1、Designation: D 6716 06Standard Test Method forTotal Ash in Wet Blue1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6716; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indi

2、cates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of total ash inwet blue.1.2 Total ash in wet blue may be reported upon a number ofdifferent bases (for example, fat-fr

3、ee, moisture-free, as re-ceived, excluding chromium, and so forth). Before proceedingwith any tests, it is very important to determine upon whichbasis that the total ash is to be reported and to identify all othertest methods that will be required to be executed in order toachieve the determined rep

4、orting method.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 The terms and definitions employed within this testmethod are commonly used in normal laboratory practice andrequire no special comment.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The weighed sample is ignited in air at 600 6 25C untilconstant

7、 mass is attained. The weighed residual matter istermed “ash” and is calculated as a percentage of the originalsample.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful in determining the approxi-mate amount of nonvolatile inorganic material in wet blue.This may be in the form of salts or oxides

8、of the elements. Ina mixed-chrome tannage, the approximate percentage of otherelements in the wet blue may be determined by subtracting thechromic oxide that may be conveniently determined on the ash.(See Test Method D 6714.)5.2 The specified temperature of 600C is high enough toproduce a reproducib

9、le result but it does not completelydehydrate such oxides as aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and chromicoxide (Cr2O3). Likewise, such salts as sulfates and phosphatesmay be incompletely dehydrated, and if alkalis and chromiumare present simultaneously, oxidation to chromate may occur.Therefore, caution is ad

14、Typically, wet blue is a combination of organic hide substancein conjunction with inorganic chromium tanning salts. However, undersome circumstances, silicones or other solvent-soluble organo-metalliccomplexes (including electrolyte-stable fat liquors) are added duringmanufacture and may be present

15、within the sample. It may be desirable tocalculate ash upon an extracted (fat free) basis, and if so, this should beindicated within the final report. To report ash upon an extracted basis, itwill be necessary to execute Test Method D 3495 on a portion of the samesample and weighed out at the same t

16、ime as the specimen for total ashdetermination.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh accurately into a tared crucible 2 to 10 g (60.001g) of wet blue, prepared as described in 7.1, and preferably atsufficiently close equilibrium with the laboratory humidity thatit does not gain or lose mass (moisture) at a signific

17、ant rate.8.2 Place the crucible and sample in the muffle furnace andmaintain at 600 6 25C for at least 4 h, or longer if necessary,to destroy carbonaceous matter (Note 2).8.3 To prevent any loss of ash, very carefully remove thecrucible from the furnace, cool in a desiccator, and weigh(Note 3). Ensu

18、re that the transfer of the crucible from oven todessicator is smooth and that there are no external air draughtsthat could cause loss of ash.8.4 Replace in the furnace and maintain at 600 6 25C foranother 15 min.8.5 Repeat the weighing operation.8.6 Continue heating for 15 min and weighing as descr

19、ibedabove until a mass constant within 0.002 g (2 mg) is obtained.8.7 Record the final weight.NOTE 2The procedure in Section 8 is satisfactory with most wet blue.However, with wet blue that is known or suspected to have a very highgrease content or has been heavily treated with fats and oils duringp

20、rocessing, start with a cold muffle and raise temperature gradually to600C, or burn off the oil carefully over a gas burner before placing thecrucible in the hot furnace.NOTE 3If it is difficult to burn off the carbon, as evidenced byinspection or failure to achieve constant mass, moisten the ash wi

21、th a fewdrops of 1:1 nitric acid, dry carefully over a low flame, and then transferto the muffle furnace and heat as before. If this procedure is unsuccessful,digest the ash in the crucible with 15 to 20 mL of hot water for a fewminutes, and filter the suspension through an ashless high-retention fi

22、lterpaper. Transfer the paper and insoluble residue to the crucible and igniteat 600 6 25C as described above. Cool, add the filtrate to the crucible,evaporate carefully to dryness, then ignite at 600 6 25C to constant massas described previously.9. Calculation9.1 Calculate the percentage of ash in

23、the wet blue weighedas follows:Ash, % 5 A B! 4 C B!# 3 100where:A = weight of the ash and crucible,B = weight of the crucible, andC = weight of the sample and crucible.9.2 If it is desired to convert the percentage obtained aboveto the dry basis, perform a moisture determination (TestMethod D 6658)

24、on a portion of the same sample weighedunder the same conditions as in Section 8. If the percentagemoisture found is D, then calculate the percentage of ash on adry basis as follows:Ash, dry basis, % 5 A B! 4 C B!# 3 100/1D/100!#where A, B, and C have the same meaning as in 9.1.10. Precision and Bia

25、s10.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method is largelylimited by the homogeneity of the sample in a complex naturalmaterial such as wet blue.10.2 RepeatabilityAt the 95 % confidence level, duplicatedeterminations by the same operator should not differ by morethan 0.14 % ash.10.3 Reproducibility

26、At the 95 % confidence level, theaverage of duplicate determinations in each of two laboratoriesby different operators should not differ by more than 0.20 %ash.10.4 BiasInasmuch as all wet blue contains an unknownamount of natural or inherent ash, no meaningful statement canbe made with respect to b
