16、64:2018 (E)IntroductionThe preparation of this document was based on a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/335) concerning the modernization of methods of analysis of fertilizers in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 1.Aqua re
17、gia is applied for determination of many elements in different matrices. A horizontal standard for aqua regia extraction of soils, sludges and biowaste was prepared by CEN/TC 400. Similar procedure was applied for determination of the aqua regia extractable content of arsenic, mercury, cadmium, chro
18、mium, nickel and lead in fertilizers and liming materials (European Standard prepared by CEN/TC 260). Wide use of the aqua regia extraction and possibility to prepare a suitable horizontal standard was the main reason to develop the given extraction procedure.WARNING Persons using this European Stan
19、dard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to ensure compliance with any national
20、regulatory conditions.IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard are carried out by suitably trained staff.4BS EN 16964:2018EN 16964:2018 (E)1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for the total extraction of boron, cobalt, copper, iron, ma
21、nganese, molybdenum and zinc with aqua regia from mineral fertilizers containing one or more micro-nutrients.The extracts can be analysed according to EN 16963, EN 16965, prEN 17041, prEN 17042 and prEN 17043.This method is also suitable for the extraction of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead to be
22、 determined according to EN 16319; the extraction of mercury to be determined according to EN 16320 and the extraction of arsenic to be determined according to EN 16317.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensab

26、 sample with boiling aqua regia.5 Sampling and sample preparationSampling and sample preparation are not part of this European Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1 2 and a recommended sample preparation method in EN 1482-2 3.6 ReagentsAll reagents shall be of recognized anal
27、ytical grade and they shall have negligible concentration of the element to be determined if compared to the lowest concentration of that element in the sample solution.6.1 Water for extraction, grade 2 according to EN ISO 3696, free from micro-nutrients.6.2 Hydrochloric acid 37 % HCl, c(HCl) = 12 m
28、ol/l, = 1,18 g/ml.6.3 Nitric acid 65 %, c(HNO3) = 14,3 mol/l; approximately 1,4 g/ml.5BS EN 16964:2018EN 16964:2018 (E)7 Apparatus7.1 Common laboratory glassware.If the boron content is to be determined, it is necessary to minimize the contact of all solutions with borosilicate glassware.Suitable pl
29、astic or silica ware is needed especially for the extraction step. Glass volumetric flasks may be used for making up to volume but not for storage of extracts and solutions.7.2 Apparatus for thermal heating digestion, temperature controlled with reaction vessel and reflux condenser.The capacity of t
30、he reaction vessel shall be at least 5 times of the volume of the aqua regia used.7.3 Filter paper, ash free and of recognized and tested quality.8 Procedure8.1 GeneralCAUTION Suitable precautions shall be taken to avoid any contact of laboratory staff with acid fumes. It is recommended that the ext
31、raction procedure is carried out in a fume cupboard.8.2 Preparation of the test solutions8.2.1 Micro-nutrient content 10 %For samples with a micro-nutrient content of 10 % weigh (3 0,003) g of the prepared sample, transfer the sample quantitatively to the reaction vessel (7.2).8.2.2 Micro-nutrient c
32、ontent 10 %For samples with a micro-nutrient content of 10 % weigh (1 0,001) g of the prepared sample, transfer the sample quantitatively to the reaction vessel (7.2).8.3 ExtractionMoisten the test portion (8.2.1 or 8.2.2) with about 0,5 ml to 1,0 ml of water (6.1) and add, while mixing, 21 ml of hy
33、drochloric acid (6.2) followed by 7 ml of nitric acid (6.3) drop wise if necessary to reduce foaming. Connect a condenser to the reaction vessel and let the mixture stand at laboratory temperature until any effervescence almost ceases. Transfer to the heating device and slowly raise the temperature
34、of the reaction mixture to reflux conditions and maintain for 2 h ensuring that the condensation zone is lower than 1/3 of the height of the condenser. Then allow to cool and rinse the condenser with 10 ml of water (6.1).For samples with a micro-nutrient content of 10 % transfer quantitatively into
35、a 150 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with water. The test solution corresponds to a 50 times dilution of the sample.For samples with a micro-nutrient content of 10 % transfer quantitatively into a 500 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with water. The test solution corresponds to
36、 a 500 times dilution of the sample.Test solutions may be filtered or centrifuged if necessary. Use ash-free filter paper of recognized and tested quality (7.3) and discard the first portion of the filtrate (approximately 20 ml).6 BS EN 16964:2018EN 16964:2018 (E)Prepare a blank test solution follow
37、ing the same procedure as for samples.Carry out the measurement immediately or store the extracts in tightly closed plastic vessels for up to 15 d.If boron is not to be determined standard glassware may be used. Glass condensers may be used for all elements including boron. If only glassware is avai
38、lable it may be used for boron determination only if the concentration of boron in blank samples is negligible.Procedure using a test portion of (2 0,002) g: 14 ml of hydrochloric acid (6.2), 4,7 ml of nitric acid (6.3) and 100 ml volumetric flask may be used alternatively if 150 ml volumetric flask
39、s are not available.The amount of added aqua regia is sufficient for oxidation of about 0,5 g organic carbon. If there is more than 0,5 g of organic carbon add 1 ml of concentrated nitric acid (6.3) to every 0,1 g of organic carbon above 0,5 g, but not more than 10 ml of nitric acid.Addition of one
40、drop of octanol to the reaction vessel may be used as an antifoaming agent.Erlenmeyer flasks or high beakers covered with watch glasses may be used as an alternative for the extraction step if the laboratory proves that there were no loses of the elements to be determined.9 PrecisionThe precision of
