19、um and formate in calcium foliar fertilizers in the presence of calcium chloride. This is determined and calculated by individual analytical determination of the following components: Calcium (Ca2+), Chloride (Cl-), Formate (HCOO-). The method is applicable to calcium foliar fertilizers with a calci
20、um content of approximately 30 %. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The substances ca
24、lcium formate and calcium chloride are calculated stoichiometrically from the analytical results determined in each case (4.2, 4.3 and 4.4) (see Clause 9). 4.2 Calcium The calcium content is determined complexometrically with the diluted sample in strongly alkaline solution by means of adjusted 0,1
25、mol/l EDTA solution (5.1) and the calcium-specific indicator, calconcarboxylic acid (8.2). BS EN 15909:2010EN 15909:2010 (E) 5 4.3 Formate The formate content is determined isocratically by reversed phase HPLC on the basis of the diluted sample (see 8.3). Evaluation is carried out with external stan
26、dard. 4.4 Chloride The chloride content is determined by potentiometric titration according to the following reaction (see 8.4); the sample is first diluted, acetone is added and then the sample is acidified with acetic acid: Cl-+ Ag+ AgCl (solid) After each addition of AgNO3the measured potentials
27、are measured and recorded using a titroprocessor. The endpoint is reached when the differential quotient E/V, i. e. the potential change E observed for each volume step V, reaches its greatest value. This point can be determined using a titroprocessor or voltmeter. In this titration the chloride ion
28、s which are determined include other water-soluble halogen ions apart from fluorides. The total halogen content is designated chloride content. See EN 480-10 for the principles. 5 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled or demineralized water (grade 3 according to EN
