6、r Class A Pipets33. Summary of Test Method3.1 The ground alumina based reforming catalyst is dis-solved using dilute hydrochloric acid. Stannous chloride isadded to convert the platinum in solution to a yellowish-orange-colored platinum stannous hydrochloride complex. Theabsorbance of the resulting
7、solution is measured comparativelyat 403 nm by spectrophotometry and the platinum content iscalculated from a previously determined value for the absorp-tivity.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means of determining theplatinum content of fresh reforming catalysts where the plati
8、-num is supported on an all alumina substrate.44.2 This test method is not intended to cover samplescontaining metals other than platinum.

Add sufficient aluminum chloride solution,(approximately 15 mL), to bring the standard to the samestoi

Dilute to 1000 mLwith water and mix thoroughly. Filter this solution if it iscloudy. This sol
27、ution should be prepared fresh daily.6.14 Water, distilled, reagent.57. Procedure7.1 CalcinationThe platinum level in reforming catalystsis normally reported on a volatile-free basis. The loss onignition (LOI) determination (1000C) is carried out sepa-rately, but weighed out at the same time as the
28、ground samplefor digestion. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the sample,weigh by difference from a weighing vial. Weigh in triplicate 3g 6 0.1-mg samples of reforming catalyst in platinum orporcelain crucibles, place in a muffle furnace at 1000 6 25C,and keep at this temperature for 3 h. Remove the
29、crucible fromthe muffle and transfer to a desiccator, cool, and weigh 1 h afterremoval from the muffle. The desiccant to be loaded in thedesiccator is freshly regenerated Type 4A molecular sieves.7.2 DigestionWeigh a ground portion of catalyst into a600-mL beaker to contain 6 to 8 mg platinum (for e
30、xample, a0.5 weight % platinum catalyst requires 1.2 to 1.6 g 6 0.1 mg).After weighing, perform a digestion in a 600-mL beakercontaining 150 mL of 6 N hydrochloric acid at 90C. Add 1 to2mLofH2O2or pass chlorine through the solution for 20 minto accelerate the reaction. Cover with a watch glass. Afte
31、rseveral hours heating at 85C, only a trace of residue (Al2O3)remains. Dilute this solution and filter into a 500-mL flask, andwash the paper with hot water. Ignite the filter paper andredigest the residue in a few millilitres of aqua regia, evaporateto dryness, redissolve in 6 N HCl, evaporate to d
32、ryness,redissolve in 6 N HCl, and filter into the main solution. Thissolution is now ready to complex with SnCl22H2O.NOTE 1Filtration is necessary, since the very minute trace of aluminathat remains insoluble approaches the colloidal state and interferes in thespectrophotometric measurement. The ins
33、oluble material settles on stand-ing 20 h, but any disturbance of the solution redistributes it. In anephelometric test the filtered solution, after complexing withSnCl22H2O, should show a clarity similar to that of the standard solution.7.3 Color Development of Platinum SolutionComplex thetest samp
