identification test | take about 500mg of sample, add 10ml of dilute hydrochloric acid test solution (TS-117), mix and filter. Neutralize the filtrate with ammonia test solution (TS-3) until litmus paper is neutral. Then according to the (IT-10) method of calcium test, should be positive. Take a small amount of sodium phosphate and ammonia crystal, put it into the platinum silk ring and melt into beads on the flame of the raw lamp. When it is hot, touch a small amount of the melt in the sample and then melt. During the cooling process, there will be small beads of opaque network structure silica floating on the sodium ammonium phosphate beads. |
content analysis | analysis of cinnamon dioxide gradually weighed about 400mg of the sample, put it into a beaker, add 5ml of water and 10ml of perchloric acid/heat until perchloric acid volatilizes white smoke, cover the beaker with a surface dish, and continue heating for more than 15min. After cooling, add 30ml of water, filter, and rinse the precipitate with 200ml of hot water. The filtrate and lotion are combined and retained for calcium oxide content analysis. Move the filter paper and the precipitate on it into a platinum pot, slowly heat to dry, and then heat until the filter paper is completely carbonized. After cooling, add a few drops of sulfuric acid and burn at about 1300°C to constant weight. Add 5 drops of sulfuric acid to wet the residue, add 215ml of hydrofluoric acid, continue to heat on the heating plate until all the acids are distilled, then burn to constant weight at a temperature of not less than 1000 ℃, and put it into a dryer to cool and weigh. The weight loss is the SiO2 content in the sample. Sodium hydroxide test solution (TS-224) is used for calcium oxide analysis to neutralize the combination of filtrate and lotion in the above silica analysis until litmus is heavy. Under stirring, about 30ml of 0.05mol/L EDTA disodium solution was added through a 50ml burette. Add 15ml of sodium hydroxide test solution and 300ml of hydroxynaphthol blue indicator, and continue titration to the blue end point. 0.05mol/L of EDTA disodium per ml is equivalent to CaO2.804 mg. |
