Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of anionicimpurities in 50 % causti

3、c soda (sodium hydroxide) and 50 %caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) solutions using ionchromatography (IC). Anions that can be determined at con-centrations of approximately 0.11000 ug/g (ppm) include:bromide, chlorate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phosphate, andsulfate.1.2 By varying the sample

4、size, this test method can be usedfor anhydrous caustic soda and caustic potash products, as wellas other concentrations of liquid products.1.3 This test method is not intended to be used to quantifychloride in caustic soda where the sodium chloride concentra-tion is approximately 1 %. For the most

5、accurate determina-tions, it is recommended that high concentrations of chloridebe analyzed using a potentiometric titration procedure, such asthe one described in Test Methods E 291.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.

Summary of Test Method3.1 Bromide, chlorate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, phos

9、phateand sulfate are measured in NaOH or KOH by ion chromatog-raphy. The sample solution is diluted and injected onto asample loop of an automated neutralization module. Thesample in the loop is pumped to a suppression device whichuses electrolysis to neutralize the hydroxide ions. The samplethen is

10、 circulated through this device several times until it iscompletely neutralized. Anionic constituents of the neutralizedsample are concentrated on an anion concentrator column.After the concentration they are separated into individualelution bands in the eluent on a separator column. Theconductivity

11、 of the eluent is reduced with an anion suppressiondevice, and the anions of interest are detected using a conduc-tivity detector. Quantitation of the anions in the samplesolution is achieved by calibrating the IC with a series ofstandards containing known amounts of the anions. Thesestandards are a

12、lso passed through the neutralization device.4. Significance and Use4.1 Anion impurities in caustic soda and caustic potash aremonitored by manufacturers and users for quality control of theproducts.Anions of primary interest are chloride, chlorate, andsulfate. This test method has determined precis

13、ion estimatesonly for these three impurities.5. Interferences5.1 Substances that coelute with the anions of interest willinterfere. A high concentration of one anion can interfere withaccurate quantitation of another anion if their retention timesare close and resolution is affected. For example, ca

14、ustic sodasamples containing large concentrations of chloride can inter-fere with the quantitation of small amounts of fluoride.Selection of a high capacity anion separator column willminimize this problem.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E15 onIndustrial and Specialty C

Itis very important to follow the manufacturers recommenda-tions for cleaning

18、 and maintaining the various parts of the ICsystem.5.3 The anion concentrator column in the neutralizationmodule has a finite capacity for trapping anions, approximately25 micro-equivalents per column. When the capacity of thecolumn is exceeded, the stripping of anions will not bequantitative.6. App

In contact with the skin they produce burns thatmay be quite serious unless promptly treated. Their action isinsidious since they produce n

31、o immediate stinging or burningsensation, and damage may result before their presence isrealized.8.2 Eyes are particularly vulnerable to severe damage fromthese alkalies.8.3 Use safety goggles or face shields and rubber gloveswhen handling these alkalies, and avoid spillage on clothing.These materia

32、ls rapidly attack wool and leather.8.4 Flush away spilled caustic with water where possible, orcover with absorbent material (such as sawdust, vermiculite, orbaking soda), and sweep up and discard in accordance with allfederal, state, and local health and environmental regulations.Last traces may be

33、 neutralized with dilute acetic acid and thearea washed with water.8.5 Consult Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemi-cals listed in this test method for further information.3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications , AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

(USPC), Rockville,MD.E17870829. Calibration9.1 The retent

35、ion time for each anion is determined byinjecting a series of standard solutions, each containing onlyone anion of interest, into the IC and recording the timerequired for a peak to appear on the chromatogram. Retentiontimes vary with operating conditions. The standards, therefore,must be chromatogr

36、aphed in the same manner as the samplesolutions, which includes passing them through the autoneu-tralization module. Fig. 1 is a typical chromatogram that showsthe elution order of various anions from the Dionex AS-12Aseparator column using the carbonate/bicarbonate eluent.9.2 Calibrate the ion chro

37、matograph using a series ofcalibration standards. Each standard should contain all theanions of interest. The concentration of anions in this series ofstandards should be prepared so they bracket the expectedconcentration of anions in the diluted sample. After thestandards have been analyzed by IC,

38、the “best-fit” straight lineis determined for each anion using the concentration versus ICarea counts. If the IC is equipped with a computer operatedsoftware or an integrator, calibration should be done accordingto manufacturers instructions for multi-level external standardcalibrations. If an integ

39、rator or computer is not used, calibra-tion curves can be created on graph paper by plotting concen-tration versus peak area for each anion of interest and drawingthe “best-fit” straight line through the points.9.2.1 A typical calibration would include a series of four tofive standards containing th

40、e anions of interest from 0.110g/mL (ppm).10. Procedure10.1 Set up the ion chromatograph and the automatedneutralization device according to the manufacturers instruc-tions. The IC system can be set up to accommodate the use ofan autosampler or manual injection with a syringe. Thedetector ranges are

41、 variable. The range setting required for theanalysis will depend on the concentration of anions in thesample and should be chosen accordingly. Table 1 lists typicalanalytical conditions for the anion analysis by IC.NOTE 1Styrene-based strong acid resin in the H+form and commer-cially available neut

42、ralization cartridges containing this resin have beenused to neutralize caustic samples prior to introduction into an IC. Theiruse can eliminate the need for sophisticated on-line neutralization devices.Even when rinsed thoroughly, however, they introduce contaminants(especially chloride and sulfate

43、) to the sample solution and are notrecommended for determining anions with concentrations less than 50ug/g (ppm) in caustic soda or caustic potash.NOTE 2A chemical suppression device or commercially availableneutralization cartridge installed in the IC system before the separatorcolumn, has been su

44、ccessfully used as a replacement for the automatedneutralization module to neutralize caustic soda and caustic potashsamples. By using this approach, however, the 50 % solutions of causticsoda and caustic potash must be diluted by a ratio of 100:1. Thequantitation limits using this modified techniqu

45、e, therefore, are corre-spondingly higher. Details of the modification are not given in this testmethod.10.2 Equilibrate the system by pumping eluent through thecolumns and the detector until a stable baseline is obtained(approximately 15 to 20 min).10.3 Sample solutions are prepared by transferring

46、 a knownweight of sample (weighed to the nearest 0.01 g) to a 100-mLvolumetric flask and diluting to volume with water. Theamount of dilution is dependent on levels of anions in thesample. In many cases, when both high level and lower levelsof anions are to be quantified in the same sample, two or m

47、oresample solutions of different dilutions may have to be ana-lyzed. The neutralization module is capable of neutralizingsolutions containing 25 % sodium hydroxide when the solutionis cycled through the neutralizer at least twice. Sample solu-tions containing up to 50 g of 50 % product or 25 g ofanh

48、ydrous, therefore, can be neutralized effectively. Table 2can be used as a general guideline of sample dilutions based onexpected concentrations of individual anions.An IC calibrationcovering the range of 0.1 to 10 g/mL has been assumed.10.4 Inject the sample into the ion chromatograph andrecord the

49、 ion chromatogram of anions in caustic.
