6、ardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right
7、to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures u

41、in this International Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in ISO 14820-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 14820-2. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the solution According to Table 1, Table 2 or Table 3, depending on the variant chosen, weigh to the nearest 0
42、,001 g a quantity of 5 g, 7 g, or 10 g of the prepared sample and transfer it into a 500 ml flask. Add 50 ml of water and then 20 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.2). Shake. Leave undisturbed until the evolution of carbon dioxide has ceased. Add 200 ml of water and shake for half an hour with the rotary s
43、haker (6.4). Pass the solution through a filter into a 500 ml graduated flask and make up to the volume with water. 8.2 Analysis of the solution According to the variant chosen, place in the receiving flask a measured quantity of standard sulfuric acid as indicated in Table 1, Table 2 or Table 3. Ad
44、d the appropriate quantity of the chosen indicator solution (5.10.1 or 5.10.2) and, if necessary, water in order to obtain a volume of at least 50 ml. The end of the extension tube of the condenser shall be below the surface of the solution. Transfer by precision pipette, according to the details gi
45、ven in Table 1, an aliquot portion of the clear solution, into the distillation flask of the apparatus. Add water in order to obtain a total volume of about 350 ml and several grains of pumice in order to control the boiling. Assemble the distillation apparatus and, taking care to avoid any loss of
46、ammonia, add to the contents of the distillation flask 10 ml of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (5.9), or 20 ml of the sodium hydroxide solution (5.9) in the cases where one has used 20 ml hydrochloric acid (5.2), in order to dissolve the test sample. Gradually warm the flask; avoid boiling v
47、igorously. When boiling commences, distil at a rate of about 100 ml in 10 min to 15 min; the total volume of distillate should be about 250 ml. The condenser shall be regulated so that a continuous flow of condensate is ensured. The distillation should be completed in 30 min to 40 min. When no more
48、ammonia is likely to be evolved, lower the receiving flask so that the tip of the condenser extension is above the surface of the liquid. Test the subsequent distillate by means of an appropriate reagent to ensure that all the ammonia is completely distilled. Wash the condenser extension with a litt
49、le water and titrate the surplus acid with the standard solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide prescribed for the variant adopted. Standard solutions of different strengths may be used for the back titration provided that the volumes used for the titration do not, as far as possible, exceed 40 ml to 45 ml.
