For this purpose, it is necessary to separate the water from the sludge. 2 Scope The method described in this standard serves to dissolve the greater part of phosphorus compounds present in the dry mass. Their total concentrat

For analysis these are decomposed by oxidation. The phosphorus compounds are then available in soluble form as phosphate, which allo

21、 method DIN 38414-S 2 in the analytical mill to a particle size of 0,l mm. Check on a fraction of the sample taken from the ground material that at least 95 % passes through the sieve;discard this sample. Use a further sample of the ground material for decom. position. For this purpose, dry about 3

22、g of the ground material for 30 minutes in the oven at 105 OC and then weigh it to the nearest 0,Ol g after having cooled it in the desiccator. Moisten this sample with about 2 ml of water in the reaction vessel in a similar manner to that described in DIN 38414 Part 7 and then add one after the oth

23、er, 21 ml of hydrochloric acid (as specified in subclause 7.1) and 7 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.2). In the case of strongly foaming substances, the acids should be added carefully by drops. Place 10 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.3) in the absorption vessel (see f

24、igure 1) and then connect the vessel to the reflux condenser and the reaction vessel. Allow the vessels to stand with their contents at ambient temperature for at least two hours. Heat the reaction mixture and keep it boiling for about two hours, taking care that the condensation zone does not exten

25、d above the lower third of the reflux condenser. After cooling, transfer the contents of the absorption vessel through the condenser tube to the reaction vessel; rinse the absorption vessel with about 15 ml, and the condenser tube with about 10 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.31, tran

Filter the contents of the reaction vessel quantitatively into a 100 ml volumetric flask using an acid-resistant paper or glass fibre filter that has been prewached with nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.3). Wash the reaction vessel and the filter c

27、ontaining the filtration residue twice, using 10 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.3) in each case. Combine the wash liquids with the filtrate and top up the volumetric flask with water (decomposition solu- tion I). Decomposition solutions that are difficult to filter should be separate

28、d from the insoluble matter by sedimentation or centrifugation. Pipette 10 ml (equivalent to 0,30 g of the initial sample mass) of the decomposition solution thus obtained into a 250 ml Kjeldahl flask. Add 2 ml of sulfuric acid (as specified in subclause 7.4) whilst shaking the liquid. After adding

29、the boiling aid, heat the mixture until white vapour is produced. After cooling, carefully add dropwise 0.5 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause 7.2) and heat the solution until no further brown vapour is released. After cooling, add a further 0,5 ml of nitric acid (as specified in subclause

30、 7.2); heat the solution again. Repeat the process several times to produce a clear and as far as possible colourless solution. Pour this solution into a 500 ml volumetric flask, rinse the Kjeldahl flask with a little water and add the wash liquid to the solution. Top up with water to the mark (deco

31、mposition solu- tion II), shake thoroughly, take up to 40 ml of the solu- tion (see table 1). pour it into a 50 ml volumetric flask and adjust the pH value to a value between 3 and 10 by adding sodium hydroxide solution (as specified in sub- clause 7.5). Note. Where a series of measurements is made,

32、 the adjustment of the pH value shall, if necessary, be carried out separately using a conical flask. Then, if necessary, top up with water to about 40 ml and, whilst shaking the solution, add 1 ml of ascorbic acid solution (as specified in subclause 7.6) and after about 30 seconds, 2 ml of molybdat

33、e reagent solution (as specified in subclause 7.7). Top up the solution with water to the mark and mix thoroughly. After 10 to 30 minutes determine the absorbance at a wavelength of 680 nm or 880 nm as described in DIN 38 405 Part 11. At the same time as the sample is analysed, carry out a blank tes

Equivalent methods of determination may be used; this, however, shall be stated in conjunction with the ex- pression of results.

In the case of higher phosphate concentrations, aliquot parts of decomposition solution II shall be diluted to 500 ml, e.g. as shown in table 2. 9 Evaluation When an aliquot part of decomposition solution II is taken, the percentage by mass of
