Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method is a modification o

6、f the well-knownKjeldahl procedure. In this test method, compounds that yieldtheir nitrogen as ammonia are digested with concentratedsulfuric acid, using sodium sulfate to raise the boiling point,and mercuric oxide as a catalyst. The organic matter isdestroyed and the nitrogen is fixed as ammonium s

7、ulfate in theexcess acid.4. Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this test method is to determine theamount of organic nitrogen present within a sample of electri-cal insulation paper or paperboard. Nitrogen content is used todetermine if the paper or paperboard has been chemicallytreated to withs

8、tand higher than normal operating tempera-tures. Such a paper or paperboard is referred to in the industryas “thermally upgraded.” A paper or paperboard that is ther-mally upgraded can withstand higher operating temperaturesand allow the electrical equipment to have a longer useful lifespan.5. Appar

9、atus5.1 Kjeldahl Apparatus, with 500 or 800-mL flask and adigestion rack, an efficient bulb or scrubber type of trap toensure that no nonvolatile alkali is carried over, the trap beingconnected to the flask with a rubber stopper and to thewater-cooled condenser following, with rubber tubing. Thecond

10、enser tube shall be made of alkali-resistant glass or blocktin with the discharge end connected to a bent glass deliverytube, the lower end of which is drawn out to a bore of about 3mm.5.2 Other Apparatus500-mL Erlenmeyer flask, 100-mLgraduated cylinder, 50-mLburet, and mossy zinc or glass beadsfor

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specif

12、ications are available.4Other grades are alsoacceptable, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D09 onElectrical and Electronic

18、d and Indicator SolutionDissolve 43 g ofboric acid (H3BO3) (free from borax), 6 mL of methyl redindicator, and 4 mL of methylene blue indicator, each 0.1 g in100 mL of 95 % ethyl alcohol, per litre of freshly distilledwater. Keep the solution in a borosilicate glass bottle. It isstable for at least

19、6 months.NOTE 1An alternative indicator mixture preferred by some for theboric acid solution is 2 mL of methyl red and 10 mL of bromcresol green,each 0.1 percent solution, in a 95 % ethanol (1)5.6.4 Mercuric Oxide, HgO.6.5 Sodium Hydroxide Solution (approximately 50 weightpercent)Dissolve 1030 g of

21、1 N)Prepare a 0.1N solution of H2SO4and standardize.NOTE 2The substitution of a 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutionis satisfactory.7. Sampling7.1 Obtain the sample to be tested in accordance withPractice D585.8. Test Specimen8.1 From the sample of the paper or paperboard, weigh, tothe nearest 5 m

22、g, a 2-g specimen consisting of small strips orpieces about 1 cm2.At the same time, weigh a specimen for thedetermination of moisture in accordance with Test MethodD644.9. Procedure9.1 Transfer the test specimen to the Kjeldahl flask and add10gofNa2SO4, 0.7 g of HgO, and 25 mL of H2SO4(sp gr1.84). I

23、t is convenient to premix the Na2SO4and the HgO.Agitate gently until all the specimen is wet by the acid. Supportthe flask in an inclined position in a well-ventilated hood andheat the contents with a small flame or electric heater, takingcare not to apply heat to the flask above the liquid level. A

24、nasbestos-cement board with a hole cut to the proper diameterfor the flask is suggested.At first the mixture will froth and turnblack. Heat cautiously until frothing has ceased; then increasethe heat until the mixture boils gently. The black colorgradually fades through brown to a colorless or almos

25、t color-less solution. Continue heating for about 1 h after the solutionbecomes colorless.NOTE 3To minimize the inevitable acid condensation in the hood withthis procedure, remove most of the acid fumes through a glass tubeconnected to a water aspirator.9.2 Allow the solution to cool. It usually wil

26、l solidify uponcooling to room temperature. When the solution starts tosolidify or has cooled to room temperature, cautiously addabout 300 mL of water and 25 mL of the Na2SO4solution toprecipitate the mercury. Allow to stand 5 to 10 min withoccasional shaking.NOTE 4It has been reported that mercury

27、sometimes volatilizes andamalgamates with tin condenser tubes commonly used in the Kjeldahlapparatus. If the solution is allowed to stand a few minutes after theaddition of the Na2SO4solution, volatilization of the mercury is likely tobe negligible (2)9.3 Add 50 mL of the boric acid and indicator so

28、lution to a500-mL Erlenmeyer flask, connect the glass delivery tube tothe discharge end of the condenser, and adjust the assembly sothe tube barely dips beneath the surface of the acid.9.4 Add the anti-bumping material to the flask, be sure thebulb trap is properly connected to the condenser, and qu

29、icklyand carefully pour 55 mL of cold NaOH solution down the sideof the flask so that it will not mix at once with the acid norsubsequently lubricate the rubber stopper. (WarningCoolthe acid solution to or below room temperature before addingthe NaOH solution. The addition of an ice cube, frozen fro

30、mdistilled water, to each flask in place of part of the 300 mL ofwater, is a convenient method of cooling.)9.5 Immediately connect the flask to the bulb trap, forcingthe rubber stopper on the bulb trap tightly into the neck of theflask. Swirl the flask slowly and then more rapidly in order tomix the

31、 acid with the alkali. Start heating the flask immediatelyand distill about 150 mL into the receiver. Keep the tempera-ture of the receiver below 40 C during the distillation.NOTE 5Fifty millilitres of the boric acid and indication solution willabsorb about 95 mg of nitrogen as ammonia (2). Twenty-f

32、ive millilitreswould be sufficient to contain the nitrogen in a 2-g specimen of mostpapers.9.6 Disconnect the delivery tube from the end of thecondenser and remove the heat from the flask. Do not removethe heat before disconnecting the delivery tube because other-wise it is possible that some of the

33、 boric acid will be suckedback. Rinse the delivery tube into the flask, dilute the contentsof the flask to about 250 mL, and titrate to a pink end point (pHabout 4.9) with the 0.1 N acid. During the titration, the colorchanges from green to gray to pink, the intensity of the pinkincreasing to red wi

34、th further addition of acid.9.7 Make a blank determination, carrying through the entireprocedure using1gofsucrose or dextrose in place of the paperspecimen.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the nitrogen content of the specimen asfollows:Nitrogen, percent 5 VN 30.014!/W# 3100 (1)where:V = millilitres of

37、rmation)X1. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONX1.1 A large number of determinations or a limited samplemakes the Hengar method more attractive in some cases, butthe results are not reported as complying with Test MethodD982 in which mercuric oxide is the preferred catalyst. Themethod, proposed by Henwood and Ga

38、rey (3), has been furtherperfected by the Hengar Co. of Philadelphia, Pa., who haveprovided special apparatus for it. This modification requiresonly about 0.1 g of sample; uses 0.02 N acid and alkali, andemploys “selenized granules” as a catalyst. It is claimed thatthe Hengar method, using special a

39、pparatus, requires onlyabout 10 min digestion with H2SO4. However, each operatordetermines the minimum time of digestion necessary forcomplete oxidation under the conditions he employs.X1.2 Nitrates, nitro compounds, and so forth, would beexpected to occur so infrequently in papers that no provision

40、 ismade here for their determination. Information on their esti-mation is given in the literature (4).REFERENCES(1) Perrin, C.
