13、s will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS5202-9:1992 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope This International Standard specifies two methods for the spectrometric determination of alkaloid retention by filters of cigarettes: the direct method; the indirect method. The methods are appli

14、cable to filter cigarettes. The direct method shall be used unless it is not applicable owing to incomplete recovery of the retained alkaloids from the filter material (for example, with some types of charcoal filters). The indirect method is not applicable to cigarettes with perforated or porous fi

15、lter tipping wraps. This International Standard is not applicable in the case of filters having an irreversible nicotine retention and equipped with perforated or porous wrapping. NOTE 1These methods determine the retention only of alkaloids of tobacco smoke, expressed as nicotine. The retention of

16、other substances present in the mainstream smoke is not necessarily related to the alkaloid retention. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editio

39、 sample Select from the laboratory sample prepared in accordance with clause 7 the required number of filter cigarettes for the set of smoking runs to be carried out and condition them in accordance with ISO 3402 in the conditioning enclosure (6.1). 8.1.2 Determination 8.1.2.1 Smoking Smoke the cond

40、itioned cigarettes (8.1.1) in accordance with ISO 4387 on the routine analytical cigarette-smoking machine (6.2) in one or more smoking processes. Collect the mainstream smoke condensate in the appropriate trap for each smoking process. As soon as each cigarette has been smoked to the required butt

41、length, extinguish it. At the end of each smoking process remove the filter tips and the traps. Proceed to 8.1.2.2 and 8.1.2.3 without delay at any stage. 8.1.2.2 Determination of alkaloids retained in the cigarette filters (F nic ) Carefully remove any adhering tobacco from the filter tips and cut

42、them open. Open the still and place a maximum of three tips in the distillation chamber. Close the still and introduce about 10 ml of the methanol (5.1) into the chamber. NOTE 3A less desirable alternative to placing the tips directly into the distillation chamber is to use a methanolic extract, as

43、follows: Place 20 tips and 100 ml of methanol in a flask. Shake it for 30 min or allow it to stand overnight and shake by hand. Using a pipette, transfer 10 ml of extract to the distillation chamber. WARNING Take care during the distillation while sodium hydroxide is being added. Add 10 ml of the su

44、lfuric acid solution (5.3) and start the distillation. Collect about 100 ml of the distillate in a beaker. Without stopping the distillation, remove the beaker and discard the distillate. Insertthe delivery tube into a 250 ml volumetric flask (6.6) containing 10 ml of the sulfuric acid solution (5.3

45、). Ensure that the end of the tube isimmersed in the acid. Slowly and carefully add5ml of the sodium hydroxide solution (5.2) to the distillation chamber, closing the inlet funnel(6.3.4) as the last drops pass through. Collect220 ml to 230 ml of distillate. Remove the flask whilst rinsing the delive

46、ry tube with a little water. Terminate the distillation and clean the still, using forceps if necessary to remove the filter tips. Ensure that the flask is at room temperature, dilute the distillate to the mark with water and mix. Ifthesolution is not clear, filter through a filter paper (6.9), disc

47、arding the first 150 ml of filtrate. Use the solution to determine spectrometrically the alkaloids retained in the cigarette filters, in accordance with ISO 3400. 8.1.2.3 Determination of alkaloids in the mainstream smoke condensate (H nic ) Having removed the traps containing the mainstream smoke c

48、ondensate from the filter cigarettes smoked, proceed according to the following method: Dismantle the holder and remove any sealing ring with forceps. Remove the disc with forceps and fold twice. Place the folded disc in a conical flask of capacity 150 ml containing a suitable volume of methanol (5.

49、1). The volume shall be adjusted according to the number of traps and cigarettes smoked so that the alkaloids from two to three cigarettes are contained in the aliquot of methanolic solution taken for the distillation (ideally 20 ml). Wipe the inner surface of the holder front with two quarters of a blank filter disc held with forceps, and put these into the flask. Close the flask and shake onan electrical shaker for 20 min or let it stand for16 h ensuring that the disc does not disintegrate. Use, as the test portion, an aliquot of this s
