6、termination of Total DesulfatedFatty Matter3. Significance 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 requi
7、red for thesaponification consists of a glass flask provided with an aircondenser.4.2 Ethyl Ether.4.3 Potassium Hydroxide, Alcoholic Solution (28 g/L)Dissolve approximately, but not less than, 28 g of KOH in ethylalcohol and dilute to 1 L.4.4 Potassium Hydroxide Aqueous Solution (28 g/L)Dissolve 28
8、g of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in water anddilute to 1 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
9、Fatty MatterDetermine the desulfatedfatty matter as described in the determination of total desul-fated fatty matter. See Test Methods D5350, D5351, andD5353.5.1.2 SaponificationAccurately weigh 2 to 2.5 g of thedesulfated fatty matter in the flask, add 25 mL of the alcoholicKOH solution, and simmer
10、 the contents (without loss ofalcohol) for 1 h with 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 separatoryfunn
11、el. Extract the solution while still warm (about 30C) 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
12、 andextract in a similar manner with two 50-mL portions 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 theet
13、her layer twice more with 20-mL portions of water, shakingvigorously after each addition.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on Leatherand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D31.08 on Fats and OilsThis testmethod was developed in cooperation with the American

16、20 mL of aqueousKOH solution to the washed ether layer, turn the separatoryfunnel and contents over gently about six times, and allow thelayers to settle and clear. Draw off the lower layer and discard.Wash the ether layer with 20 mL of water, shaking vigorously.Continue washing with 20 mL of KOH so
17、lution followed by 20mL of water, shaking vigorously after each addition, until thealkali layer upon strong acidification with HCl and settling fora few minutes is only faintly opalescent. Finally wash the etherlayer with 20-mL portions of water until the wash water is nolonger pink to phenolphthale
18、in.5.1.6 Solvent RemovalTransfer the ether layer to a150-mL beaker (counterbalance 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 % a
19、lcoholic solution by volume is the most satisfactorysolution from which to 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
20、 unsaponifiable matter may be lost.NOTE 4To check whether or not the unsaponifiable 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 re
21、quired forneutralization. If more is required, the determination has not been 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
22、fatty matter, g, andP = desulfated fatty matter, %.7. Precision and Bias7.1 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
23、originalinterlaboratory test data are no longer available. The user iscautioned 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.
