Make up the volumes to about 50 ml with water, add

32、one drop of indicator (5.8) and neutralize, if necessary, with sulfuric acid 0,05 mol/l (5.3). Stir in 20 ml of the alkaline tartrate solution (5.5) then 20 ml of the copper sulfate solution (5.6). These solutions shall be measured with two precision burettes or better still with pipettes. Make up t

With the “0” biuret standard solution as a reference, measure the absorbance of each solution at a wavelength of about 546 nm using cells of a suitable path length. Plot the calibration curve using the absorbance rate as the ordinat

35、he mark. Filter if necessary. Weigh to the nearest 0,001 g about 25 g of the ammoniumsulfate containing sample. Transfer into a beaker glass of 250 ml with about 100 ml of water at about 70 C and dissolve. Filter the solution over a Bchner funnel with a glass fibre filter and wash the filter with ap

36、proximately 50 ml of water. Transfer the filtrate in a volumetric flask of 250 ml. Bring the temperature to 20 C, dilute to the mark with water and mix. Pipette 100 ml of the solution and pass it through the cation resin with a speed of approximately 150 ml/h. Collect the eluate in a 250 ml volumetr

37、ic flask. Wash the resin with water until a total volume of approximately 220 ml is obtained in the volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix. Then proceed as indicated in 8.3. Elimination of the opalescence: if any colloid substance is present, difficulties might arise during filterin

The solution intended for analysis is in that case prepared as follows: dissolve the sample for analysis in 150 ml of water, add 2 ml of 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid and filter the solution through two flat very fine filters into a graduated 250 ml flask. Wash the filters with water and make up to v

39、olume. Continue the process according to the method as described in 8.3. 8.3 Determination According to the presumed biuret content, transfer 25 ml or 50 ml from the solution mentioned in 8.2 with a pipette, place this quantity in a 100 ml graduated flask and neutralize if necessary with sulfuric ac

40、id solution or sodium hydroxide solution (5.3 or 5.4) as required, using methyl red as an indicator and add, with the same accuracy as that used when drawing up a calibration curve, 20 ml of the alkaline solution of potassium sodium tartrate (5.5) and 20 ml of the copper solution (5.6). Make up to v

41、olume, mix thoroughly and leave standing for 15 min at (30 2) C. Then carry out the photometric measurements and calculate the quantity of biuret present in the urea. 9 Calculation and expression of the result Calculate the mass concentration, B, of biuret in percent of the sample according to the f
