2、FIDE IN GREASES Application This procedure is used to determine the molybdenum disulfide content of greases. The method is also applicable to MoS 2 - polyethylene filled greases since this plastic dissolves in chlorinated solvents. Apparatus Required Laboratory Balance Oven Muffle Furnace Hood and H

4、phere of 23 +/ - 2 C and 50 +/ - 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same c onditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure 1. Weigh out approximately 5 g of grease into a tared 250 mL beaker. 2. Add 100 mL of trichlorobenzene and bring to a slow boil o

5、n a hot plate under a hood. Maintain slow boiling until grease (exclusive o f MoS 2 or other fillers) has completely dissolved. 3. Filter sample through a tared Seitz filter, Size F, Type K5 (or other suitable filter medium), maintaining the filter apparatus at approximately 180 F or higher by means

6、 of a water jacketed heater, or equivalent, around the filter. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD AJ 005-01 Page 2 of 2 Copyright 2000, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. 4. Wash flask and filter several times with hot trichlorobenzene, followed by several washes with benzol. Remove filter pad with MoS 2 and,

7、if no other filler is present, dry in an oven at 220 F for 30 minutes. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Gain in Weigh x 100 = % MoS 2 Wt. of Sample If fillers other an MoS 2 are present: 5. (a) Remove filter pad from crucible, place in a porcelain crucible and heat in a muffle furnace at 950 - 975 F

8、for 2 h. This converts the blac k MoS 2 to brownish - yellow MoO 3 . 6. (a) Treat the contents of the crucible with 5 N NaOH solution to dissolve the MoO 3 and filter through Whatman No. 41H paper into a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Wash filter paper with hot NaOH and hot water. 7. (a) Dilute to 100 mL

9、with distilled water, heat to boiling and treat with H 2 S for 10 minutes. 8. (a) Add dilute H 2 SO 4 (1 - 1) until acid and then 4 mL in excess per 100 mL of solution. 9. (a) Gas with H 2 S for 5 minutes and digest on a water bath until the precipitat e settles. 10. (a) Filter through a tared Gooch

10、 crucible (prepared with fine asbestos and heated to 975 F for 1 h). 11. (a) Wash the precipitate on the filter several times with dilute H 2 SO 4 (1 - 99) and finally with alcohol until free from acid. 12. (a) Place the Gooch crucible in a larger nickel crucible with a porcelain lid. Dry at 210 F a

11、nd heat gently in a muffle furnace at 800 F until the odor of SO 2 can no longer be detected. 13. (a) Remove the cover, heat to 950 - 975 F until constant wei ght is obtained. 14. (a) Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Weight of MoO 3 x 111.1 = % MoS 2 Weight of Sample Chemicals, materials, parts, and equipment referenced in this document must be used and handled properly.
