Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that allreagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reage

20、nts of the American Chemical Society, wheresuch specifications are available.5 Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently highpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.5.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated

21、, references to water shall be understood to mean Type II or Type III reagentwater conforming to Specification D1193.6. Hazards6.1 Sodium and potassium hydroxides are caustic alkalies which, in their anhydrous or strong solution form, are hazardousmaterials. In contact with the skin they produce bur

22、ns which may be quite serious unless promptly treated. Their action is insidioussince they produce no immediate stinging or burning sensation and damage may result before their presence is realized.6.2 Eyes are particularly vulnerable to severe damage from these alkalies.6.3 Laboratory workers handl

23、ing these alkalies should use safety goggles or face shields and rubber gloves and avoid spillageon clothing. These materials rapidly attack wool and leather.6.4 Spilled caustic should be flushed away with water where possible, or covered with absorbent material (such as sawdust,vermiculite, or baki

24、ng soda) and swept up and discarded in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local health andenvironmental regulations. Last traces may be neutralized with dilute acetic acid and the area washed with water.6.5 Perchloric acid is toxic, corrosive, and a strong oxidizer. Laboratory worker

25、s handling this acid should use safety gogglesor face shields and rubber gloves.7. Sampling7.1 GeneralThe nature of the caustic alkalies is such as to require special care at all points of sampling and preparation foranalysis. The following information is included in order that representative sample

26、s may be ensured. Additional precautions maybe necessary if trace constituents, not covered in these test methods, are to be determined. Instructions for such procedures maybe obtained from the publications of most major producers. Sampling techniques must be such as to limit or prevent atmospherice

27、xposure since sodium and potassium hydroxides, both as aqueous solutions and as anhydrous products, rapidly absorb moisture2 For referencedASTM standards, visit theASTM website, www.astm.org, or contactASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

The aqueous solutions are corrosive and sampling devices andsample containers must be selected to avoid contamination with any constituent

31、later to be determined. Strong aqueous solutionsof these alkalies are available commercially under the names liquid caustic soda and liquid caustic potash. Liquid caustic potashat a concentration of 45 % remains liquid at temperatures down to 29C, and freezing or crystallization will only be encount

32、eredunder severe cold weather. Caustic soda liquors are usually shipped in insulated tank cars at elevated temperatures, and minimumtemperatures must be maintained if unloading and sampling problems are to be avoided. Viscosity increases near the freezing pointand creates pumping problems. Even part

33、ial freezing changes the composition of the remaining liquor and causes sampling andanalysis problems. Be sure contents are completely liquid and well mixed before sampling. The following minimum temperaturesshould be maintained for proper sampling of bulk shipments:50 % NaOH liquor 20C53 % NaOH liq

34、uor 30C70 to 73 % NaOH liquor 71C7.2 Sample ContainersThe choice of container construction material is important for caustic liquor samples, especially forthose to be taken or held at elevated temperatures. Glass can be used except where silica is to be determined. Polyethylene orpolypropylene conta

35、iners which have high-temperature properties may also be used. Nickel is the best practical metal for a metallicsample container for caustic liquors. For the analysis of 73 % caustic soda, the entire sample should be in the liquid state beforeremoving any portion, and such portions must then be used

36、 in their entirety to avoid the factor of segregation on freezing. Causticsoda of 73 % concentration may also be “cast” into glass or plastic bottles or tubes, or nickel or silver metallic molds. The moldsare later removed and the samples chipped or crushed for analysis. If this is done, the factors

37、 of segregation on freezing andatmospheric exposure while crushing must be borne in mind.7.3 Sampling Devices and Techniques:7.3.1 Liquid CausticSimple “dipper” or “tap” samples from large quantity shipments or tanks of caustic liquor are inadequatefor purchaser and vendor purposes. Numerous special

38、ly designed devices are available to procure samples from various levels intanks. A useful type of such samplers for small tanks has three or five containers mounted on a single rod so that when the deviceis lowered into a tank and the stoppers are pulled, samples are simultaneously taken at the dif

39、ferent levels. These are then combinedto provide a representative average sample. Shipments should be sampled at least at the upper, middle, and lower thirds. Samplesshould never be taken at the surface of the liquid. If it is not necessary to analyze the liquor before unloading, sampling may beacco

40、mplished by a “continuous drip” from a small tap-off with the regulating valve in a vertical section of the unloading line. The“drip” is so timed as to collect the desired amount of sample uniformly during the time of unloading.7.3.2 Anhydrous Products:7.3.2.1 Commercial anhydrous caustic soda or ca

41、ustic potash is packaged in drums in solid, flake, ground, or powdered forms.Sampling and handling of these materials must be done with minimum atmospheric exposure.7.3.2.2 In the case of flake, ground, or powdered sodium or potassium hydroxides, the top 75 or 100 mm of material in a drumshould firs

42、t be removed and a sample then taken from the center part of the drum. The sample should be placed immediately ina suitable wide-mouth container then closed and sealed with taps or wax.7.3.2.3 Solid caustic shall be packaged by filling metal drums with molten anhydrous product and allowing drums and

43、 contentsto cool before sealing air tight. On cooling and solidifying, impurities present in the caustic tend to segregate and concentrate inthe bottom section. To sample such material properly, the metal drum must be opened at the vertical seam and removed. The solidcake may then be sampled either

44、by drilling at representative levels with a 19-mm auger bit (may cause metal contamination) orby splitting the cake in half vertically with hammer and chisel and chiseling off representative small fragments so that the totalsample represents a vertical cross section through the cake. In either case,

45、 the sample shall be promptly bottled and sealed in awide-mouth container. In the laboratory, the lumps shall be reduced to convenient size by enclosing in several thicknesses of cleancloth or kraft paper and pounding with a hammer. The crushed material shall be bottled and thoroughly mixed before a
