions, however, may be obtained with the purified reagent.Amethodof preparation of pure reagent is available in the literature.620. Preparation of Calibration Curve20.1 Pipet 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4-cm3separate portions of standardCuSO4s

38、olution (1 cm3= 0.01 mg Cu) into separate separatoryfunnels. Add 5 cm3of HNO3(19.4) to each funnel and diluteto about 100 cm3. With a pipet add 25 cm3of zinc dibenzyl-dithiocarbamate solution to each funnel if 2 to 5-cm absorptioncells are to be used, or 10 cm3of the solution if 1-cm cells areto be

39、used.20.2 Proceed with the extraction as described in 21.1 andmeasure the absorbance of the CCl4solution as described in21.1, using the solution with no added copper as the referencesolution.20.3 Prepare a calibration curve by plotting the relationshipbetween copper concentration and absorbance. The

40、 calibrationcurve should be checked whenever necessary, depending onlocal conditions and on the type of instrument used.21. Procedure21.1 Ash a 10-g specimen wrapped in filter paper inaccordance with Section 15. Ash a blank consisting of the filterpaper in the same manner and carry it through the pr

41、ocedure inthe same manner as the specimen. Add 10 cm3of HNO3(19.4)to the crucible and digest the mixture on a steam bath for 30min. Transfer the solution to a 100-cm3volumetric flask. Cooland dilute it to the 100-cm3mark with water. Pipet 50 cm3ofthe solution into a separatory funnel and dilute to a

42、bout 100cm3with water. With a pipet add 25 cm3of zinc dibenzyldi-thiocarbamate solution if 2 to 5-cm absorption cells are to beused or add 10 cm3of the solution if the 1-cm cells are to beused. Shake the mixture vigorously for 1 min, allow the layersto separate, and draw off the CCl4layer through a

43、funnelcontaining a plug of absorbent cotton, directly into the absorp-tion cell. Leave a small amount of CCl4in the separatoryfunnel so as to avoid introducing water into the cell. If thereagents are sufficiently pure, this one extraction is sufficient.Each new reagent solution shall be tested. If a

44、 second succes-sive extraction removes additional copper, it will be necessaryto make additional extractions and combine the extracts. In thiscase combine the extracts in a 50-cm3volumetric flask anddilute with the reagent to the 50-cm3mark.21.2 Measure the absorbance with a spectrophotometer at435

45、nm or, if a photoelectric photometer is used, by using theappropriate filter. Use the blank solution as the referencesolution. Determine the concentration of copper in the testsolution from the absorbance reading and the calibration curve(20.3). Express the result in milligrams of copper per kilogra

46、mof rubber (parts per million).22.
