A recommended sampling method is

40、given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 8 Procedure SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When using any ammoniacal silver solution safety goggles shall be worn. As soon as a thin membrane forms on the surface of the liquid, an explosion can be produced by agitation an

41、d the greatest caution is essential. 8.1 Preparation of the solution for analysis Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, about 2,5 g of the prepared sample and place it in a small glass mortar. Grind the sample three times with water, pouring off the water after each grinding into a 500 ml graduated flask (

42、6.2). Transfer quantitatively the sample into the 500 ml graduated flask, washing the mortar, pestle and funnel with water. Make up with water to approximately 400 ml. Add 15 ml of acetic acid (5.2). Shake on the rotary shaker (6.5) for 2 h. Make up to 500 ml with water, mix and filter. The analysis

43、 shall be carried out as quickly as possible. 8.2 Analysis of the solution Transfer 50 ml of the filtrate into a 250 ml beaker. Add ammonia solution (5.3) until slightly alkaline and add 30 ml of warm ammoniacal silver nitrate (5.4) in order to precipitate the yellow silver complex of the cyanamide.

44、 Leave overnight, filter and wash the precipitate with cold water until it is completely free of ammonia. Place the filter and the precipitate, still moist, in a Kjeldahl flask, add 10 g to 15 g of potassium sulfate (5.6), the catalyst (5.7), in the prescribed proportion, then 50 ml of water and 25

45、ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (5.5). Warm the flask slowly, while shaking it gently until the contents come to the boil. Increase the heat, boil until the contents of the flask become colourless or pale green. Continue boiling for 1 h, then leave to cool. Place in the receiving flask 50 ml of sta

46、ndard sulfuric acid. Add the appropriate quantity of the chosen indicator solution (5.11.1 or 5.11.2) and, if necessary, water in order to obtain a volume of at least 50 ml. The end of the extension tube of the condenser shall be below the surface of the solution. DIN EN 15562:2009-06 EN 15562:2009

47、(E) 11 Transfer by precision pipette, according to the details given in Table 1, an aliquot portionof the clear solution, into the distillation flask of the apparatus. Add water in order to obtain a total volume of about 350 ml and several grains of pumice in order to control the boiling. Assemble t

48、he distillation apparatus and, taking care to avoid any loss of ammonia, add to the contents of the distillation flask 10 ml of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (5.8) (add sufficient NaOH solution (5.8) to ensure the presence of a considerable excess). Gradually warm the flask, to avoid boilin

49、g vigorously. When boiling commences, distil at the rate of about 100 ml in 10 min to 15 min; the total volume of distillate should be about 250 ml. The condenser shall be regulated so that a continuous flow of condensate is ensured. The distillation should be completed in 30 min to 40 min. When no more ammonia is likely to be evolved, lower the receiving flask so that the tip of the condenser extension is above the surface of the liquid. Test the subsequent distillate by means of an appropriate reagent to ensure that all the ammonia is comple
