6、termination of certain antioxidants used in polyolefin compounds by the reduction of ferric chloride and the subsequent colorimetric determination of the ferrous ions. 2 Principle This method depends upon the reducing action of the antioxidant. The antioxidant is extracted from the polymer compound
7、and reacted with ferric chloride solution. The concentration of the resulting ferrous ions is determined colorimetrically by the use of 2,2-bipyridyl. All the materials listed in Table 1 reduce ferric ions and may be determined by this method although the sensitivity to each antioxidant differs. Mix
8、tures of these antioxidants cannot be differentiated by this method, but the total antioxidant present should be estimated by comparing with a reference antioxidant (see note). NOTEThe antioxidants present in the sample may first be identified by the thin layer chromatographic procedure (see Method
9、434A). If more than one antioxidant listed inTable 1 is found, a choice has to be made of the antioxidant to be used for calibration. For samples containing unknown antioxidants, it is convenient to calibrate with 2,6-ditertbutyl-p-cresol, i.e. the reference compound used in the t.l.c. procedure. 3

11、, 2 g/l solution in ethanol. It is essential this solution is prepared and stored in an amber bottle. It is essential that this bottle is not exposed to daylight when not in use and it should be further masked by, e.g. a covering of black paper or paint. This reagent will keep for one week. 3.5 2,2-

13、 bath, or heating mantle. 4.4 Filtration apparatus 4.5 Volumetric flasks, one-mark, 100 ml capacity, Class B, complying with the requirements of BS1792 3) . 4.6 Water bath, capable of being maintained at25 0.5 C. 4.7 Spectrophotometer, or absorptiometer, suitable for measurements at a wavelength of
14、520 nm. 4.8 Pair of 10 mm glass cells 4.9 Stopwatch 5 Test portion 5.1 For concentrations of antioxidants below 0.02% use up to 5 g of compound. 5.2 For concentrations of antioxidants between0.02% and 0.20% use approximately 1 g of compound if the antioxidant is Nonox WSP or Santonox 4) . For other
15、antioxidants use approximately 2 g of compound. 1) BS 805 “Toluenes”. (In the 1963 edition of BS 805, grade 2 was designated 805/3.) 2) BS 3591 “Industrial methylated spirits”. 3) BS 1792 “One-mark volumetric flasks”. 4) Trade names and chemical names are listed in Table 1.BS2782-4:Method 434D:1975
16、2 BSI 12-1999 5.3 For concentrations of antioxidants exceeding0.20% use 25 ml of toluene for the extraction in place of the10ml specified in6.1 and make up the total volume of the extract to 250 ml. Use approximately 2 g of compound. 6 Procedure 6.1 Extraction. Place the requisite quantity of the po
17、lyolefin compound, in the form of small pieces or shavings of not more than 2 mm thickness, in a 50 ml round bottom flask. Add 10 ml of toluene, connect the flask to a reflux condenser and heat the contents on a boiling water bath for 1 h to 1.5 h, or for such shorter time as is sufficient for the p
18、olyolefin to dissolve. During this time gently swirl the contents of the flask occasionally. Where there is a possibility of incomplete extraction of the antioxidant from a polymer which is difficult to dissolve, the sample may be refluxed with mechanical stirring for 1 h, or for such shorter time a
19、s is sufficient for the polyolefin to dissolve. Apply a gentle flow of nitrogen to the flask and condenser during the extraction period. Wash down the condenser with 15 ml to 20 ml of IMS, remove the flask, stopper and shake vigorously to precipitate all dissolved polymer. When cool, filter through
20、a fast filter paper 5)intoa100 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Wash the polymer and filter with IMS until the volume of filtrate is 100 ml and shake to mix. 6.2 Colorimetry. By means of a pipette transfer10.0 ml of the extract solution into a test tube. Similarly transfer 10.0 ml of a 1 + 9 mixture of
21、 toluene and IMS to a second test tube. Place both tubes in an opaque container and add 0.5 ml of the bipyridyl reagent solution to each tube, followed by1.0 ml of ferric chloride solution, first to the blank and then to the sample (see note). Start the stopwatch, mix the solutions, stopper the tube
22、s, place a light-tight lid on the container and transfer to a constant temperature water bath at25 0.5 C. After 57 1 min remove the tubes from the bath and fill the 10 mm cells, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight as much as possible. Measure the absorbance of both sample and blank after60 1 min at
23、 a wavelength of 520 nm. 6.3 Calibration. Prepare calibration graphs by carrying out the colorimetric procedure in 6.2 on10ml portions of solutions of each antioxidant of known concentration. Correct each absorbance for the absorbance of the blank and plot a graph of corrected absorbance against mil
24、ligrams of antioxidant per10ml of toluene/IMS solution. The range covered varies, e.g. 0 to 0.10 mg for Nonox WSP and Santonox. 0 to0.35 mg for Topanol CA. NOTEScrupulous cleanliness should be observed in the use of pipettes for ferric chloride, and exposure to daylight should be kept to the minimum
25、. Blanks that turn pink are suspect and the test should be repeated with fresh ferric chloride solution 6.3 Calibration. Prepare calibration graphs by carrying out the colorimetric procedure described in6.2 on10 ml portions of solutions of each antioxidant of known concentration. Correct each absorb
26、ance for the absorbance of the blank and plot a graph of corrected absorbance against milligrams of antioxidant per 10 ml of toluene/IMS solution. The range covered varies, e.g. 0 to 0.10 mg for Nonox WSP and Santonox, 0 to 0.35 mg for Topanol CA. 7 Calculation Correct the absorbance measured for th
27、e sample for that of the blank and relate the corrected absorbance to milligrams of antioxidant per 10 ml of extract solution by reference to the appropriate calibration graph.
