EN 15360:2007 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a method for the selective determination of dicyandiamide (DCD) in addition to all the other forms of nitrogen fixations,
16、particularly in fertilizers to which DCD has been added as a nitrification inhibiting agent. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edit

18、d or suspended in water using an ultrasonic bath. Methyl dicyandiamide is added to the filtered solution as the internal standard. The solution is then transferred onto a C18 reversed-phase column using a bypass injector and then separated. For detection, a UV-detector is used at a wavelength of 220
19、 nm. 4 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water conforming to grade 2 of EN ISO 3696. 4.1 Dicyandiamide standard solution Weigh 50 mg of dicyandiamide of known purity into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and dissolve in water; make up the volume to the mark. Pipette 10 ml of t

22、 l bypass injector. 6 Sampling and sample preparation Sampling is not part of the method specified in this document; however, a recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 7 Procedure 7.1 Preparing the analytical solution W
23、eigh to the nearest 0,001 g, between 0,8 g and 1,5 g of the ground and thoroughly homogenized test sample (corresponding to approximately 50 mg of DCD) and mix with 750 ml of water into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and dissolve using an ultrasonic bath (5.1). Those portions that have not dissolved af
24、ter 5 min are disregarded. Make up the volume to the mark with water. Filter one part of the homogenized sample solution (approximately 50 ml) through the membrane filter (5.2) into a dry vessel. Pipette 10 ml of this filtrate into a 100 ml volumetric flask and, after having added 10 ml of the inter
25、nal standard solution (4.2), make up the volume to the mark with water. 7.2 HPLC conditions Eluent: Mixture of water and methanol (4.3), (99 + 1) parts by volume Separation column and packing: 250 mm x 4,6 mm C18 reversed-phase column Column temperature: Room temperature Flow rate: 1,0 ml/min Wavele
26、ngth: 220 nm7.3 HPLC determination Alternately, transfer the standard solution (4.1) and the test solution (7.1) onto the separation column three times, applying the standard solution before the test solution. Measure the peak areas for DCD and methyl dicyandiamide. EN 15360:2007 (E) 6 8 Calculation
27、 Calculate the proportion in the standard solution (4.1), Pxaccording to the following equation: 21xAAP = (1) where A1is the peak area for DCD (4.1); A2is the peak area of the internal standard. Calculate the proportion in the test solution (7.1), Pxaccording to the following equation: 23xAAP = (2)
28、where A2is the peak area of the internal standard; A3is the peak area for DCD (of 7.1). Take from each of the groups three values for Pxand Px, the mean values PxMand PxM, and calculate the DCD content of the sample, expressed in g/100 g using the following equation: mPxmPxw=MMDCD(3) where PxMis the
29、 mean value of the proportions for the sample; PxMis the mean value of the proportions for the standard; m is the mass of DCD in the standard solution (4.1) (50 mg), in milligrams; m is the mass of the sample in the aliquot part of the test solution (7.1) used, in milligrams. If necessary, correct t
30、he final result depending on the purity of the DCD used for the standard solution. 9 Precision 9.1 General The precision of the method has been determined in an inter-laboratory trial, carried out and evaluated in 1997 according to ISO 5725-1. A summary of the results is given in Annex A. The values
31、 derived from this inter-laboratory trial might not be applicable to concentration ranges and matrices other than those given. EN 15360:2007 (E) 7 9.2 Repeatability The absolute difference between two independent single test results obtained using the same method on identical test material in the sa
32、me laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within short time intervals, will exceed the values for the repeatability limit r, given in Table 1, on average in no more than 5 % of cases. 9.3 Reproducibility The absolute difference between two independent single test results obtained u
33、sing the same method on identical test material in different laboratories by different operators using different equipment will exceed the values for the reproducibility limit R, given in Table 1, on average in no more than 5 % of cases.

By variation of the weighed portion and the extent of dilution, DCD contents of between (0,1 g and 100 g) per 100 g
35、 can be determined. 10.2 The method may also be carried out using an external standard. In this case the equation for the calculation has to be modified accordingly. 11 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: a) information necessary for complete identification
36、of the sample; b) test method used, making reference to this document, i.e. EN 15360; c) test results together with the units used to express them; d) date the test was finished; e) statement as to whether the requirement for the repeatability limit has been fulfilled; f) procedural steps not specif
