20、e indentified as soluble complexing agents in fertilizers. NOTE Lignosulfonate, as a complexing agent, is a natural polymer produced as a by-product of the sulfite method for manufacturing paper from wood pulp in the paper industry. As a natural polymer, it presents a poorly defined and variable che
21、mical structure. It is an intricate mixture of small- to moderate-sized polymeric compounds with sulfonate groups attached to the molecule, and diverse complexing capacity. The methods are applicable to EC fertilizers covered by Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 1. 2 Normative references The following re

Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 5 Method A: Determination of phenolic hydroxyl content and 232,5 nm absorption for the identification of lignosulfonates 5.1 Principle The method for the determination of the phenolic hydro
26、xyl content is based on the ultraviolet absorption of phenols in alkaline solution (phenolate). The absorbance of an alkaline solution of the sample is measured directly against an acid solution of the same sample. The phenolic hydroxyl content of the sample is calculated from the molar extinction c
27、oefficient maximum of the resulting curve and the molar extinction coefficient of reference compounds determined in the same way. DIN EN 16109:2012-01 EN 16109:2011 (E) 5 The determination of the absorption at 232,5 nm is normally considered the method for the quantification of lignosulfonates, prov
28、iding that no other ultraviolet absorbing organic compounds are present.

47、norganic sulfur (free sulfur, bisulfite addition compounds, sulfates, sulfites, sulfides, thiosulfates and tetrathionates). The method is based on the oxidation of inorganic sulfur to sulfate with alkaline iodine and its determination as barium sulfate. The remaining compounds are oxidized with a ni
48、tric-perchloric acid mixture to destroy organic matter and convert the sulfonated sulfur to sulfate, which is then determined as barium sulfate.
