For this purpose 8.0 g of cellulose nitrate per 100 mL of solvent plusdiluent has been adopted.4. Significance and Use4.1 By use of standard or refer

18、.6. Hazards6.1 Soluble cellulose nitrate is a flammable material, thedegree of flammability varying with the extent and nature ofthe wetting medium. Cellulose nitrate is always wet with wateror alcohol in commercial handling, shipping, and storage, inwhich condition it presents no unusual hazard. Dr

19、y cellulosenitrate, if ignited by fire, spark, or static electricity, burns veryrapidly. Do not store samples of dry cellulose nitrate at anytime. Dry only that portion required for immediate test. Wear aface shield when the oven is opened after samples have beenheated. Wet excess material and the s

20、amples left after testingwith water and dispose of properly.7. Drying Cellulose Nitrate7.1 Dry not more than 20 g of cellulose nitrate at a time byspreading in a thin layer on a tray at room temperature for 12to 16 h, or on top of a 100C oven where the temperature is 35to 40C for about8h(Warning, se

21、e 6.1). Alternatively, use asteam or hot water-heated oven maintained at 45 to 50C to dryspecimens in about 8 h. For safety reasons, the oven shouldhave the latch removed.7.2 Another simple way to dry small quantities of cellulosenitrate is to use a drier assembled from common laboratoryapparatus. T

22、he assembled drier is shown in Fig. 1. Hot air froma laboratory electric oven is drawn through wet cellulosenitrate contained in a brass tube hooked up through a thistletube, or small funnel, and suction flask to a water aspirator orother vacuum source. The brass pipe should be about 40 mm indiamete

23、r and 200 mm long, these relative dimensions havingbeen found to give efficient results. Such a tube will hold about25 g, dry weight, of wet cellulose nitrate. The pipe is insulatedto conserve heat. The suction flask end of the brass tube is fittedwith a thistle tube, or a small funnel, over the mou

24、th of whichis tied a silk cloth screen. An indentation made in the funneledge allows insertion of the thermometer. The funnel andthermometer are held in place by means of a rubber stopper.When using an oven temperature of 85C and vacuum suppliedby a water aspirator or other vacuum source, the alcoho

25、l-wetcellulose nitrate will be dried in about 4 h.7.3 If larger quantities of cellulose nitrate are required, thedrying equipment described in the Procedure section of DryingSamples of Test Methods D301 may be used.8. Preparation of Solution8.1 When testing either a solvent or diluent, first estimat

26、ethe probable dilution ratio for the unknown component inrelation to the other to determine the amount of solventrequired to dissolve the cellulose nitrate (Table 1). This volumeof solvent should be such that there will be approximately 10g of cellulose nitrate present per 100 mL of solvent plus dil

27、uentat the end point.NOTE 3Reference to published data on similar types of solvents ordiluents will provide a good approximation of the amount of solventrequired. If data are not available, several solutions with varying amountsof solvents may be required to arrive at a suitable volume to use.8.2 On

28、 an analytical balance, weigh 5 6 0.01 g of thecellulose nitrate into a 125-mL cork-stoppered, preweighedErlenmeyer flask, or other suitable container. From a buret addthe volume of solvent indicated in Table 1. Swirl the flask untilthe cellulose nitrate is completely dissolved. When a highconcentra

29、tion of cellulose nitrate in solvent is required, disper-sion may be more quickly accomplished by adding a measuredportion of the diluent to the flask. This reduces the solidsconcentration and thus lowers the viscosity of the solution,making it easier to dissolve the cellulose nitrate.9. Procedure9.

30、1 Add the diluent, maintained at 25 6 3.0C, to the flaskfrom a buret in small additions. Five-millilitre increments maybe added at first, but these shall be decreased to about 0.5 mLas the end point is approached. After each addition, stopper theflask and swirl vigorously to disperse any gel or prec

31、ipitatethrown down by local overconcentration of diluent (Note 4).When precipitation persists after at least 2 min of vigorousswirling, the initial end point has been reached, as indicated bythe presence of gel particles in the solution or on the sides ofthe flask (Note 5). Determine the total volum

32、e of diluent addedto the flask at this point.NOTE 4Take care to prevent loss of volatile components by evapo-ration. Avoid contact of the solution with the stopper.NOTE 5Presence of a uniform fine haze that is usually formed whenaliphatic hydrocarbons are used as diluents must not be confused with t

33、hegel end point.FIG. 1 Assembled DrierD1720 03 (2012)29.2 Determine a second end point using the same solution.This requires addition of solvent to redissolve the cellulosenitrate. The amount of solvent to add depends upon the amountof diluent used in the initial titration. The volume of solvent tob

34、e added is obtained directly from Fig. 2 and the volume ofdiluent used to reach the initial end point.9.3 After addition of the required volume of solvent, swirlthe flask to redisperse the cellulose nitrate. Then, continue thetitration with diluent to the second end point, at which pointthere should

35、 be approximately8gofcellulose nitrate presentper 100 mL of solvent plus diluent.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the dilution ratio and cellulose nitrate con-centration at both the initial and the second end points asfollows:Dilution ratio 5 A/B (1)Cellulose nitrate concentration per 100 mL of volatil

36、e matter5C/A1B!where:A = diluent for the titration, mL,B = solvent used, mL, andC = cellulose nitrate used, g.10.2 Construct a graph for dilution ratio versus cellulosenitrate concentration. Plot as two points on the graph (Fig. 3)the two sets of values calculated as described in 10.1. One ofthe poi

37、nts will be very close to 8 g/100 mL of volatile matter.The correct value at exactly 8 g/100 mL of volatile matter maybe interpolated by drawing a straight line connecting the twoexperimentally determined points. While the curve showingthe relationship between the dilution ratio and cellulose nitrat

38、econcentration is not necessarily a straight line, the error madeby interpolating or extrapolating from the straight line connect-ing the two points is negligible in the proximity of 8 6 1 g/100mL of volatile matter.NOTE 6Example: Assuming a probable dilution ratio of approxi-mately 3, the following
