Wash the residuethoroughly to remove soluble precipitate.13.7.1 Transfer the paper plus residue into a platinumcrucible. Char t

38、he paper at a low temperature and then ignite ina muffle furnace at 800 C. Remove from the furnace and cool.13.7.2 Add 5 mL of HF, add 5 mL of HClO4, mix, and heatuntil dense fumes are being given off. Remove from the heatand cool.13.7.3 Dilute with water and transfer to the 500-mL volu-metric flask

If iron is present in the sample already, the addition of theferric chloride solution can

41、be eliminated.13.9.2 Add 20 mL of NH4Cl solution (8.4) and mix.13.9.3 Add NH4OH, dropwise, until a slight turbidity de-velops. Then add 5 mL of HCl (1 + 4) and mix.13.9.4 Add 20 mL of NH4F solution and mix.13.9.4.1 If the cobalt content of the sample is known to beless than 0.05 %, proceed as direct

44、 mL of CHCl3(8.7) anddiscard the lower phase. Proceed as directed in 13.9.6.13.9.6 Add 5 mL of thiourea (8.15) solution and 25 mLNH4SCN solution (8.5), mixing after each addition.13.9.7 Add 80 mL of MIBK (8.11) and shake vigorously for1 min.

Allow the phases to separate anddiscard the lower aqueous phase. Retain the upper organicphase.13.9.9 Transfer the portions from both separa

46、tory funnels toa 400-mL beaker. To each separatory funnel add 1 mL of HCl(1 + 4) and 50 mL of ethanol and shake for 5 s. Transfer bothof these solutions to the 400-mL beaker. Cover the beaker untilthe titration is to begin.13.10 Titration:13.10.1 Place a stirring bar into the solution in the 400-mLb

47、eaker and place the beaker on a magnetic stirrer. Begin to stirat a moderate rate.13.10.2 While stirring, add 10 mL of NaF solution (8.14),10 mL of thiourea solution (8.15), and 20 mL of buffer solution(8.6).13.10.3 If the cadmium content of the original sample isbelieved to be from 5 % to 10 % add

Should a phase separation occur or the sample become cloudy,add 20 mL of ethanol and proceed with the titration.NOTE 5If the end-point is inadvertently passed, add 1.00 mL of zincstandard solution (8.17) by means of a microburet. Complete the titrationas usual. Correct the final result for the quantity of zinc added.E945 12314. Calculation14.1 Calculate the percentage of zinc as follows:Zi
