35、and sample preparation Sampling is not part of the method specified in this document. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the solution According to Table 1, Table 2 or Table 3, depen
36、ding on the variant chosen weigh to the nearest 0,001 g, a quantity of 5 g, 7 g or 10 g of the prepared sample and transfer into a beaker glass of 250 ml. Add about 50 ml of water and 20 ml hydrochloric acid (5.2). Cover the beaker, heat until boiling and cool down. Filter the content of the beaker
37、and collect the filtrate and the rinse water in a volumetric flask of 500 ml, dilute to the mark with water and mix homogeneously. 8.2 Analysis of the solution The quantity of nitric nitrogen present in the aliquot part of the solution shall not exceed the maximum quantity expressed in Table 1, Tabl
38、e 2 or Table 3. According to the variant chosen, place in the receiving flask an exactly measured quantity of standard sulfuric acid as indicated in Table 1. Add the appropriate quantity of the chosen indicator solution (5.11.1 or 5.11.2) and finally, sufficient water to give a volume of 50 ml. The
39、end of the extension tube of the condenser shall be underneath the surface of the solution. Fill the bubble trap with water. Using a precision pipette, take an aliquot part as indicated in Table 1. Place it in the distillation flask. Add sufficient water to the distillation flask to obtain a volume
40、of 250 ml to 300 ml, 5 ml ethanol (5.12) and 4 g Devardas alloy (5.9), (see NOTE). Taking the necessary precautions to avoid loss of ammonia, add to the flask about 30 ml of 30 % sodium hydroxide solution (5.10) and finally, in the case of acid soluble samples an additional quantity sufficient to ne
41、utralize the quantity of hydrochloric acid (5.2) present in the aliquot part taken for the analysis. Connect the distillation flask to the apparatus, ensuring the tightness of connections. Carefully shake the flask to mix the contents. Warm gently, so that the release of hydrogen decreases appreciab
42、ly over about half an hour and the liquid will boil. Continue the distillation, increasing the heat so that at least 200 ml liquid distils in about 30 min (do not prolong the distillation beyond 45 min). When the distillation is complete, disconnect the receiving flask from the apparatus; carefully
43、wash the extension tube and bubble trap, collecting the rinsing in the titration flask and titrate the surplus acid with the standard solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide prescribed for the variant adopted (see NOTE 2 in 8.4). DIN EN 15476:2009-04 EN 15476:2009 (E) 8 NOTE In the presence of cal
44、cium salts such as calcium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate, it is necessary to add before distillation for each gram of sample present in the aliquot, 0,700 g sodium phosphate (Na2HPO4. 2H2O) to prevent the formation of Ca(OH)2. 8.3 Blank test Carry out a blank test (omitting the sample) under
45、the same conditions and refer to this in the calculation of the final result. 8.4 Control test Before carrying out the analysis, check that the apparatus is working properly and that the correct application of the method is used, using an aliquot of a freshly prepared solution of sodium nitrate (5.1
46、3) containing, according to the variant chosen, 0,050 g to 0,150 g of nitrate nitrogen. NOTE 1 When the sample solution is acid (addition of 20 ml of HCl (5.2) to dissolve the sample) the aliquot part taken for analysis is neutralized in the following way: to the distillation flask containing the ta
47、ken aliquot part add about 250 ml of water, the necessary quantity of one of the indicators (5.11.1, 5.11.2) and shake carefully. Neutralize with 2 mol/l sodium hydroxide solution (5.9) and acidify again with a drop of hydrochloric acid (5.2). Then proceed as indicated in 8.2 (second line). NOTE 2 S
48、tandard solutions of different strengths may be used for the back titration provided that the volumes used for the titration do not, as far as possible, exceed 40 ml to 45 ml.
