9、ront cover.BS6200-3.26.2:1991 BSI 09-1999 1 1 Scope This Subsection of BS6200 describes a gravimetric method for the determination of silicon in acid-resisting high silicon irons. The method is applicable to silicon contents from10% (m/m) to20% (m/m). NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to i
10、n this Subsection of BS6200 are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Principle The test portion is dissolved in a mixture of ammonium chloride, hydrobromic acid and bromine. After evaporation to dryness and extraction in acid, the precipitated silica is filtered off and the filtrate fumed with perchlo
11、ric acid, redissolved and filtered. The combined silica precipitates are ignited in a platinum vessel and silicon calculated from loss in weight with hydrofluoric acid. 3 Reagents During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only grade3water as specified in BS3978. WARNI
12、NG. Suitable safety precautions should be taken during reagent preparation and use of bromine, hydrobromic acid and hydrofluoric acid, which are all highly irritant and corrosive. Perchloric acid vapour may cause explosions in the presence of nitrous fumes or organic material in general. 3.1 Ammoniu
13、m chloride 3.2 Bromine-hydrobromic acid. To100mL of hydrobromic acid, density =1.46g/mL to1.49 g/mL, add10mL of bromine and mix. 3.3 Hydrochloric acid, =1.16g/mL to1.18g/mL. 3.4 Hydrochloric acid, diluted1+4. To500mL of water, add200mL of hydrochloric acid(3.3), mix, dilute to1L and mix. 3.5 Hydrofl
14、uoric acid,40% (m/m) 3.6 Nitric acid, =1.42g/mL. 3.7 Perchloric acid, =1.54g/mL. 3.8 Sodium carbonate, anhydrous. 3.9 Sulfuric acid, =1.84g/mL. 3.10 Sulfuric acid, diluted1+3. To70mL of water add cautiously25mL of sulfuric acid(3.9), mix, cool, dilute to100mL and mix. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Ordinary labora
15、tory apparatus 4.2 Platinum vessel 4.3 Muffle furnace, operating at1100 C. 5 Sampling Carry out sampling in accordance with BS1837. NOTEBS6200-2, which will supersede BS1837, is currently in preparation. On its publication this Subsection will be amended to include sampling in accordance with BS6200
16、-2. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test portion For materials with up to15% (m/m) silicon, weigh to the nearest0.001g a test portion of1.0g. For higher silicon contents weigh a0.5g test portion. 6.2 Blank test In parallel with the determination and following the same procedure carry out a blank test, using the sam
17、e quantities of all reagents. 6.3 Determination 6.3.1 Preparation of the test solution Place the test portion in a250mL squat beaker. Add1g of ammonium chloride(3.1) and20mL of bromine-hydrobromic acid mixture(3.2), cover the beaker and allow to stand for30min. Heat on a steam bath until any remaini
18、ng sample has dissolved, evaporate to dryness and continue heating for1h. Add20mL of hydrochloric acid(3.3) and heat on the steam bath until soluble salts are dissolved. Dilute with100mL of cold water. 6.3.2 First separation of silica Filter through a paper-pulp pad into a600mL squat beaker, rinse t
19、he250mL beaker and cover with small washes of hot hydrochloric acid(3.4) and remove adherent particles of precipitate with the aid of a rubber-tipped glass rod. Wash the filter alternately with hot hydrochloric acid(3.4) and cold water, until freed from iron salts. Remove water from the pad using li
20、ght suction and then transfer the filter pad and silica to the platinum vessel(4.2), using small pieces of ashless filter paper, and reserve. 6.3.3 Recovery of soluble silica 6.3.3.1 Cover the600mL beaker, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, cool and add20mL of water. Add nitric acid(3.6) dropwise to
21、 decompose bromides and boil to expel free bromine. Rinse the cover glass. Add25mL of perchloric acid(3.7). 6.3.3.2 Evaporate until perchloric acid fumes appear and continue heating for10min to15min at a temperature sufficient to maintain a steady reflux of acid on the wall of the beaker. Allow to c
22、ool. Add20mL of hydrochloric acid(3.3), heat until soluble salts are dissolved and dilute with150mL of cold water. Filter and wash as described in6.3.2. Transfer the filter to the platinum vessel(4.2) containing the first filter.BS6200-3.26.2:1991 2 BSI 09-1999 6.3.4 Ignition and measurement of sili
23、ca Dry, ignite at as low a temperature as possible until carbonaceous matter is removed, and finally heat at not less than1100 C until a constant weight is obtained after cooling in a desiccator and weighing. Moisten the residue with water, add four drops of sulfuric acid(3.10) and5mL of hydrofluori
24、c acid(3.5). Evaporate to dryness and heat at not less than1100 C to constant weight. 6.3.5 Treatment of silicon carbide 6.3.5.1 For samples of high silicon iron containing silicon carbide, recognizable as a greyish-black residue insoluble after the hydrofluoric acid treatment, proceed as given in6.
