The work of preparing Intern
19、ational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
20、 ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
21、International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 11212-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 93, Starch (including derivatives and by-products). ISO 11212 consists of the following parts, under the general title Starch an

24、 method.ENISO 11212-1:1997 BSI 01-1999 1 1 Scope This part of ISO 11212 specifies a method for the determination of the arsenic content of starch, including derivatives and by-products, by atomic absorption spectrometry with hybride generation. The hybride generators currently available use very dif
25、ferent techniques; it is thus impossible to propose a comprehensive method likely to ensure the attainment of satisfactory results on all types of apparatus. Each analyst should therefore optimize the conditions of use of his/her own apparatus on the basis of general or particular instructions. 2 De
26、finition For the purposes of this part of ISO 11212, the following definition applies. 2.1 arsenic content quantity of arsenic determined in accordance with the conditions specified in this method and expressed as arsenic (As), in micrograms per kilogram of the product as received 3 Principle Wet di
27、gestion of the organic matrix. Reduction of arsenic (As 3+ ) to arsenic hydride by hydrogen resulting from the action of sodium borohydride on hydrochloric acid. Entrainment of the hydride form by a flow of gas and determination by atomic absorption spectrometry in a heated quartz cell. Measurement

Determination of the concentration of arsenic in the sample by means of a calibration curve. 4 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Nitric acid (r 20= 1,38 g/ml). 4.2 Hydrogen pe

30、nerator (5.3). 4.5 Arsenic standard solution, 1 g/l Standard solutions are commercially available at this concentration. These solutions may be prepared by weighing and dissolving the salt or metal of known purity. 4.6 Calibration solutions Before each series of measurements, prepare from the standa
31、rd arsenic solution (4.5) at least five calibration solutions covering the range of concentrations to be determined. 100 ml of each calibration solution shall contain 7,5 ml of nitric acid (4.1). 5 Apparatus All the glassware used shall be previously washed by means of suitable products (such as nit
32、ric acid) and rinsed with distilled water to eliminate any trace of arsenic. Use ordinary laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following. 5.1 Digestion apparatus (see Figure 1), made of borosilicate glass and consisting of three elements terminating with conical ground joints (5.1.1 to 5.1.3
33、). 5.1.1 Soxhlet extraction tube, of capacity 200ml, equipped with a stopcock and a lateral tube connected directly to the flask (5.1.3). 5.1.2 Cooling apparatus, 35 cm long, connected to the top of the Soxhlet extraction tube (5.1.1). 5.1.3 Round-bottom flask, of capacity 250 ml, connected to the l
34、ower part of the Soxhlet extraction tube (5.1.1). When the stopcock is open, the device is under reflux; when it is closed, the Soxhlet extraction tube(5.1.1) retains the condensed water and acid vapours. 5.2 Atomic absorption spectrometer, consisting of five elements (5.2.1 to 5.2.5). 5.2.1 High-re

38、on apparatus described in 5.1. Weigh, to the nearest 1 mg, about 5 g of the test sample into the flask (5.1.3). Add 27,5 ml of nitric acid (4.1) and 1 ml of hydrogen peroxide (4.2). Distil under reflux for 4 h leaving the stopcock open. Turn the stopcock off, continue heating and distil until about
39、20 ml 1 ml of liquid are recovered in the extraction tube (5.1.1). Stop heating and allow the flask to cool. Separate the flask from the extraction tube. Add 20 ml of water to the digested residue in the flask, bring to the boil for a few minutes, stop heating and allow to cool. Transfer the solutio
40、n to a 100 ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with distilled water and stir. 6.3 Blank test Perform digestion under the same conditions as in 6.2, replacing the test portion by 5 ml of water. 6.4 Determination of the calibration curve Carry out the analysis of the diluted calibration solutions
41、(4.6) with reference to the instructions for use of the hydride generator (5.3), by adding the recommended quantities of hydrochloric acid solution (4.4) and sodium borohydride solution (4.3). Measure the absorbance of each calibration solution at a wavelength of 193,7 nm using the spectrometer (5.2
42、). Draw the calibration curve by plotting the arsenic concentrations of the calibration solutions, expressed in micrograms per litre, as the abscissa against the corresponding values of the signal, read either in maximum absorbance or in integrated absorbance, as the ordinate. The calibration curve
43、shall be periodically checked depending on the length of the series of analyses. 6.5 Determination Measure the absorbance of the test samples under the same conditions as the calibration solutions and compare the results with the previously plotted calibration curve.
