6、nce and Use3.1 This test method is intended for use in the determinationof the unsaponifiable, nonvolatile matter contained in sulfatedoils for the purpose of quality assurance.4. Apparatus and Reagents4.1 Saponification FlaskThe apparatus required for thesaponification consists of a glass flask pro

8、L.5. Procedure5.1 The procedure consists of decomposing the sample withmineral acid, extracting the desulfated fatty matter, saponifyingthe latter, and extracting the unsaponifiable matter from thesoap solution with ethyl ether.5.1.1 Desulfated Fatty MatterDetermine the desulfatedfatty matter as des
9、cribed in the determination of total des-ulfated fatty matter. See Test Methods D 5350, D 5351, andD 5353.5.1.2 SaponificationAccurately weigh 2 to 2.5 g of thedesulfated fatty matter in the flask, add 25 mL of the alcoholicKOH solution, and simmer the contents (without loss ofalcohol) for 1 h with
10、occasional swirling, over an electric hotplate or other source of heat.5.1.3 ExtractionTransfer the content of the flask to a250-mL separatory funnel and wash the flask several timeswith a total of 50 mL of water, pouring it into the separatoryfunnel. Extract the solution while still warm (about 30C
11、) with50 mL of ether (rinse the saponification flask with the etherbefore adding it to the separatory funnel), shaking vigorouslyfor about 1 min, and allow the layers to settle and clear. Drawoff the lower layer in a second 250-mL separatory funnel andextract in a similar manner with two 50-mL porti
12、ons of ether.5.1.4 Preliminary Water WashingAdd 20 mL of water tothe combined ether layer, turn the separatory funnel andcontents over gently about six times, and allow the layers tosettle and clear. Draw off the lower layer and discard. Wash theether layer twice more with 20-mL portions of water, s

Draw off the lower layer and discard.Wash the ether layer with 2

Finally wash the etherlayer with 20-mL portions of water until the wash water is nolonger pink to phenolphthalein.5.1.6 Solvent RemovalTransfer the ether layer to a150-mL beaker (counter
18、balance the beaker if the amount ofunsaponifiable matter is small and important) and evaporateover a hot-water bath until practically free of ether. Heat thebeaker at 75 to 80C until constant weight is obtained.NOTE 1A 30 % alcoholic solution by volume is the most satisfactorysolution from which to
19、extract the unsaponifiable matter.NOTE 2If emulsions form, add 5 mL of alcohol, pouring it down theside of the funnel.NOTE 3It is important to maintain the volume of ether at not less than150 mL, otherwise small quantities of unsaponifiable matter may be lost.NOTE 4To check whether or not the unsapo
20、nifiable matter is freefrom fatty acids, dissolve the residue in 10 mL of freshly boiled neutralalcohol and titrate with 0.1 N alcoholic KOH solution, using phenolphtha-lein as the indicator. Not more than 0.1 mL should be required forneutralization. If more is required, the determination has not be
21、en carriedout effectively and must be repeated.6. Calculation6.1 Calculate the unsaponifiable matter as follows:U 5 R/G! 3 P (1)where:U = unsaponifiable nonvolatile matter, %,R = weight of residue, g,G = weight of desulfated fatty matter, g, andP = desulfated fatty matter, %.7. Precision and Bias7.1
22、 This test method is adopted from the procedures of theAmerican Leather ChemistsAssociation where it has long beenin use and was approved for publication before the inclusion ofprecision and bias statements was mandated. The originalinterlaboratory test data are no longer available. The user iscauti
23、oned to verify by the use of reference materials, ifavailable, that the precision and bias (or reproducibility) of thistest method is adequate for the contemplated use.8.
