7、ndard, togetherwith DIN EN ISO 7980,July 2000 edition,supersedes DIN 38406-3,September 1982 edition.ForewordThis standard has been jointly prepared by the Normenausschuss Wasserwesen (Water Practice StandardsCommittee) and Study Group Wasserchemie (Water Chemistry) of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chem
8、iker(German Chemists Society) (cf. Explanatory notes).Expert assistance and specialized laboratories will be required to perform the analyses specified in thisstandard. Existing safety instructions shall be observed.Depending on the objective of the analysis, a check shall be made on a case-by-case
9、basis as to whetherand to what extent additional boundary conditions will have to be specified.AmendmentsThis standard differs from the September 1982 edition in that the method of determining calcium andmagnesium by atomic absorption spectrometry has been incorporated in DIN EN ISO 7980 and thecomp
10、lexometric method (not incorporated in DIN EN ISO 7980) has been editorially revised.Previous editionDIN 38406-3: 1982-09.CAUTION. Users of this standard should be familiar with standard laboratory practice. It is notclaimed that all the safety problems associated with the use of the method have bee
11、n dealt withexhaustively here. It is therefore the responsibility of the user to take appropriate safety precautionsand to ensure that these comply with national regulations.Page 2DIN 38406-3 : 2002-031 ScopeThis standard specifies two methods of determining calcium and magnesium.The method describe
12、d in clause 3 serves to determine calcium in ground water, surface water and drinkingwater in concentrations of 2 mg/l to 100 mg/l (equivalent to 0,05 mmol/l to 2,5 mmol/l). In the case of highercalcium concentrations, the sample is to be diluted prior to analysis. The method may also be applied to
13、wastewater provided its heavy metal concentrations do not give rise to interference.The method described in clause 4 serves to determine the total calcium and magnesium in ground water,surface water and drinking water if their total concentration exceeds 0,05 mmol/l. The method shall not be usedfor
14、seawater, water having a comparable salt content and waste water. Other methods, such as the atomicabsorption spectrometric method specified in DIN EN ISO 7980, are suitable in such cases.To determine calcium and magnesium separately, it will first be necessary to determine the calcium content bythe
15、 method specified in clause 3 and then calculate the magnesium content from the difference between thetotal calcium and magnesium concentration and the calcium concentration (see clause 5).2 Normative referencesThis standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publicat
16、ions.

21、A) using calconcarboxylic acid as indicator at a pH value of between 12 and 13, they form a red complex.Magnesium ions are precipitated as hydroxide and do not interfere with the determination.During the titration, free calcium ions are the first to react with the EDTA, followed by those bound to th
22、eindicator, which changes colour from red to blue.3.2 InterferenceAluminium, barium, lead, iron, copper, manganese, strontium, zinc and tin ions may interfere with the determi-nation by also being included in the titration result or rendering the colour change indistinct. At the high pH valueof the
23、titration, orthophosphate ions in concentrations greater than 1 mg/l cause calcium to be lost by precipi-tation. Interference due to carbonate ions can be prevented by boiling the sample and then cooling it to about50 C.Interference by iron in concentrations of 10 mg/l or above can be eliminated by
24、adding 250 mg of sodiumcyanide (Caution. Highly toxic!) or a few ml of triethanolamine immediately prior to titration. In addition, cyanideions reduce interference due to zinc, copper and cobalt, while triethanolamine reduces interference due toaluminium.Calcium carbonate may be precipitated if the
25、titration is performed too slowly or if the calcium ion concentrationexceeds 100 mg/l (equivalent to 2,5 mmol/l). To prevent this, titrate the sample more quickly or dilute it.Page 3DIN 38406-3 : 2002-033.3 DesignationDesignation of the method of determining calcium (E 3) as specified in this standa
