22、stable andrepresentative of the samples of interest. These QC samplescan be used to check the validity of the testing process asdescribed in Section 10.7. Sampling7.1 Take the sample in accordance with the instructions inPractice D 4057.7.2 Ensure that the sample is thoroughly representative ofthe m

23、aterial to be tested and that the portion of the sample usedfor test is thoroughly representative of the whole sample.8. Procedure8.1 Transfer 1.0 to 1.5 g of sample, weighed to the nearest0.1 mg, into a Kjeldahl flask. Avoid contact of the sample withthe neck of the Kjeldahl flask.Add the catalyst

24、reagent mixtureto the Kjeldahl flask. Add two or three beads to preventbumping.8.2 Wash down the neck of the Kjeldahl flask with 20 mL ofH2SO4(rel dens 1.84). Swirl the contents of the Kjeldahl flaskto facilitate the mixing of the sample, catalyst reagent, andH2SO4.8.3 Warm the contents of the Kjeld

25、ahl flask on the digestionrack and repeat the swirling. Apply low heat until the frothinghas stopped. Samples that do not froth or char shall besubjected to a 20-min low-heating period. Careful periodicswirling of the solution in the Kjeldahl flask shall also be made.Gradually apply intermediate hea

26、t to raise the temperature ofthe solution to boiling.8.4 Maintain a minimum volume of 15 mL of liquid in theKjeldahl flask during the digestion period.Add volumes of 5 to15 mL of H2SO4(rel dens 1.84) when the volume does notconform to this condition. Use the H2SO4to wash down theneck of the Kjeldahl

27、 flask after the contents have been allowedto cool sufficiently so that sulfur trioxide (SO3) fumes havesubsided. The volume of H2SO4(rel dens 1.84) added willdepend upon the carbonaceous material in the Kjeldahl flask.After all of the carbonaceous material has been digested andthe solution has clea

28、red, continue the digestion for two morehours at rapid rate of boiling. The total volume of liquidremaining in the Kjeldahl flask after digestion approximatesthe volume in the Kjeldahl flask for the blank.NOTE 4For some samples, a two hour digestion period may beunnecessary, if the solution has comp

29、letely cleared.8.5 Turn off the heat, but allow the Kjeldahl flask to remainin the fume duct or hood until the evolution of SO3fumes hassubsided. Remove the Kjeldahl flask from the rack and cool toapproximately room temperature.8.6 Place a 300-mL receiving flask containing 25 mL ofH3BO3solution and

30、5 drops of methyl purple indicator solutionunder the condenser with the delivery tube tip extending to thebottom of the receiving flask.8.7 Measure approximately 275 mL of water and add aportion of this water to the Kjeldahl flask and swirl the contents3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society S

35、eldahl flaskto facilitate solution of the salt cake.8.8 Add 25 mL of Na2S solution to the cooled contents ofthe Kjeldahl flask, to precipitate the mercury, and swirl to mix.(WarningIn addition to other precautions, when the Na2Ssolution is added to the cooled digestion flask, considerablehydrogen su

36、lfide is evolved. Therefore, conduct 8.8 and 8.9 ina hood with a suitable draft.) (WarningIn addition to otherprecautions, care must be exercised in the disposal of themercuric sulfide. Laboratories processing large volumes ofKjeldahl nitrogen determinations should consider the use of arecovery trap

37、 for mercury.)8.9 Place the Kjeldahl flask in a slurry of ice and water. Coolthe contents in the Kjeldahl flask to approximately 40F(4.5C). Slowly add 75 mL of NaOH solution (1000 g/L) downthe inclined neck of the Kjeldahl flask, without agitation, toform two layers.8.9.1 Carefully remove the Kjelda

38、hl flask from the ice bathso that mixing of the layers does not occur. Carefully place theKjeldahl flask on the Kjeldahl distillation rack.8.9.2 Immediately connect the Kjeldahl flask to the distilla-tion apparatus and mix the contents of the Kjeldahl flaskthoroughly by swirling. The digestion flask

39、 must be connectedto the distillation apparatus immediately after the alkali hasbeen added and layered, but before swirling to mix the acid andalkali. When any mixing is permitted to occur before thedigestion flask is connected, the heat generated can be suffi-cient to release some of the ammonia wh

40、ich can be lost. Thisloss results in low recovery of ammonia, and thus low valuesfor the nitrogen content of the sample.8.10 Promptly apply full heat to the digestion flask. Reducethe heat just before the solution begins to boil and maintain atlow boiling for 5 min. Heat must be applied promptly top

41、revent sucking of the H3BO3solution into the condenser asthe digestion solution cools. The initial distillation rate mustnot be too rapid because most of the ammonia is distilledduring the first few minutes, and if too large an amount ispresent it can not all be absorbed in the H3BO3solution.Increas

42、e the heat to rapid boiling, until the volume in thereceiving flask reaches a volume of approximately 130 mL.8.11 Lower the receiving flask to expose the condenserdelivery tube tip. Rinse the tip with water. After approximately1 min of additional distillation, turn off the heat and allow thecondense

43、r to drain.NOTE 6The total volume in the receiving flask is approximately 150mL. For convenience the receiving flask can be marked at the 130 and150-mL volume points.NOTE 7Commercially available digestiondistillation apparatus maybe used as long as the same chemical reactions occurring in Section 8

44、aremaintained. In such cases, follow the manufacturers instructions for thedetails of digestion and distillation sequences.8.12 Titrate the contents in the receiving flask with standardH2SO4(0.005 M) to an end point where the gray color of thesolution just disappears and only the purple color remain

45、s. Ifthe titration exceeds 50 mL, continue the titration with standardH2SO4(0.05 M). Read the volume of the standard acid to thenearest 0.05 mL.NOTE 8Commercially available automated colorimetric titrators maybe used instead of the manual titration described in 8.12.8.13 Determine a blank with every

46、 set of samples, identicalin every way with the regular determinations, except 1.0 g ofsucrose is added in place of the sample. The initial volume of20 mL of H2SO4(rel dens 1.84) is all that is used for thedigestion of the sucrose.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the nitrogen content of the sample as fol
