8、word This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Chemicals Industry Standards Committee in order to provide methods for the analysis of natural and artificial cryolite. In the drafting of this standard, account has been taken of methods adopted by the International Organizatio

9、n for Standardization (ISO), in the preparation of which the United Kingdom has been an active participant. It is intended to provide further methods, in the form of addenda to this standard, as the work of Technical Committee 47 Chemistry, and, in particular, ISO/TC47 Sub-committee7 Alumina and rel

10、ated compounds, advances. This standard prescribes methods of test only, and should not be used or quoted as a specification defining limits of purity. Reference to the standard should be in a form of words indicating that the methods of test used conform to BS5050. A British Standard does not purpo

13、es methods of test for natural and artificial cryolite having a NaF : AlF 3ratio of between3 and1.7. NOTEThe titles of the British Standards and ISO publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Preparation and storage of test samples 2.1 Introduction. This clause

14、is based on ISO/R1619, modified to take into account the comments made by the United Kingdom during its development. The method described is intended for the preparation of two test samples from a laboratory sample which shall be representative of the material under test, the two samples being: a) a

15、 crude sample for moisture determination and certain physical tests, and b) a ground and dried analytical sample for other tests. 2.2 Preparation of crude sample. Thoroughly mix3 kg of the laboratory sample and place approximately300g of it in an airtight container of such a capacity that it is near

16、ly filled by the sample. 2.3 Preparation of analytical sample 2.3.1 Principle. The sample is ground, sieved until the whole passes through a0.125mm aperture sieve, well mixed and dried at110 C. 2.3.2 Procedure. Sieve approximately100g of the laboratory sample using a0.125mm aperture sieve, complying

17、 with the requirements of BS410 and constructed of a material that cannot cause introduction of the impurities that are being determined. Select the sieve material in relation to the nature of the impurities to be determined. Grind the material remaining on the sieve in a corundum mortar and sieve a

18、gain. Add the sieved part previously obtained and mix carefully. Repeat the crushing, sieving and mixing operations until none of the material remains on the sieve. Place the sample thus prepared in a platinum dish and dry for2h in an electric oven, ventilated by convection and controlled at110 2 C.

19、 Then allow to cool in a desiccator containing fresh phosphorus pentoxide and keep the dried sample in an airtight container of a capacity such that it is nearly filled by the sample. 3 Determination of silica content 3.1 Introduction.
