United States16.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean Type IV reagent water orbetter, as defined in Specification D1193.6.3 Mercurous Nitrate Solution

18、The solution shall be anaqueous mercurous nitrate solution containing 10 g of mercu-rous nitrate solution (HgNO3) and 10 mLof nitric acid (HNO3)(sp gr 1.42) per litre of solution.6.4 PreparationThe aqueous mercurous nitrate solutionshall be prepared by either of the following procedures,Aor B.Used s

19、olutions may be replenished as described in 6.5.6.4.1 Procedure ADissolve 11.4 g of HgNO32H2Oor10.7 g of HgNO3H2O in approximately 40 mL of distilledwater acidified with 10 mL of HNO3(sp gr 1.42). After thecrystals are completely dissolved, dilute the solution withwater to 1000 mL. (WarningThe mercu

20、rous nitrate crystalsare obtainable in both the monohydrate and dihydrate form andshould be handled with caution because of their highly toxiceffects.) (WarningWhen weighing crystals, the weight ofthe water of crystallization should be taken into consideration.The mercurous nitrate crystals are phot

21、osensitive and whenthey have turned yellow are difficult to dissolve.) (WarningCare should be exercised when handling and mixing chemi-cals. Qualified personnel using appropriate chemical-laboratory techniques should only do the handling and mixing.)6.4.2 Procedure BDissolve 76 g of mercury in 114 m

22、L ofdiluted HNO3(1 part water to 1 part HNO3) (sp gr 1.42).Carefully dilute with distilled water to 1000 mL. This providesa concentration of 100 g of HgNO3after a slight loss due toheating. Add the water in small portions while stirring toprevent local overdilution. This gradual dilution, together w

23、iththe excess acid, will prevent precipitation of basic salts ofmercury. Dilute 100 mL of this solution (10 %) with 7 mL ofHNO3(sp gr 1.42) and 893 mL of water. (WarningMercuryis a definite health hazard and therefore equipment for thedetection and removal of mercury vapor produced in volatil-izatio

24、n is recommended. The use of rubber gloves in testing isadvisable.)6.5 Replenishment of SolutionThe spent solution may bereclaimed by replenishing the mercurous nitrate solution, to a1 volume percent concentration, as follows:6.5.1 Measure 50 mL of the spent HgNO3solution in agraduated cylinder.6.5.

25、2 Transfer to an Erlenmeyer flask, and add 10 mL ofHNO3(1 + 1).6.5.3 Add slowly 1 % weight per volume potassium per-manganate (KMnO4) solution from a buret with a constantshaking until there is an excess as indicated by the pink color,which persists for several minutes.6.5.4 Add iron (II) sulfate (F

26、eSO4) crystals until thesolution, when shaken, becomes clear. Then titrate the solutionwith 0.1 N potassium thiocyanate (KCNS) solution to theappearance of a reddish brown color. Repeat this procedurewith 50 mL of a standard 1 % weight per volume of HgNO3solution.6.5.5 The ratio, R, of the number of

27、 millilitres of KCNSsolution required to titrate the spent solution, to the number ofmillilitres required to titrate the standard solution, determinesthe number of millilitres, X, of 10 volume percent HgNO3in 3volume percent HNO3solution required to replenish 1 L ofspent solution. Values of R and X

28、for a litre volume are givenin Table 1.7. Hazards7.1 WarningMercury is a definite health hazard in useand disposal.7.2 Suggested Mercurous Nitrate Disposal:7.2.1 To mercurous nitrate solutions add sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to pH 10 to 11.7.2.2 Filter precipitated mercury and other heavy metals.7.2.3 Th

29、ough the filtrate is low in free mercurous ormercuric ions, it must be further treated before disposal.7.2.4 To each litre of filtrate, add two drops (0.1 cm3)of24volume percent ammonium sulfide (NH4)2S.7.2.5 After the second filtering, the filtrate may be dis-carded.NOTE 4If heating is used in eith

30、er of the previous procedures, thecontainer should be covered with a watch glass to prevent loss of HNO3and water to the atmosphere. After solution is complete, use a smallvolume of retained dilution water to rinse the watch glass into thecontainer.7.2.5.1 Monitor the filtrate to assure it meets app

31、ropriatehealth safety standards, or is disposed of properly.TABLE 1 Replenishment of Spent Mercurous Nitrate Solution to1 % ConcentrationNOTE 1X = 111.1 (1 R)where:R = fraction of mercury remaining in solution (determined by titration),andX = number of millilitres of 10 volume percent mercurous nitr
