(WarningFuming HClO4is a powerfuloxidant and can cause explosions when in contact with organicmaterials. All evaporati

34、ons must be performed in the presenceof HNO3and in a fume hood specifically designed for use withHClO4.)NOTE 2Nickel and some copper bearing nickel alloys, such as Monel,will dissolve more readily in HNO3(1 + 1).9.1.3 For samples containing less than 0.1 % chromium,omit the next step and proceed dir

35、ectly to 9.3.9.2 Removal of Chromium:9.2.1 Continue fuming for 3 min. Cautiously begin addingHCl drop by drop to the fuming solution in the partly coveredbeaker until colored fumes are no longer liberated. Thenresume fuming to re-oxidize the remaining chromium. Repeatthe treatment until no brown fum

36、es appear when the HCl isadded. Cool to room temperature.9.3 Complexation:9.3.1 Add 25 mL of HNO3(1 + 4) and 4 mL of HF to thesolution and heat for 8 min to 10 min until the precipitate isdissolved.NOTE 3It is important that the precipitated refractory oxides dissolvecompletely. If this does not hap

37、pen, add another 2 mLof HF and repeat theboiling. If the precipitate still remains undissolved, a new test sample ofa smaller weight must be taken for the analysis.9.3.2 Add 10 mL of sodium nitrite solution and boil thesolution for 10 min to reduce the residual dichromate and expelall nitrous fumes.

38、 Cautiously wash the beaker walls a few timeswith water during boiling.9.3.3 Add 40 mL of fluoroboric acid solution and rapidlycool the solution to between 20 C and 30 C, and proceedimmediately with the color development.NOTE 4The oxides might precipitate again if it required more than 10min to cool

39、 the solution.9.4 Color Development and Extraction:9.4.1 Add 10 mL of the ammonium metavanadate solutionand 15 mL of the hexaammonium heptamolybdate solution tothe cooled clear solution. Allow to stand at a temperaturebetween 18 C and 25 C for a minimum of 7 min, but notlonger than 15 min.9.4.2 Tran

40、sfer the solution to a 250-mL plastic separatoryfunnel that has been marked at the 100-mL level and, ifnecessary, make up to the mark with water.Add 10 mL of citricacid solution and immediately follow with 40 mL of 4-methyl-2-pentanone. Shake the funnel for 30 s.Allow the two layers toseparate and d

41、iscard the lower (aqueous) phase. Dry the insideof the stem of the separatory funnel with a small piece of filterpaper. Filter the organic layer through a dry filter paper into asmall dry beaker. Proceed immediately with the spectrometricmeasurement.9.5 Spectrometric Measurement:9.5.1 Ensure that th

42、e temperature of the solutions is constantto 6 1 C. Measure the absorbance of the solution with aspectrophotometer at a wavelength of 355 nm. Use 4-methyl-2-pentanone as the reference and cells with a 1 cm optical pathlength.9.6 Blank Test:9.6.1 Perform a blank test in parallel with the determinatio

43、nfollowing the same procedure and using the same quantities ofreagents as in the determination, but omitting the test portion.9.7 Calibration:9.7.1 Transfer (0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0) mL, respectively, of thephosphorus calibration solution to four plastic beakers. Theadditions correspond to (0, 0.025,

44、0.050, and 0.100) mg ofphosphorus. Proceed as directed in 9.1.2-9.5.1, but do not addany test portions.9.7.2 Subtract the absorbance of the “zero” solution fromthat of each solution containing phosphorus, and plot theabsorbance against the weight, in milligrams, of phosphorusadded.9.8 Number of Dete

45、rminations:9.8.1 Perform the determinations at least in duplicate.10. Calculation10.1 Correct the absorbance reading of the test solution bysubtracting the absorbance reading in the blank test. Convertthe net absorbance of the test solution into mg of phosphorusby means of the calibration graph.10.2

46、 Calculate the percentage by weight of phosphorus inthe test sample using the formula:% P 5 A/10B (1)where:A = the weight, mg, of phosphorus found in the testportion, andB = the weight, g, of the test portion.11.
