11、 makes reference to the following BritishStandards: BS410, Test sieves. BS1400, Copper alloy ingots and castings. BS3338-1, Sampling of ingot tin. This method for the determination of antimony in ingot tin is the third of a series of methods which will form a complete BritishStandard under the colle
12、ctive title “Methods for the sampling and analysis of tin and tin alloys”, each method being published as a separate part. The preparation of this series of methods has been authorized by the Non-ferrous Metals Industry Standards Committee as part of a general programme for the standardization of me
13、thods for the sampling and analysis of non-ferrous metals. Other methods in the series are as follows: Part1: Sampling of ingot tin; Part2: Determination of tin in ingot tin; Part4: Determination of copper in ingot tin and tin-lead solders; Part5: Determination of lead in ingot tin and tin-antimony
14、solders; Part6: Determination of copper in high purity ingot tin; Part7: Determination of silver in solders; Part8: Determination of bismuth in ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys; Part9: Determination of arsenic in ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys; P
15、art10: Determination of iron in ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys; Part11: Determination of tin in solders; Part12: Sampling of solders. The complete BritishStandard methods will be found suitable for the grades of metals covered by BS3252, “Ingot tin”, BS219, “Soft solders”
16、, and BS3332, “White metal bearing alloy ingots”. In the methods for determining impurities, sample weights and aliquots have been chosen to cover the range of impurity content usually found in commercial tin ingots, solders and white metal bearing alloy ingots. For amounts of impurity outside this
17、range, sample weights or aliquots should be adjusted accordingly. The methods have been found to give reliable and reproducible results, and, while in some instances they may appear to be lengthy, it should be realized that they are put forward as “referee” methods to be used in cases of dispute. In
18、 the preparation of the calibration graphs an attempt has been made to define concentrations, but because these are linked with the particular instrument used for determining optical density they should be used only as a guide. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisi
19、ons of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1 and2 and a ba
20、ck cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS3338-3:1961 BSI 12-1999 1 Introduction a) Principle. Antimony is determined photometrically with rhodamine B. b) Range. Up
21、 to0.25per cent antimony. c) Reproducibility. 10per cent of antimony present. Apparatus a) Any volumetric glassware used shall be of Class A accuracy as defined in the appropriate BritishStandards, or where no BritishStandard exists, as described in the National Physical Laboratory Publication “Volu
22、metric Tests on Volumetric Glassware”. b) Any instrument suitable for measuring the optical density of the solution at a wavelength of550m4 may be used. c) 1cm or2cm cells (Note1). d) Alternatively, if a filter photometer of the balanced two cell type is used, the filter combination should conform a
23、s closely as possible to the above wavelength. The following have been found suitable: Tungsten lamp Ilford605,604 (Note2) or equivalent filters. Solutions required All reagents shall be of the highest purity obtainable and distilled water shall be used throughout. Solutions shall be freshly prepare
24、d and, where necessary, filtered. Standard antimony (1mlN 1.2mg of antimony). Dissolve0.12g of pure antimony by heating with5ml of sulphuric acid (sp. gr.1.84) and allow to cool, and dilute with15ml of water. Cool, and add50ml of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18). Transfer to a100ml graduated flas
25、k, and dilute to the mark. Standard antimony Solution A (1mlN 0.0024mg of antimony). Dilute2.0ml of the standard antimony solution(1mlN 1.2mg of antimony) with hydrochloric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18) to1litre in a graduated flask. Standard antimony Solution B (1mlN 0.0012mg of antimony). Dilute1.0ml of
26、the standard antimony solution(1mlN 1.2mg of antimony) with hydrochloric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18) to1litre in a graduated flask. Ceric sulphate. Add100ml of sulphuric acid(3percent v/v) to3.3g of ceric sulphate, warm to dissolve, and filter. Hydrochloric acid (10per cent v/v). Dilute100ml of hydrochlo
27、ric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18) to1litre. Hydroxyammonium chloride (1per cent w/v). Dissolve1g of hydroxyammonium chloride in100ml of water. Rhodamine B (0.02per cent w/v). Dissolve0.02g of rhodamine B in100ml of hydrochloric acid(10percent v/v). Sodium metabisulphite (1per cent w/v). Dissolve10g of sodi
28、um metabisulphite in water and dilute to1litre. Sampling Recommended methods of obtaining a suitable sample for the analytical procedure given below are described in BS3338-1, “Sampling of ingot tin”. Procedure To0.25 g of sample in a250ml beaker add10ml of sulphuric acid (sp. gr.1.84) heat to disso
29、lve, and allow to cool. Add30ml of water, then50ml of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18), warming on a hot plate if necessary, to dissolve any lead sulphate. Cool, transfer to a100ml graduated flask and dilute to the mark. Transfer by means of a pipette a10ml aliquot (Note3) into a separating funne
30、l, and add0.5ml of sodium metabisulphite solution(1per cent). Cool to below25 C and add3ml of the ceric sulphate solution, then0.5ml of hydroxyammonium chloride solution(1per cent). Allow to stand until the ceric sulphate is reduced then dilute to60ml. Add10.0ml of isopropyl ether, and shake for30 s
31、econds. Allow to separate and run off the aqueous layer. Wash twice with2ml portions of hydrochloric acid(10per cent) discarding the aqueous layer each time. Finally add2ml rhodamine B solution and shake for10 seconds. Allow to separate and discard the aqueous layer (Note4) together with a few drops
32、 of the ether layer. Dry the stem of the funnel with a roll of filter paper, and run off the isopropyl ether layer into a small stoppered bottle. Measure the optical density of the solution at20 1 C, using the conditions specified under “Apparatus”, and using isopropyl ether in the reference cell. C
33、arry out simultaneously a blank determination on the reagents. Follow the same procedure without the sample and use the same quantity of reagents. Deduct the blank reading and calculate the percentage antimony in the sample by reference to the appropriate calibration graph.BS3338-3:1961 2 BSI 12-199
34、9 Calibration Transfer the following amounts of standard antimony solution (Note5) 1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0ml into separating funnels and adjust the volume of each to5ml with hydrochloric acid (sp. gr.1.161.18). Add5ml of water, and0.5ml of sodium metabisulphite solution(1percent) and continue as in the
35、procedure. Carry out simultaneously a blank determination, using the same quantity of reagents. Prepare calibration graphs by plotting optical density against weight of antimony in the various aliquots, after deduction of the blank reading. NOTE 1A2cm cell should be used for antimony contents in the
36、 range0.004 to0.024per cent and a1cm cell for antimony contents up to0.05per cent. NOTE 2For amounts of antimony greater than0.01mg it is preferable to use the Ilford604 filter. NOTE 3For antimony contents between0.05 and0.1per cent a5ml aliquot should be taken, and for those between0.1 and0.25per c
37、ent a2ml aliquot. These aliquots should be diluted to10ml with hydrochloric acid(50per cent). NOTE 4This solution should still be coloured red. If colourless a smaller aliquot of the original solution should be used. NOTE 5For the1cm cell use standard antimony SolutionA(1mlN 0.0024mg Sb) and for the
38、2cm cell use Solution B(1mlN 0.0012mg Sb).blankBS3338-3: 1961 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL BSIBritishStandardsInstitution BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing BritishStandards.
