27、ntent of soluble chromate in fertilizers. Method A specifies the determination of chromate after extraction with water by photometry. This method can be used to determine Cr(VI)-mass fractions in solids higher than 1 mg/kg. Method B specifies the determination of chromate by alkaline digestion and i
28、on chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. This method can be used to determine Cr(VI)-mass fractions in solids higher than 0,1 mg/kg. NOTE In case of reducing or oxidizing fertilizer matrix, no valid Cr(VI) content can be reported. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole
29、or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1 2. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordan
33、ce with EN 1482-2. Reasonable precautions have to be taken to prevent oxidation of chromate present in the sample. Samples shall be taken using appropriate devices and placed in containers that do not contain stainless steel (e.g. plastic, glass). After digestion, the sample shall be analyzed as soo
34、n as possible.

35、5.1 Principle Chromate is extracted from the sample with water at room temperature. The chromate concentration in the extract is measured by colorimetry using 1,5-diphenylcarbazide. When chromate reduces the 1,5-diphenylcarbazide a magenta coloured complex of 1,5-diphenylcarbazone and chromium is fo
36、rmed which can be measured colorimetrically at 540 nm. 5.2 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water conforming to 5.2.1. 5.2.1 Water, according to EN ISO 3696, grade 2 (electrical conductivity max. 0,1 mS m-1equivalent to resistivity greater than 0,01 Mm at 25 C). It is re
37、commended that the water used is obtained from a purification system that delivers ultrapure water having a resistivity greater than 0,18 Mm. 5.2.2 Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) = 12 mol/l; 37 % volume fraction, 1,18 g/ml. 5.2.3 Hydrochloric acid, diluted, c(HCl) approximately 6 mol/l. Mix equal volumes
38、 of hydrochloric acid (5.2.2) and water (5.2.1). 5.2.4 Diphenylcarbazide solution. Dissolve 1,0 g Diphenylcarbazide CO(NHNHC6H5)2 in 100 ml acetone and add one drop of acetic acid. If this solution is stored in a glass bottle in the dark at 4 C, it may be used for approximately two weeks. This solut
39、ion shall be clear without colour. If the diphenylcarbazide solution has become coloured, it shall be discarded and freshly prepared before use. 5.2.5 Chromate standard stock solution, (chromate) = 1 000 mg/l. Dissolve 2 829 mg potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in 1 000 ml water (5.2.1) using a volumet
40、ric flask. This solution may be used for two weeks if stored in the dark at 4 C. 5.2.6 Chromate standard stock solution, (chromate) = 50 mg/l. Dilute 5 ml chromate stock solution (5.2.5) to 100 ml with water (5.2.1) using a volumetric flask. This solution shall be freshly prepared on the day of use.
41、 5.2.7 Standard solutions. Prepare the standard solutions by diluting aliquots of the 50 mg/l chromate standard stock solution (5.2.6) with water (5.2.1) in 100 ml volumetric flasks. The aliquots and final concentrations of chromate are given in Table 1. Other volumes and concentrations may be used
42、for the preparation of standard solutions if appropriate. See 5.4.3 for further instructions on how to prepare the standard solutions.

45、 1 mg. 5.3.3 Membrane filters and vacuum filtration apparatus. The filters should be made of cellulose nitrate, pore size 5 m and fit into the vacuum filtration apparatus. 5.3.4 Mechanical shaker. 5.3.5 Pipettes and/or dilutor, pipettes with fixed or variable volume and volumetric glassware to perfo
46、rm dilutions. Alternatively, a dilutor may be used, which is an instrument used for automated volumetric dilutions. The precision and accuracy of this equipment for volumetric dilutions shall be proved, controlled, and documented regularly. 5.3.6 Spectrophotometer, capable to measure transmitted lig
47、ht at 540 nm. 5.3.7 100 ml bottles, made from PE or PP, equipped with watertight caps. 5.4 Procedure 5.4.1 Preparation of the test solution Weigh approximately 10 g, to the nearest 0,01 g, of the prepared sample and transfer to a suitable extraction vessel (5.3.7). Add 40 ml of water (5.2.1). If the
48、 sample material (e.g. organic material) absorbs a high amount of water, add additionally water (5.2.1) to obtain a fluid suspension. Record the amount of additional water added. It may be necessary to use larger extraction vessels in such cases. Close the cap tightly and shake vigorously for 15 min
49、 on a mechanical shaker (5.3.4). Filter the suspension immediately through membrane filters with 5 m pore size using the vacuum filtration apparatus (5.3.3).
