22、 mortar and grouts in accordance with the series EN 934. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (incl
23、uding any amendments) applies. EN 196-2, Methods of testing cement Determination of the chloride, carbon dioxide and alkali content of cement. ISO 648, Laboratory glassware One-mark pipettes. ISO 1042, Laboratory glassware One-mark volumetric flasks. 3 Principle An atomic absorption spectrophotomete
24、r is used to measure the sodium and potassium in dilute nitric acid extracts from admixtures. The extract is nebulised into an air/acetylene flame and the absorption of sodium or potassium radiation as it passes through the flame is measured. The amount of absorption is directly proportional to the
25、sodium or potassium content of the extract at low concentrations. The sodium and potassium contents are separately measured and their sum, proportioned by molecular mass, is reported as the total equivalent Na2O (alkali) content. As an alternative to an atomic absorption spectro-photometer a suitabl
26、e calibrated flame photometer can be used for the determination of sodium and potassium in the test solutions prepared in accordance with this document. EN 480-12:2005 (E) 5 4 Reagents 4.1 Concentrated nitric acid, analytical reagent diluted 1: 1 with water (4.2). 4.2 Distilled, de-ionised or demine

Dissolve 0,188 g sodium chloride, analytical reagent grade, dried at (105 5) C to constant mass, in water (4.2), dilute to 1 litre in
28、 a volumetric flask (5.2) with water2). 4.4 Potassium stock solution (100 mg K2O per litre). Dissolve 0,158 g potassium chloride, analytical reagent grade, dried at (105 5) C to constant mass, in water (4.2), dilute to 1 litre in a volumetric flask (5.2) with water2). 4.5 Calibration solution3).

Whilst spraying wate
35、r adjust the wave length setting around 589 nm (for Na) to give the maximum signal on the detector. Spray the 5,0 mg/l calibration solution and adjust burner height and acetylene flow to give maximum absorption. Spray the 0 mg/l solution and adjust the gain control to give 0 % absorption and then in
36、 turn spray the other calibration solutions and record the absorption for each one. Repeat the operation at a wavelength setting around 768 nm (for K). Some instruments may be used in direct readout concentration mode. When this procedure is used follow the manufacturers calibration instructions. 7
37、Test procedure 7.1 Preparation of test solution 7.1.1 Liquid admixture Mix the samples thoroughly and transfer approximately 1 ml to a pre-weighed weighing boat. Record the mass of admixture sample in mg to the nearest 0,1 mg (m1). Transfer to a 1 litre volumetric flask (5.2) with 150 to 250 ml wate
38、r (4.2) and add 10 ml nitric acid. Dilute to the mark with water. Mix thoroughly. 7.1.2 Powder admixtures Mix the sample thoroughly and weigh approximately 1 g recording the actual mass in mg to 0,1 mg (m1). Transfer to a 500 ml glass beaker, add 150 to 250 ml water (4.2) and 10 ml nitric acid (4.1)
39、. Heat to near boiling on a hot plate and maintain at near boiling for (15 5) minutes. Remove from the source of heat and cool to room temperature. Complete dissolution is not necessary. If any insoluble residue remains, filter the solution through a medium grade filter paper and wash thoroughly wit

EN 480-12:2005 (E) 7 Transfer to a 1 litre volumetric flask (5.2), dilute to the mark with water (4.2) and mix thoroughly. 7.2 Measurement of sodium and potassium Operate the AAS in accordance with the manufacturers instructions w
41、ith the Na/K lamp in place. Whilst spraying water adjust the wave length setting around 589 nm (for Na) to give the maximum signal to the detector. Use the burner height and fuel settings established in the calibration procedure. Adjust the gain control to give 0 % absorption whilst spraying the 0 m
42、g/l calibration solution. Spray one or more calibration solutions to confirm that the calibration graph is valid. If necessary prepare a new graph. Spray the sample solution and record the absorption. Refer to the calibration graph and record the concentration of the sample solution in mg Na2O/litre
43、. If the absorption is off scale prepare a diluted extract by transferring 10,0 ml of the sample solution into a 100 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with the 0 mg/l calibration solution i.e. dilution D = 10. Mix thoroughly and repeat the procedure. Further dilutions may be required. Recor
