9、l index 4-Aminoantipyrine spectrometric methods after distillation”. The International Standard was prepared by subcommittee2, Physical, chemical and biochemical methods, of Technical Committee147, Water quality, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the active participati
10、on and approval of the UK. This Section of BS6068 is a revision of the1984 edition of BS6068-2.12, which is withdrawn and which was identical to ISO6439:1984. There are a number of minor technical clarifications and changes between this revision and BS6068-2.12:1984. There are changes to clauses1, 2
11、, 4.2.1, 4.2.16.4, 4.5.3, 4.6.4 and4.8.1. NOTEThe tests described in this Section of BS6068 should only be carried out in laboratories with suitable facilities and by suitably qualified persons with an appropriate level of chemical expertise. Standard chemical procedures should be followed throughou
12、t. BS6068 is being published in a series of Parts subdivided into Sections that will generally correspond to particular International Standards. Sections are being, or will be, published in Parts1 to7, which, together with Part0, are listed below. Part 0: Introduction; Part 1: Glossary; Part 2: Phys
13、ical, chemical and biochemical methods; Part 3: Radiological methods; Part 4: Microbiological methods; Part 5: Biological methods; Part 6: Sampling; Part 7: Precision and accuracy. The introduction to the International Standard reads as follows. The term “phenol index” as used in this International
14、Standard only includes phenols which react with4-aminoantipyrine under the conditions specified to give coloured compounds. In a water containing phenol itself, there will usually be associated with it other phenolic compounds whose sensitivity to the reagents used in the following methods may not n
15、ecessarily be the same. The percentage composition of the various phenolic compounds(3.1) present in a given test sample is unpredictable. It is obvious, therefore, that a standard containing a mixture of phenolic compounds cannot be made applicable to all test samples. For this reason, phenol (C 6
16、H 5 OH) has been selected as a standard, and any colour produced by the reaction of other phenolic compounds is measured as phenol and reported as the phenol index(3.2).

18、fied in this International Standard to differentiate between kinds of phenols. Some phenolic compounds with substituents such as alkyl, aryl and nitro in the para position do not produce colour with4-aminoantipyrine. Phenolic compounds containing para substituents such as a carboxyl, halogen, hydrox
19、yl, methoxyl or sulfonic acid, do produce colour with4-aminoantipyrine. Hence the phenol index includes only those phenolic compounds which can be determined under specified conditions. Textual errors. When adopting the text of the International Standard, the following textual errors were discovered
20、. They have been marked in the text and have been reported to ISO in a proposal to amend the text of the International Standard. In4.5.1, line2, “4.4.2 b)” should be read as “4.4 b)”. In4.7, the second paragraph should be deleted. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary prov
21、isions 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.

23、ermining the phenol index(3.2) in drinking waters, surface waters and waste waters. After a preliminary distillation, the test samples are analysed according to specific application as follows: method A (direct colorimetric method): this method is capable of measuring the phenol index in test sample
24、s that contain more than0,10mg/l in the aqueous phase (without chloroform extraction), using phenol as a standard; method B (chloroform extraction method): this method is capable of measuring the phenol index without dilution from about0,002mg/l to about0,10mg/l when the coloured end-product is extr
25、acted and concentrated in chloroform phase, using phenol as a standard. NOTE 1The limits of detection achievable with both methods are insufficient for checking compliance with the limits given in the Directive80/778/EEC for drinking water. NOTE 2According to the results of a German interlaboratory
26、trial using a method almost identical to method B, the lower limit of detection is0,01mg/l. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

45、mples Sampling of different kinds of waters should be carried out in accordance with ISO5667-1, ISO5667-2 and ISO5667-3, observing the following additional precautions. Samples shall be collected in glass bottles. Phenolic compounds in water are subject to both chemical and biochemical oxidation. Th
46、erefore, unless the samples are analysed within4h of collection, they shall be preserved when collected, using the following procedure: a) acidify the samples to a pH of approximately4,0 with phosphoric acid(4.2.13). Use methyl orange(4.2.8) or a pH meter(4.3.2) to check the pH; b) inhibit biochemic
47、al oxidation of phenolic compounds in the sample by adding1,0g of copper(II) sulfate(4.2.5) per litre of the sample; c) store the sample in the cold(5 C to10 C), and analyse the preserved samples within24h of collection. 2) Trivial name: potassium ferricyanide.BS 6068-2.12:1990 BSI 10-1999 3 4.5 Pre
48、liminary distillation The use of copper(II) sulfate, as described in4.5.1 during distillation of an acidic sample, permits the formation of copper(II) sulfide without subsequent decomposition to hydrogen sulfide. The acidic solution also prevents the precipitation of copper(II) hydroxide, which acts
49、 as an oxidizing agent towards phenolic compounds. 4.5.1 Measure500ml of the sample into a beaker. If the sample was not preserved with copper(II) sulfate4.4.2 b), 3)add5ml of copper(II) sulfate solution(4.2.6), and adjust the pH of the solution to between1 and2 with phosphoric acid(4.2.13). Transfer the mixture to the distillation apparatus(4.3.1). Use a500ml graduated cylinder as receiver. Distil400ml of the sample. Stop the distillation and, when boiling ceases, add100ml of water to the distillation flask. Contin
