This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS7755-3.7:1995 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the total nitrogen (ammonium-N, nitrate-N, nitrite-N and organic

14、N) content of a soil. Nitrogen in N-N-linkages, N-O-linkages and some heterocyclics (especially pyridine) is only partially determined. ThisInternational Standard is applicable to all types of soils. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this t

15、ext, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent ed

18、igestion, but titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is used as the catalyst instead of selenium. NOTE 1Titanium dioxide is ecotoxicologically less harmfull than selenium. 4 Reagents All reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade. Use water of grade 2 complying with ISO 3696. 4.1 Salicylic acid/sulfuric ac

19、id Dissolve 25 g of salicylic acid in 1 litre of concentrated sulfuric acid ( = 1,84 g/cm 3 ). 4.2 Potassium sulfate catalyst mixture Grind and thoroughly mix 200 g of potassium sulfate, 6 g of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate and6g of titanium dioxide, with the crystal structure of anatase. 4.3 Sodi

20、um thiosulfate pentahydrate Crush the crystals to form a powder that passes through a sieve with an aperture of 0,25 mm. 4.4 Sodium hydroxide, c(NaOH) = 10 mol/l. 4.5 Boric acid solution, (H 3 BO 3 ) = 20 g/l. 4.6 Mixed indicator Dissolve 0,1 g of bromocresol green and 0,02 g of methyl red in 100 ml

21、 of ethanol. 4.7 Sulfuric acid, c(H + ) = 0,01 mol/l. 5 Apparatus Usual laboratory equipment and 5.1 Digestion flasks or tubes, of nominal volume50ml, suitable for the digestion stand. 5.2 Digestion stand NOTE 2Glass tubes placed in holes drilled into an aluminium block are also suitable. 5.3 Distil

22、lation apparatus, preferably of the Parnas-Wagner type. 5.4 Burette, graduated in intervals of 0,01 ml or smaller. 6 Pretreatment of soil samples Samples shall be pretreated according to ISO 11464. NOTE 3Losses of nitrogen can occur with samples of high ammonium-N and nitrate-N content. Therefore, e

23、xcessive drying(105 C) should be avoided. 7 Procedure Place a test portion of the air-dried soil sample, of about 0,2 g (expected nitrogen content . 0,5 %) to1g (expected nitrogen content . 0,1 %), in the digestion flask (5.1). Add 4 ml of salicylic/sulfuric acid (4.1) and swirl the flask until the

24、acid is thoroughly mixed with the soil. Allow the mixture to stand for at least several hours (or overnight). Add0,5 g of sodium thiosulfate (4.3) through a dry funnel with a long stem that reaches down into the bulb of the digestion flask, and heat the mixture cautiously on the digestion stand (5.2

25、) until frothing has ceased. Then cool the flask, add 1,1 g of the catalyst mixture(4.2) and heat until the digestion mixture becomes clear. Boil the mixture gently for up to 5 h so that the sulfuric acid condenses about 1/3 of the way up to the neck of the flask. Ensure that the temperature of the

26、solution does not exceed 400 C. NOTE 4In most cases a boiling period of 2 h is sufficient.BS7755-3.7:1995 2 BSI 10-1999 After completion of the digestion step, allow the flask to cool and add about 20 ml of water slowly while shaking. Then swirl the flask to bring any insoluble material into suspens

27、ion and transfer the contents to the distillation apparatus (5.3). Rinse three times with water to complete the transfer. Add5 ml of boric acid (4.5) to a 100 ml conical flask and place the flask under the condenser of the distillation apparatus in such a way that the end of the condenser dips into

28、the solution. Add 20 ml of sodium hydroxide (4.4) to the funnel of the apparatus and run the alkali slowly into the distillation chamber. Distil about 40 ml of condensate (the amount for quantitative results depends on the dimensions of the apparatus), rinse the end of the condenser, add a few drops

29、 of indicator (4.6) to the distillate and titrate with sulfuric acid (4.7) to a violet endpoint. NOTE 5A potentiometric titration is also possible. The endpoint of the titration should be pH = 5,0. NOTE 6If steam distillation is used, a distillation rate of up to about 25 ml/min is applicable. Stop

30、the distillation when about100 ml of distillate have been collected. Carry out a blank test in which the same procedure is performed without soil. Notify the consumption of sulfuric acid in the blank test and in the tests of the soil samples. 8 Calculation of the result The total content of nitrogen

31、, (w N ), in milligrams per gram, is calculated using the formula: Round the result to two significant figures. 9 Precision The precision data according to ISO 5725 were determined from an experiment conducted in 1992 involving 14 laboratories and 4 soil samples. The results obtained are given in Ta

32、ble 1. From the data in Table 1, it can be concluded that the difference between two separate determinations should not exceed 15 % of the measured total nitrogen content when the content is less than 2 mg/g, and 10 % of the measured total nitrogen content when the content is greater than 2 mg/g. 10

33、 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) a reference to this International Standard; b) a complete identification of the sample; c) the results of the determination; d) any details not specified in this International Standard or which are optional, as well as any fact

34、or which may have affected the results. where V 1 is the volume, in millilitres, of the sulfuric acid (4.7) used in the titration of the sample indicator (4.6); V 0 is the volume, in millilitres, of the sulfuric acid (4.7) used in the blank test indicator(4.6); c(H + ) is the concentration of H +in

35、the sulfuric acid (4.7), in moles per litre e.g. if 0,01 mol/l sulfuric acid is used, c(H + ) = 0,02 mol/l; M N is the molar mass of nitrogen, in grams per mole (= 14); m is the mass, in grams, of the air-dried sample of soil; is the water content, expressed as a percentage by mass, on the basis of

36、oven-dried soil, determined according to ISO 11465. w H 2 OBS7755-3.7:1995 BSI 10-1999 3 Table 1 General average of nitrogen content, s r , r, s Rand R calculated after elimination of outliers Sample No. Nitrogen content, w N mg/g Repeatability conditions of soil mg/g Reproducibility conditions mg/g
