20、romatographic determination of the total amount of iron chelated by EDDHSA in commercial products. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the lates

21、t edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1482-2, Fertilizers and liming materials Sampling and sample preparation Part 2: Sample preparation EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Principle The iron ch

22、elates are determined by ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography. When an iron chelate (anion) is added to a polar fluid (eluent), containing a large cation (ion-pair reagent), an ion pair is formed. This ion pair is retained by an apolar solid phase (stationary phase). The strength of the r

23、etention depends on the molecular size and its acidity. Each iron chelate presents a characteristic retention time and a characteristic spectrum depending on the chelating agent, and it is separated from the other substances present in the sample. The separation is carried out on a reverse phase sil

24、ica column and an aqueous solution of TBA+(tetrabutylammonium) and acetonitrile as eluent. The detection is based on photometry at 480 nm. For Fe3+/EDDHSA a gradient method is required. 4 Interferences No interferences have been detected. Iron chelates with o,o-EDDHA, o,p-EDDHA, o,o-EDDHMA, EDTA, DT

25、PA, CDTA, HEDTA, as well as the chelating agents do not interfere since they are separated from Fe3+/EDDHSA. 5 Reagents 5.1 General a) All reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade. b) All water used for the preparation of eluent, standards, and sample solutions should be water grade1 accordi

26、ng to EN ISO 3696:1995. c) When reagents with a declared purity of less than 99 % are used for the preparation of standard solutions, a correction should be made in order to obtain the required concentration in the solution. 5.2 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,5 mol/l Dissolve 20 g of NaOH in

27、 pellet form in a 1 litre-volumetric flask with water free of carbon dioxide. Dilute to the mark and homogenize. 5.3 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,1 mol/l Dissolve 4 g of NaOH in pellet form in a 1 litre volumetric flask with water free of carbon dioxide. Dilute to the mark and homogenize.

Check (for example by AAS) that the Fe concentration of this solution is (1 050 30) mg/l. As the Fe(NO3)3

30、9H2O is deliquescent, for preparation of the Fe3+/EDDHSA solution (5.7) it shall be added in solution of a known concentration. 5.7 Fe3+/EDDHSA solution, (Fe) = 100 mg/l Dissolve 0,233 0 g100/P, where P is the complexometric purity of the standard in percentage of the acid form H6EDDHSA obtained by

31、either manual or automatic photometric titration with a Fe(III)standard at constant pH = 6 (pH stat system), of ethylene diamine di(2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenyl) acetic acid and its condensation products (EDDHSA) in 150 ml of water and 2,7 ml of NaOH (5.2). After complete dissolution, add 25 ml of the Fe

32、 solution (5.6) to the chelating agent solution stirring about 5 min. The solution is adjusted to pH 7,0 with NaOH solution (5.3). Let the solution stand overnight in darkness to allow excess Fe to precipitate as oxide. Filter quantitatively through a cellulose filter and make up to volume (250 ml)

Adjust pH to 6,0 with HCl (5.4 and 5.5). Add 350 ml of acetonitrile (HPLC

Filter through 0,2 m membrane filter (6.4 b). b) Solution B: Add 3,33 ml of TBAOH 40 % (mass fraction) Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution in water to 150 ml of water. Adjust pH to 6,0 with HCl (5.4 and 5.5). Add 750 ml of acet

35、onitrile (HPLC grade) and make up to volume in a 1 litre-volumetric flask with water. Filter through 0,2 m-membrane filter (6.4 b). NOTE 1 TBACl or TBABr may be used, providing that pH is adjusted to 6,0 with NaOH or HCl. NOTE 2 Tetrabutylammonium bisulfate should be avoided because peak retention t

A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1 1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. NOTE For the size reduction of

40、samples with a high amount of chelating agents, it is not recommended to use a high speed laboratory mill. It is more convenient to grind the sample in a mortar to a particle size less than 1 mm. 1) SYMMETRYTMC18, from WATERS cat.n: WAT054205, or equivalent are examples of suitable products availabl

Inject the standard solutions (8.2.) into the chromatographic system (6.3). M

45、easure the retention times and the areas of the Fe3+/EDDHSA chromatographic peaks for all solutions. Two chromatographic peaks appear for Fe3+/EDDHSA, corresponding with the different forms of Fe3+/EDDHSA (see Annex A). Draw the calibration graph with the added values of the two chromatographic peak

46、s of the standard solutions of Fe3+/EDDHSA versus the chelated iron concentration (mg Fe/l) in the standards. Inject the sample solution (8.1). Identify the chelating agent by the retention time of the obtained peaks (see Annex A) and if diode array detector is used, confirm with its UV-visible spec

47、trum (see Annex B). Measure the areas of the peaks for the sample solution corresponding with the iron chelated by EDDHSA as chelating agent. Determine the concentration of the iron chelated (mg Fe/l) using the calibration graph. NOTE Normally the two chromatographic peaks in Fe3+/EDDHSA appear over
