identification test | citrate test (IT-13) and ferrous salt test (IT-19) of 10% sample solution were both positive. |
content analysis | (ferrous) accurately weigh about 0.4g of sample, dissolve in (16-100) dilute sulfuric acid 20rnl, add 5ml of 85% phosphoric acid, dilute with water to about 50ml, add n-phenanthroline test solution (TS-162) and immediately titrate with 0.1mol/L percerium sulfate. At the same time, blank titration is performed and necessary correction is made. 0.1mol/L cerium sulfate per mL is equivalent to Fe 5.585mg. |
