It is identical with ISO6835:1981 “Surface active agents Washing powders Determination of total boron conte
6、nt Titrimetric method”, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This method supersedes method D2 of BS3762:1964. The original method involved isolation of the inorganic material in a test portion by low temperature ashing or by repeated extraction with95% (V/V) ethanol
7、, dissolution in water, treatment with anionic and cationic exchange resins to obtain the boric acid present in the test portion and titrimetric determination with sodium hydroxide solution in the presence of mannitol using phenolphthalein as indicator. The revised method removes silicates by adjust
8、ing the original sample solution to pH3 and filtering, and then removes anionic-active matter and phosphates by anion-exchange on a chloride form of resin. The boric acid is finally titrated potentiometrically with sodium hydroxide solution in the presence of mannitol. Terminology and conventions. T
9、he text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a BritishStandard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in BritishStandards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a dec
10、imal marker. In BritishStandards, it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “Section of this BritishStandard”. The Technical Committee has reviewed the provi
11、sions of ISO/R385 and ISO648, to which reference is made in clause5, and has decided that they are suitable for use in conjunction with this standard. Related BritishStandards to ISO/R385 and ISO648 are, respectively, BS846 “Specification for burettes” and BS1583 “One-mark pipettes”. Additional info
12、rmation Reagents. With reference to clause4, water complying with BS3978 “Water for laboratory use” is suitable. With reference to4.8 and its footnote, resins of this description from most chemical suppliers have been found suitable. In4.8 the term “rate of reticulation of” may be ignored and it sho
13、uld be noted that the specified particle size range150 to3004m is approximately equivalent to the now superseded designation“50100 mesh”(see Appendix C of BS410:1976 “Specification for test sieves”). Apparatus. With reference to the footnote to5.9 and5.10, many commercial types have been found suita
14、ble and are readily available. This standard describes a method of test only and should not be referred to as a specification defining limits of purity. Reference to the standard should indicate that the method of test used is in conformity with BS3762-3.13. Cross-references International Standard C

30、tory sample. 7.2 Determination 7.2.1 Preparation of the test solution Transfer the test portion(7.1) to the beaker(5.1). Fill the1000ml volumetric flask(5.2) to volume with water at35 to40 C, and pour the water on to the test portion, allowing a few seconds for drainage. Stir vigorously, by means of
31、 the stirrer(5.11), for about3min in order to dissolve the test portion. Small quantities of insoluble silicates (and other salts) may remain undissolved. 7.2.2 Separation by anionic exchange resin By means of a pipette(5.3), transfer200ml of the test solution(7.2.1) to a250ml beaker and, using the
32、hydrochloric acid solutions(4.2 and4.3), adjust the pH to3 0,1, checking by means of the pH-meter(5.5) fitted with the glass electrode(5.6) and the calomel electrode(5.7). Transfer this solution quantitatively to the250ml volumetric flask(5.2) and dilute to volume. Transfer50ml of this solution to t
33、he vacuum filter(5.9) and filter through the filter medium(5.10); the filtrate shall be as clear as possible to avoid any subsequent blocking. Wash the filled ion-exchange column(5.8) with water until the washings are neutral. By means of a pipette(5.3), transfer25ml of the filtrate to the reservoir
34、 of the column and allow it to flow through the column at a rate of1 to1,5ml/min, collecting the eluate in a150ml tail-form beaker. Wash the column three times with25ml portions of water, allowing the water to flow at a rate of1 to1,5ml/min, and collect the washings in the beaker. Regenerate the res
35、in after each passage of the test solution by passing100ml of hydrochloric acid solution diluted(1+4), 1volume of hydrochloric acid( 20approximately1,18g/ml)+4 volumes of water, at a rate of1 to1,5ml/min, and washing with water, at the same rate, until the washings have a pH equal to or greater than
36、5. When not in use, the column should be filled with hydrochloric acid solution diluted(1+4). 7.2.3 Titration By means of the magnetic stirrer(5.10), stir the eluate in the beaker and adjust the pH to5,80 0,05, checking by means of the pH-meter(5.5) fitted with the electrodes(5.6 and5.7), using, as
37、appropriate, the hydrochloric acid solutions(4.2 and4.3), or the sodium hydroxide solutions(4.4 and4.5). Add12g of the D-mannitol(4.1). After stirring for1min, titrate with the sodium hydroxide solution(4.7), using the burette(5.4), until a pH of5,80 0,05 is obtained, measured using the normal scale
38、, then the extended scale, of the pH-meter. The volume of the sodium hydroxide solution used to return to the initial pH of5,8 corresponds to the quantity of boric acid present in the aliquot portion. 8 Expression of results 8.1 Method of calculation The boron oxide content, expressed as a percentag
39、e by mass, is given by the formula where V is the volume, in millilitres, of the sodium hydroxide solution(4.7), used for the titration of the25ml aliquot portion of the test solution(7.2.1); c is the exact concentration, in moles of NaOH per litre, of the sodium hydroxide solution(4.7); m is the ma
40、ss, in grams, of the test portion(7.1); 0,0348is the mass, in grams, of boron oxide corresponding to1ml of exactly1mol/l sodium hydroxide solution. By replacing c in the above formula by the expression given in4.7.2, one obtains the formula Vc 0,034 8 m - 1 000 200 - 250 25 - 100 Vc 174 m - = V 62,5
