A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample pre
25、paration shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the test solution Weigh a test portion corresponding to approximately 8 mg of 3-methlypyrazole into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask. Add approximately 750 ml of water (5.2) and dissolve in the ultrasonic bath (6.2
26、). Make up to the mark with water (5.2) and filter a part of the sample solution through a membrane filter (6.3, 6.4) in order to remove any un-dissolved substances which may still be present. This solution is used for the determination. NOTE The amount of ammonium nitrate-urea solution weighed in i
27、s 10 g, precise to 10 mg. For solid fertilizers, for reasons of homogeneity, an amount weighed in should be used of 100 g, precise to 0,1 g. In this case, the dilution of the filtrate by 1+9 is necessary; this is to be taken into account during the calculation. 8.2 Preparation of the calibration sol
28、utions Weigh 1 g of 3-methylpyrazole (5.3) to the nearest of 0,1 mg into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask. Dissolve with water (5.2), make up to the mark with water (5.2) and mix well. Pipette 10 ml of this solution into a 100 ml volumetric flask, make up to the mark with water (5.2) and mix well. Pipett
29、e 5 ml, 10 ml, and 15 ml of this solution into three 100 ml volumetric flasks. Make up each flask to the mark with water (5.2) and mix well. Take the solutions to create the calibration curve. 8.3 HPLC conditions Separation column: filling for reversed phase HPLC BS EN 15905:2010EN 15905:2010 (E) 6

31、alibration curve, inject an amount of 20 l of each calibration solution (see 8.2) three times. The calibration curve can be used to for the content determination if the correlation coefficient 0,99. The correlation coefficient is calculated in accordance with the method of smallest squares. Inject t
32、he test solution two times in succession. 9 Calculation and expression of the results 9.1 Calculation Carry out the evaluation on the basis of the calibration curve over the peak heights or the peak areas. Calculate the mass fraction of 3-methylpyrazole, wMP, in percent according to the following eq
33、uation: maFbAw=100)(dpkMP(1) where Apkis the peak height or peak area; b is the ordinate section of calibration curve; a is the rise of the calibration curve; Fdis the dilution factor; m is the mass of the test portion, in milligrams. 9.2 Expression of results Calculate the arithmetic mean from both
34、 values obtained. Indicate the result to the nearest 0,001 %.
