DIN EN 16168:2012-11EN 16168:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is applicable and validated for several types of matrices as indicated in Table 1 (see also Annex A for the results of the

23、 validation). Table 1 Matrices for which this European Standard is applicable and validated Matrix Materials used for validation Sludge Municipal sludge Biowaste Fresh compostCompost Soil Sludge amended soil Agricultural soil WARNING Persons using this European Standard should be familiar with usual

24、 laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT

25、It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard be carried out by suitably trained staff. DIN EN 16168:2012-11EN 16168:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the determination of total nitrogen (organic and inorganic) according to the procedure of Dum

26、as in sludge, treated biowaste and soil. A typical limit of detection is 0,02 % nitrogen, and a typical limit of quantification is 0,08 % nitrogen. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its applicati

27、on. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

29、-15) ISO 18512, Soil quality Guidance on long and short term storage of soil samples 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 total nitrogen amount of nitrogen that is released after Dumas combustion of the sample 4 Principle The total

30、 nitrogen content of the material is determined by heating it to a temperature of at least 850 C in the presence of oxygen. Mineral (inorganic) and organic nitrogen compounds are oxidized and/or volatilized. The combustion products are oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and molecular nitrogen (N2). After tran

31、sforming all nitrogen into molecular nitrogen, the content of the nitrogen gas is measured using thermal conductometry or other device specific detectors. 5 Interferences and sources of errors Pores in the material to be analysed are filled with air and therefore with nitrogen. Nitrogen also enters

32、the combustion cell when it is opened to exchange the sample. Purging of the cell and the material to be analysed by inert gas is sufficient in leaving no nitrogen gas behind. Moist samples shall be used only in special cases and handled with care, as they can leach out of sample vials during the pr

33、ocess or contaminate the device by spattering. Fluctuations of total nitrogen may be caused by differences in nitrogen content of carrier gases used. Therefore a blank determination shall be performed after changing gas bottles and each day before starting the analytical series. DIN EN 16168:2012-11

34、EN 16168:2012 (E) 6 6 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, unless otherwise specified. 6.1 Water, grade 2 as specified in EN ISO 3696. 6.2 Combustion gas (oxygen), free of nitrogen. 6.3 Inert gas, carrier gas, free of nitrogen, e.g. helium. 6.4 Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (

35、EDTA), or other calibration substances with known content of nitrogen, e.g. acetanilide (C8H9NO), L-aspartic acid (C4H7NO4), sulfanilic acid or other amino acids or reference standards (e.g. NIST) which contain the matrix materials of investigations. 7 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus, and in pa

36、rticular the following: 7.1 Dumas apparatus, suitable and calibrated for determination of total nitrogen by combustion of the sample at a temperature of at least 850 C, and equipped with a detection device for measurement of nitrogen gas. 7.2 Crucibles, adapted to the Dumas apparatus (7.1) of variab

37、le sizes, e.g. 1 ml to 20 ml of nominal volume or special foil. 8 Sample storage and sample pretreatment Store soil samples according to ISO 18512 and sludge samples according to EN ISO 5667-15. For the purpose of this European Standard biowaste may be stored like soil. Pretreat the sample according

38、 to EN 16179, if not otherwise specified. During the drying procedure or a milling process, care shall be taken to avoid losses of ammonium-N and/or nitrate-N. Prolonged drying at 40 C or at room temperature may cause losses of nitrogen due to microbial activity within the sample. Therefore rapid dr

39、ying methods should be used. If necessary, moist samples can be used. In this case determine the dry mass on a special sample, so that the result can be referred to dry mass. Determine the dry mass of the sample according to EN 15934. 9 Procedure 9.1 General The total nitrogen contribution from wate

40、r (6.1), reagents and gases (6.2, 6.3) shall be significantly less than the lowest total nitrogen content to be determined. The overall total nitrogen content of water (6.1), reagents and gases (6.2, 6.3) shall be checked by performing a blank test (see 9.3). Ascertain homogeneity of the laboratory

41、sample and the air-dried test sample. In special cases the use of moist samples is necessary. Take care that the sample is homogeneous and avoid spattering during the combustion process in the Dumas apparatus. DIN EN 16168:2012-11EN 16168:2012 (E) 7 The Dumas apparatus (7.1) is used to combust the m

42、aterial at a minimum temperature of 850 C in the presence of oxygen (6.2), to reduce the nitrogen oxides, to eliminate the interfering gases and to detect the content of molecular nitrogen gas formed. 9.2 Confirmation of calibration Confirm the calibration of the apparatus by analyzing calibration s

43、ubstances (6.4) to control the combustion and the apparatus on the day of use as follows: Weigh an adequate amount of EDTA (6.4) or any calibrating substance and measure the amount of nitrogen. If necessary, check the linearity of the analyser with different amounts of EDTA (6.4) or the calibrating

44、substance used. If the confirmation value derives by more than 3 %, the calibration should be updated. 9.3 Blank test Carry out blank determinations (empty crucibles) in each series. If a reproducible blank value is measured, it shall be considered during calibration. Otherwise, the reason shall be

45、determined and removed. NOTE Fingerprints on sample containers may lead to blank values. 9.4 Determination of total nitrogen content Weigh a portion of the dried or moist sample to be analyzed to the nearest of 0,1 % accuracy into the crucible (7.2). The amount depends on the expected total nitrogen

46、 content and on the size of the crucible. Carry out the analysis in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Use oxygen (6.2) as combustion gas. For reduction, oxidation, removal and/or fixing of combustion gases that interfere with the analysis, refer to the manufacturers instructions. 10 Ca
