Procedure Pro
6、cedure A - Molvbdenum Disuhhide Present Only as Filler 1. Weigh out approx 5 g of grease into a tared 250 mL beaker. 2. Add 100 mL of trichlorobenzene and bring to a slow boil on a hot plate under a hood. Maintain slow boiling until grease (exclusive of Mo$ or other fillers) has completely dissolved
7、 3. Filter sample through a tared Seitz filter, maintaining the filter apparatus at approx 80 C or higher by means of a water jacket heater, or equivalent, around the filter. 4. Wash flask and filter several times with hot trichlorobenzene, followed by several washes with benzol. Remove filter pad
8、with MOS, and, if no other filler is present, &y in an oven at 105 +/- 2 C for 30 minutes. 5. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Evaluation Mos2 (%) - Gain in Weirrht x 100 Weight of Sample - .

9、 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Remove filter pad from crucible, place in a porcelain crucible and heat in a muffle furnace at 510 - 520 C for 2 h. This converts the black Mos2 to brownish yellow Moo3. Treat the contents of the crucible with hot 5 N NaOH solution to dissolve the Mo4 and filter through filter paper
10、 into a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Wash filter with hot NaOH and hot water. Dilute to 100 mL with distilled water, heat to boiling and treat with H2S for 10 minutes. Add dilute H2S04 (1-1) until acid and then 4 mL in excess per 100 mL of solution. Gas with H2S for 5 minutes and digest on a water bath
11、until the precipitate settles. Filter through a tared Gooch crucible that has been prepared with fine asbestos and heated to 520 C for 1 h and cooled in a desiccator. Wash the precipitate on the filter several times with dilute H2SO4 (1-99) and finally with alcohol until free from acid. Place the Go
