Scope1.1 This test method covers the analysis for the apparentsodium toluene sulfonate (NaTS) content of detergents.1.2 Th
3、is standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. Material SafetyData
4、sheets are available for reagents and materials. Reviewthem for hazards prior to usage.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 1193 Specification for Reagent Water23. Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method is based on the separation of the lowmolecular weight sulfonate from interfering highe
5、r molecularweight sulfonates and determination by ultraviolet absorption.The higher molecular weight sulfonates are extracted assulfonic acids in a hydrochloric acid solution using ethyl etheras the solvent.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is of use to anyone engaged incompositional analy
6、sis of detergent formulations. This wouldinclude formulators, and analysts employed by companies thatmanufacture the components usually included in such formu-lations.5. Interferences5.1 Any low molecular weight substituted benzene sul-fonate or benzene sulfonate (NaBS) itself will interfere andgive
7、 an apparent toluene sulfonate figure. Since the method isstandardized using p-toluene sulfonate, o-sulfonate will not beassayed correctly. When contamination is suspected, it shouldbe checked by running a complete absorption curve andcomparing with known samples.6. ApparatusNOTE 1Absolute cleanline
8、ss of apparatus is essential. Use glassapparatus only. Contact with rubber, cork, or hands will introduceabsorbance errors.6.1 Separatory Funnels, 500-mL capacity, glass-stoppered,pear-shaped.6.2 Balance, analytical.6.3 Spectrophotometer (Note 2), with necessary ultravioletaccessories for working in

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such
11、 specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean r

Precaution8.1 This test method includes ethyl ether extraction from anacidic solution. Appropriate safety practices, such as thoseincluded in the Material Safety Data Shee
17、ts for ethyl ether,should be employed. Especially important is adequate eyeprotection to guard against spattering.9. Preparation of Standards9.1 Weigh 0.25 6 0.0001 g of the standard NaTS, dissolvein water, and dilute to the mark in a 100-mL volumetric flask.Mix thoroughly. From this solution make p
18、ipettings as follows:9.1.1 For the Cary spectrophotometer and 5-cm cells (Note2), take 50 mL (b = cell length).9.1.2 For the Beckman DU spectrophotometer and 5-cmcells (Note 2), take 10 mL (b = cell length).NOTE 3If 1.0-cm cells are used, the concentration must be increasedaccordingly.9.2 Place the
19、indicated volume of solution in 250-mLvolumetric flask. Add to the flask 10.0 g of Na2SO4and 60 mLof HCl. Dilute to the mark with water and mix thoroughly.From the 250-mL volumetric flask, pipet 25 mL into a 100-mLvolumetric flask, dilute to volume with water and mix thor-oughly. The concentration,
20、c, in this final dilution will be 0.125g/L for Cary and 0.025 g/L for Beckman instruments.9.3 Prepare a blank solution with water, Na2SO4, and HCl,but without NaTS, exactly as described for standards.9.4 Measure the absorbance of the dilute standard solutionagainst the blank over the range 230 to 30
21、0 nm. Determine themaximum absorption near 261 nm and the absorption atwavelengths 19 nm above and below the maximum. If anon-recording instrument is used, determine the peak absor-bance and read the reference points 19 nm above and below.Correct the absorbance near 261 nm by subtracting one half th
22、esum of the absorbances at 19 nm below and 19 nm above thepeak wavelength.9.5 Calculate the absorptivity, a, of the standard solution asfollows:a 5 corrected absorbance near 261 nm/bc (1)10. Procedure10.1 Weigh 10.00 6 0.01 g of the sample of syntheticdetergent to be analyzed and dissolve in about 7
23、5 mL of hotwater. Transfer to a 500-mL glass-stoppered, pear-shaped,separatory funnel; add 10.0 g of Na2SO4and 40 mL of HCl.Swirl to dissolve and cool to room temperature.10.2 Extract twice with 100-mL portions of ethyl ether,shaking vigorously during each extraction. Caution: see 8.1.Combine the et
24、her extracts and wash them with three 25-mLportions of 1 + 3 HCl to ensure complete removal of sodiumions. Add these extracts to the extracted acid aqueous solutionand extract once more with 100 mL of ether. Allow to settle for15 to 30 min, or until clear, and draw off the acid water layerinto a bea
25、ker and evaporate the ether, on a steam bath. Filterthis solution if not clear, preferably through a glass fiber filter.10.3 Discard all ether extracts. Transfer the acid watersolution, free of ether, to a 250-mL glass-stoppered, volumetricflask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix thoroughly. Thi
26、ssolution contains all of the NaTS or NaBS free of syntheticdetergent sulfonates.10.4 For the Cary spectrophotometer, pipet 10 mL of thissolution into a 100-mL glass-stoppered volumetric flask anddilute to volume with water. Mix thoroughly and makeabsorbance measurements against a blank diluted in a
27、 similarmanner which contains water, HCl, and Na2SO4only. Absor-bance measurements should be made in a 5-cm cell (Note 3)exactly as described in Section 5 (c = 4.00 g/L).10.5 For the Beckman DU spectrophotometer, pipet 25 mLfrom the 250-mL volumetric flask into another 250-mL volu-metric flask. Dilu
28、te to the mark with water, mix, and pipet 25mL of this solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask. Dilute,mix, and make absorbance readings against a blank similarlyprepared with reagents as described in Section 5 (c = 1.00 g/L).11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the absorptivity of the sample in the samema
29、nner as that used for the standard (9.5).11.2 Calculate the weight percentage of sodium toluenesulfonate as follows:Sodium toluene sulfonate, weight % 5 a1/a2! 3 100 (2)where:a1= absorptivity of the sample, anda2= absorptivity of the standard.12. Precision12.1 The precision of this method is as foll
30、ows:Within-laboratory, % 0.085Between-laboratory, % 0.200These values were determined at the 0 to 3 % level.13.
