26、) and mix thoroughly. 4.16 Water/acetic acid mixture. Add 10 ml of acetic acid (4.4) to 990 ml water (4.2) and mix thoroughly. 4.17 HPLC eluent. Add together 180 ml acetonitrile (4.1), 180 ml methanol (4.3) and 640 ml of the water/acetic acid mixture (4.16), and mix thoroughly. NOTE If the HPLC equi
27、pment has a solvent mixing system where separate containers can hold the acetonitrile, the methanol, and the water/acetic acid mixture, the preparation of 4.17 is unnecessary. 4.18 Standard phenols solution. Weigh 200,0 mg to within 0,1 mg of each of the phenols (4.5 to 4.14) into a single 100 ml on
28、e-mark volumetric flask. Add 36 ml of the acetonitrile/methanol mixture (4.15). Make up to the mark with the water/acetic acid mixture (4.16). Transfer the solution to brown glass storage flasks (5.6). Store the flasks in the dark below 10 C. WARNING Care should be taken to avoid any skin contact wi
29、th the phenols. NOTE Under these storage conditions the solution is stable for six months although frequent use may result in faster ageing. 5 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and glassware together with the following: 5.1 Volumetric glassware, which shall have an accuracy of at least 0,5 %. 5.2

BS EN 1014-4:2010EN 1014-4:2010 (E) 6 5.8 Phase separation one-side silicone-treated filter papers, with a diameter of 70 mm1). 5.9 Glass syringe of 1 ml capacity. 6 Preparation of the calibration solutions and of the t
34、est samples 6.1 Preparation of calibration solutions Transfer by pipette (5.2) 25 ml, 10 ml and 5 ml of the standard phenols solution (4.18) to a series of 100 ml one-mark volumetric flasks. Make up to the mark with HPLC eluent (4.17). Transfer the calibration solutions to brown glass storage flasks
35、 (5.6). Store the flasks in the dark below 10 C. The calibration solutions should be prepared each day. 6.2 Preparation of the test sample 6.2.1 General Prepare duplicate test samples. Ensure that the sample of creosote consists of a single phase. If the laboratory sample derives from creosote in wh
36、ich crystals appear at ambient temperatures, heat the sample to a temperature at which it forms a single phase. 6.2.2 Preparation of “large“ test samples NOTE 1 This procedure should be followed if a sufficient amount of creosote (e.g. 250 g) is available. Weigh accurately and directly into a 500 ml
37、 separating funnel 100,0 g to within 1 mg of the creosote sample. Add the same amount of water (4.2) weighed to an accuracy of 0,1 g. Stopper the funnel and agitate it vigorously for 15 min, venting the funnel from time to time. Allow to stand until the two layers separate (approximately 10 min). Fi
38、lter the aqueous layer through a filter paper until it is clear. NOTE 2 Several passes through the filter paper may be required. Weigh 5,0 g of the clear aqueous extract to an accuracy of 0,01 g into a 10 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Make up to the mark with water (4.2) to produce the test sample.
39、NOTE 3 It may be necessary to use a larger quantity of the clear aqueous extract if the phenolic content is very low. 6.2.3 Preparation of “small“ test samples NOTE This procedure should be followed in case only a small amount of creosote (e.g. 2 g to 5 g) is available. Weigh accurately and directly
40、 into the screw-topped phial (5.7) 1 g of the creosote sample to an accuracy of 1 mg. Add twice this amount of water (4.2), weighed to an accuracy of 0,02 g, agitate vigorously for 15 min. Filter on the phase separation filter (5.8). Take approximately 1 ml of the aqueous phase retained on the filte
41、r with the syringe (5.9), taking care not to include any creosote. 1) Whatman 1 PS is an example of a suitable product available commercially.
