32、same 2-g portion of zinc oxide; allow the zinc oxide to coolbefore adding the next 2-mL aliquot of gasoline (Note 56).8. Calibration8.1 Transfer by buret, or a volumetric transfer pipet, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 mL of phosphorus standard solutioninto 100-mL volumetric flasks.8.2 Pi
33、pet 10 mL of H2SO4(1 + 10) into each flask. Mix immediately by swirling.8.3 Prepare the molybdate-hydrazine reagent. Prepare sufficient volume of reagent based on the number of samples beinganalyzed.8.4 Pipet 50 mL of the molybdate-hydrazine reagent to each volumetric flask. Mix immediately by swirl
34、ing.8.5 Dilute to 100 mL with water.8.6 Mix well and place in the constant-temperature bath so that the contents of the flask are submerged below the level of thebath. Maintain bath temperature at 82.2 to 87.8C (180 to 190F) for 25 min (Note 1).8.7 Transfer the flask to the cooling bath and cool the
35、 contents rapidly to room temperature. Do not allow the samples to coolmore than 2.8C (5F) below room temperature.NOTE4Place 5Place a chemically clean thermometer in one of the flasks to check the temperature.8.8 After cooling the flasks to room temperature, remove them from the cooling water bath a
36、nd allow them to stand for 10 minat room temperature.8.9 Using the 2.0-mL phosphorus standard in a 5-cm cell, determine the wavelength near 820 nm that gives maximumabsorbance. The wavelength giving maximum absorbance should not exceed 830 nm.8.9.1 Using the red-sensitive phototube and 5-cm cells, a
37、djust the spectrophotometer to zero absorbance at the wavelength ofmaximum absorbance using distilled water. If using a dual-beam spectrophotometer, place distilled water in both cells. Use thewavelength of maximum absorbance in the determination of calibration readings and future sample readings.8.
38、9.2 The use of 1-cm cells for the higher concentrations is permissible.8.10 Measure the absorbance of each calibration sample including the blank (0.0 mL phosphorus standard) at the wavelengthof maximum absorbance with distilled water in the reference cell. Great care shall be taken to avoid possibl
39、e contamination. If theabsorbance of the blank exceeds 0.04 (for 5-cm cell), check for source of contamination. It is suggested that the results bedisregarded and the test be rerun with fresh reagents and clean glassware.8.11 Correct the absorbance of each standard solution by subtracting the absorb
40、ance of the blank (0.0 mL phosphorus standard).8.12 Prepare a calibration curve by plotting the corrected absorbance of each standard solution against micrograms ofphosphorus. One millilitre of phosphorus solution standard provides 10 g of phosphorus.9. Procedure9.1 Clean all glassware before use wi
41、th cleaning acid or by some procedure that does not involve use of commercial detergents.These compounds often contain alkali phosphates that are strongly adsorbed by glass surfaces and are not removed by ordinaryrinsing. It is desirable to segregate a special stock of glassware for use only in the
42、determination of phosphorus.9.2 Observe the usual precautions of cleanliness, careful manipulation, and avoidance of contamination in order to obtainsatisfactory accuracy with the small amounts of phosphorus involved.9.3 Transfer 2 6 0.2 g of zinc oxide into a conical pile in a clean, dry, unetched
43、ignition dish.9.4 Make a deep depression in the center of the zinc oxide pile with a stirring rod.9.5 Pipet the gasoline sample (Note 5Note 6) (see 7.2 for suggested sample volume) into the depression in the zinc oxide.(WarningIn addition to other precautions, cool the ignition dish before adding th
44、e additional aliquots of gasoline to avoid a flashfire.) Record the temperature of the fuel if the phosphorus content is required at 15.6C (60F) and make correction as directedin 10.2.NOTE5For 6For the 10-mL sample use multiple additions and a syringe. Hold the tip of the needle at approximately23 o
45、f the depth of the zincoxide layer and slowly deliver 2 mL of the sample; fast sample delivery may give low results. Give sufficient time for the gasoline to be absorbed bythe zinc oxide. Follow step 9.6. Cool the dish to room temperature. Repeat steps 9.5 and 9.8 until all the sample has been burne
46、d.9.6 Cover the sample with a small amount of fresh zinc oxide from the reagent bottle (use the tip of a small spatula to deliverapproximately 0.2 g). Tap the sides of the ignition dish to pack the zinc oxide.9.7 Prepare the blank, using the same amount of zinc oxide in an ignition dish.9.8 Ignite t
47、he gasoline, using the flame from a Bunsen burner. Allow the gasoline to burn to extinction (Note 5Note 6).9.9 Place the ignition dishes containing the sample and blank in a hot muffle furnace set at a temperature of 621 to 704C (1150to 1300F) for 10 min. Remove and cool the ignition dishes. When co
48、ol gently tap the sides of the dish to loosen the zinc oxide.Again place the dishes in the muffle furnace for 5 min. Remove and cool the ignition dishes to room temperature. The abovetreatment is usually sufficient to burn the carbon. If the carbon is not completely burned off, place the dish into t
49、he furnace forfurther 5-min periods.NOTE6Step 7Step 9.9 can also be accomplished by heating the ignition dish with a Meker burner, gradually increasing the intensity of heat untilD3231 113the carbon from the sides of the dish has been burned; cool to room temperature.9.10 Pipet 25 mL of H2SO4(1 + 10) into each ignition dish. While pipeting, carefully wash all traces of zinc oxide from thesides of the ignition dish.9.11 Cover the ignition dish with a borosilicate watch glass and warm the ignition dish on a hot plate unt
