Significance and Use4.1 This test method determines cement content in mixturesof cement with soil or aggregate by chemical analysis. It
9、 wasdeveloped primarily for testing samples for which a significantdegree of cement hydration or hardening has taken place. TestMethods D2901 or D5982 may be used for determining cementcontent of freshly mixed soil-cement mixtures.4.2 This test method is based on determination by chemicalanalysis of
10、 the calcium oxide (CaO) content of the sample. Themethod may not be applicable to soil-cement materials con-taining soils or aggregates which yield significant amounts ofdissolved calcium oxide (CaO) under the conditions of the test.NOTE 1The agency performing this test method can be evaluated inac
11、cordance with Practice D3740. Not withstanding statements on preci-sion and bias contained in this test method: the precision of this testmethod is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it andthe suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Pr

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 specificati
19、ons 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.6.2 Potassium Permanganate, Standard Solution (0.1 N)Prepare a 0.1 N KMnO4solution and standardize againstp
20、rimary standard grade oxalic acid, sodium oxalate or iron (II)ammonium sulfate hexahydrate.NOTE 2The use of a standard 0.1 N KMnO4solution is not necessarywhen the samples are titrated in accordance with 8.9 and the results arecalculated in accordance with 9.2. However, the actual reagent concen-tra
21、tion must be determined by titration against primary standard gradeoxalic acid, sodium oxalate or iron (II) ammonium sulfate hexahydrate.6.3 Ammonium Nitrate SolutionDissolve 20 g of NH4NO3in 1L of distilled water.6.4 Hydrochloric Acid (1 + 3)Add 200 mL of HCl (sp gr1.19) to 600 mL of distilled wate

(WarningIn addition to other precautions, thisis done by adding the acid, slowly while stirring, to the waterto avoid a sudd

Samples7.1 Samples of the following shall be selected for the test:7.1.1 Raw Soil, represen
24、tative of the soil phase of thesoil-cement mixture.7.1.2 Cement, representative of the cement phase of thesoil-cement mixture, and7.1.3 Soil-cement Mixture to be analyzed.7.2 The gross laboratory sample of each component shall beapproximately 200 g. This may be obtained by reducing thesample in bulk
25、 and, if necessary, in particle size through the useof drying, riffling and grinding processes.8. Procedure8.1 Dry 25 g of each of the samples in an oven to constantmass at 110 6 5C (230 6 9F) to remove free water. Reducethe samples to pass a No. 40- (425 m-) sieve.8.2 Using an analytical balance, p
26、repare the followingamounts for each of the samples: raw soil, 5 g; soil-cementmixture, 5 g; and cement, 1 g. Place each of the weighedsamples in a 250-mL beaker. Add 50 mL of HCl (1 + 1) (Note3) to each sample, cover, and boil gently for 5 min on the hotplate.NOTE 3In the case of the cement sample,
27、 it is usually preferable firstto add 25 mLof water and then stir to obtain a thorough mixture. Then add25 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.19) and boil gently just long enough to obtaindecomposition of the cement. Vigorous or extended boiling of soil orcement samples is seldom necessary, and often results in muc
28、h slowerfiltration.8.3 Add 25 mL of hot water to the beakers, stir, allow tosettle momentarily, and then decant the contents through aWhatman No. 1 filter paper (Note 4), preferably 15 cm indiameter. The filtrate should be received in a 250-mL volumet-ric flask. When the liquid has passed through th
29、e filter paper,wash the residue once by decantation, using hot water; thentransfer it to the filter, using a stream of hot water. The beakershould be rapidly policed, the loosened material being trans-ferred to the filter paper. The material on the filter should thenbe washed an additional four time
30、s, each washing consisting of10 to 15 mL of hot water directed in a stream from the washbottle. Very small amounts of residue will occasionally passthrough the filter. These ordinarily may be disregarded.NOTE 4In the case of the soil and soil-cement samples, the bulk of theresidue sometimes slows fi
31、ltration appreciably. No difficulty is usuallyencountered from cement samples, and, as a rule, soil samples may befiltered and washed in less than 30 min. Some soil-cement mixturesrequire more time, but, if this period exceeds 1 h, subsequent filtration insimilar cases may be more rapid if a No. 41
32、paper is substituted for the No.1 paper. Slow filtration in such cases is generally caused by excessiveboiling, resulting in gelation of the silica, which materially retardsfiltration.8.4 When washing has been completed, discard the filter,and dilute the filtrate in the volumetric flask to 250 mL wi
33、thcold water. The temperature of the solution should be near thecalibration point of the flask. Agitate the flask to mix thecontents thoroughly, then remove a 50-mL aliquot and transferto the original 250-mL beaker (8.2), using a 50-mL pipet.Dilute to 100 mL. Make the solution slightly ammoniacal(No
34、te 5) by dropwise addition of ammonium hydroxide, boil 1to 2 min, and allow the hydroxides to settle.NOTE 5If the samples contain ferrous iron it is desirable to add a fewdrops of HNO3before precipitation of the hydroxides. Also, pH paper canbe used to assure that enough ammonium hydroxide has been
35、added.8.5 Filter the hydroxides through an 11-cm Whatman No. 1(or No. 41) filter paper, receiving the filtrate in the 600-mL3“Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications,” AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

