43、 of total nitrogen. 6.3.2 Determination 6.3.2.1 Reduction NOTE 1 This step is not required if nitrate nitrogen is known to be absent. Transfer the test portion (6.3.1) to the flask (6.2.1) and add sufficient water to make up the total volume to 35 ml. Allow the flask to stand for 10 min with occasio

44、nal gentle swirling to ensure dissolution of all nitrate salts. Add 1,2 g of the chromium powder (6.1.1) and 7 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution (6.1.7). Allow the flask to stand for at least 5 min, but not more than 10 min, at ambient temperature. Place the flask on a heating device in a fume cu

45、pboard with the heat input regulated to pass a 7 min to 7,5 min boil test and heat the flask for 4,5 min. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. NOTE 2 The heat input is that required to bring 250 ml of water at 25 C to a “rolling“ boil in 7 min to 7,5 min. 6.3.2.2 Hydrolysis NOTE This step can be

46、used instead of the digestion (6.3.2.3) if it is known that the only forms of organic nitrogen present are urea and cyanamide forms. Stand the flask in a fume cupboard and add 1,5 g of the fused aluminium oxide (6.1.2). Carefully add 25 ml of the sulfuric acid (6.1.6) to the flask. Insert the pear-s

47、haped hollow glass stopper into the neck of the flask and place on a heating device and initially heat until gently boiling. Then adjust the heat input to pass a 7 min to 7,5 min boil test (see 6.3.2.1, NOTE 2). Continue to heat the flask and contents until dense white fumes of sulfuric acid have be

48、en involving for at least 15 min. Allow the flask to cool to room temperature and carefully add 250 ml of water. Allow the flask to cool. 6.3.2.3 Digestion NOTE This step is necessary only if organic forms of nitrogen other than urea or cyanamide forms are present (see 6.3.2.2) or in the case of fer

49、tilizers of unknown composition. Place the flask in a fume cupboard and add 22 g of the digestion catalyst mixture (6.1.5) and 1,5 g of the fused aluminium oxide (6.1.2). Carefully add 30 ml of the sulfuric acid (6.1.6) to the flask and add 0,5 g of the DIN EN 15750:2010-02 EN 15750:2009 (E) 10 anti-foaming agent (6.1.3) to reduce foaming. Insert the pear-shaped hollow glass stopper into the neck of the flask and place on a heating device with the heat input adjusted to pass a 7 min to
