9、oreword WARNING NOTE. Sodium fluoride is toxic and is irritant, particularly in the form of dust. Carry out operations involving its use in a fume cupboard and wear suitable protective clothing to prevent inhalation of the dust and contact with the eyes, skin and clothing. This British Standard has
10、been prepared under the direction of the Chemicals Standards Committee in order to provide methods for the analysis of sodium fluoride for industrial use. For some years the UnitedKingdom has participated in the work of preparing methods of test applicable to this material, organized by Subcommittee
11、7 (formerly WG8), Aluminium oxide and related compounds, of Technical Committee47, Chemistry, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). As international agreement is reached on the methods, it is proposed to publish them as Parts of this British Standard. This Part is identical wi
12、th ISO3430 “Sodium fluoride primarily used for the production of aluminium Determination of silica content Reduced molybdosilicate spectrophotometric method”. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication, without deviation, as a Br
13、itish Standard. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. The comma has been used throughout as a decimal marker. In British Standards, it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as
14、 the decimal marker. Where the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. Related British Standards for ISO2831 1) , ISO 2832 1)and ISO 2833 1)are BS5072-1, BS5072-2 and BS5072-3 respectively. NOTEThe title and clause1 of ISO3429, IS
15、O3430, ISO3431, ISO3566 and ISO4278 (seetheAnnex) state that the sodium fluoride is “primarily used for the production of aluminium”. This is incorrect, at least for the UnitedKingdom. This has been brought to the attention of ISO Technical Committee 47, in a proposal to amend the International Stan

22、 12-1999 1 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies a spectrophotometric method, using the reduced molybdosilicate, for determining the silica content of sodium fluoride primarily used for the production of aluminium. The method is applicable to products of which the P
23、2 O 5content does not exceed0,02% (m/m). 2 Reference ISO 3428, Sodium fluoride for industrial use Preparation and storage of test samples. 3 Principle Alkaline fusion of a test portion by means of a mixture of sodium carbonate and boric acid. Solution of the fused mass in excess nitric acid so that
24、the pH of the final solution is between0,3 and0,5 after being diluted to250ml. Formation, in a suitable aliquot portion, of the oxidized molybdosilicate (yellow) under well-defined conditions of acidity, concentration of reagents, temperature and time. Selective reduction of the complex in a high ac
25、idity sulphuric medium and in the presence of tartaric acid to eliminate interference from phosphorus. Disturbing influence of fluorine is eliminated by the presence of boric acid.