Wash the original 250-mL beaker into the filter oncewith a stream of hot NH4NO3solution (20 g/L), and follow bywashing the hydroxide pr
37、ecipitate once or twice with hotNH4NO3solution (20 g/L). Set the filtrate aside, and place theoriginal beaker under the funnel. Perforate the paper with a rod(Note 6), and wash the hydroxides down into the originalbeaker, using a stream of hot NH4NO3solution (20 g/L) toremove most of the precipitate
38、 from the filter paper. Treat thepaper with 20 mLof hot HCl (1 + 3), directing the acid over thepaper with a glass rod. Wash the paper several times with hotwater, and then discard the paper. Dilute the solution to 75 mL.NOTE 6Instead of perforating the filter paper, the paper and precipi-tate may b
39、e transferred to the original beaker, the hydroxides dissolvedwith 20 mL of hot HCl (1 + 3) and diluted to 75 mL with water, and theprocedure continued as described in 8.6. In this case, the reprecipitatedhydroxides and pulp are subsequently removed simultaneously.8.6 Make the solution slightly ammo
40、niacal and boil 1 to 2min. Allow the precipitate to settle, then decant through aWhatman No. 1 paper as before, receiving the filtrate in the600-mL beaker previously set aside (8.5). Wash and police thebeaker in which precipitation took place, finally washing theprecipitate on the filter three or fo
41、ur times with NH4NO3solution (20 g/L). Discard the hydroxide precipitate. Add 2 mLof NH4OH (sp gr 0.90) to the filtrate, which will now have avolume of 250 to 350 mL. Heat the solution to boiling and add10 mL of hot saturated ammonium oxalate solution. Keep themixture near boiling until precipitate
42、becomes granular; thenset aside on a warm hot plate for 30 min or more. Beforefiltering off the calcium oxalate, verify completeness of pre-cipitation, (Note 7) and make sure that a slight excess ofNH4OH is present. Filter the mixture through an 11-cm or15-cm Whatman No. 2 filter paper, or if prefer
43、red a WhatmanNo. 42 paper, making sure that all the precipitate is beingretained. Thoroughly clean with a rubber policeman the beakerin which precipitation took place, and transfer the contents tothe filter with a stream of hot water. Wash the filter eight to tentimes with hot water (not over 75 mL)
44、 (Note 8), using a streamfrom the wash bottle.NOTE 7The calcium oxalate precipitation is sometimes not completeand this results in low CaO values. The precipitation operation must becarried out with thoroughness and care.NOTE 8The filter may be washed four times each with NH4OH(2 + 98) and hot water
45、, in the order stated.8.7 Carefully open the filter paper and wash the precipitateinto the beaker in which the precipitation was effected. Diluteto 200 mL and add 10 mL of H2SO4(1 + 1). Heat the solutionjust short of boiling, and titrate it with the standard KMnO4solution (Note 9) to a persistent pi
46、nk color. Add the filter paperand macerate it. Continue the titration slowly until the pinkcolor persists for 10 s.NOTE 9The temperature of the standard KMnO4solution should notvary from its standardization temperature so much as to cause a seriouserror in the determination of CaO. At ordinary room
47、temperatures thevolume of pure water changes to the extent of 0.01 to 0.04 % for eachdegree Celsius, depending on the temperature.8.8 BlankMake a blank determination, following thesame procedure and using the same amounts of all reagents.8.9 Alternative Titration ProcedureTitrate as described in8.7,
48、 except that the KMnO4solution need not be a standard 0.1N solution, but the same solution shall be used in titrating allthe components. Omit the blank determination described in8.8.9.
