BS EN 12945:2014EN 12945:2014 (E) 4 Introduction Two different procedures are described (method A and method
18、 B) because the titration to pH 7,0 is not applicable to silicate liming materials due to the precipitation of compounds at this pH value. In method B the turning point at pH 4,8 on the titration curve is taken as the end-point of the titration. For carbonaceous liming materials the difference in th
19、e consumption of sodium hydroxide solution for back titration between the titration end-points of pH 4,8 and pH 7,0 is negligible. BS EN 12945:2014EN 12945:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the neutralizing value (NV) of liming materials. Method
20、 A is applicable to all liming materials except silicate liming materials. Method B is applicable to all liming materials. Both methods do not correctly take into account the potential neutralizing value of material containing more than 3 % P2O5. For a more accurate agronomic assessment of products
21、containing more than 3 % P2O5determine the liming efficiency according to EN 14984. NOTE The methods described in ISO 6598 1 and ISO 7497 2 can be used for the determination of P2O5content. Further information on P analyses is given in 3 and 4. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whol
22、e or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

Cool to ambient temperature. Transfer quantitatively into a 250 ml beaker and insert the electrodes of the pH meter (6.2)
35、and a stirrer (6.3). Titrate with the sodium hydroxide standard solution (5.3) with moderate stirring (avoid splashing) until a pH of 7,0 is stable for 1 min whilst stirring is maintained. 8.2.2 Method B 8.2.2.1 Test portion Weigh about 0,5 g, to the nearest 0,001 g, of the prepared test sample (8.1

37、ent temperature, then dilute with water to about 100 ml and add 5 ml of hydrogen peroxide solution (5.5). NOTE Ferrous ions in silicate liming materials are oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to ferric ions before titration, because ferrous ions otherwise would consume hydrogen ions during titration. Tra
