Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use – Specification and test methods. (ISO 3696:1987)ISO 607, Surface active agents and detergents – Methods of sample division.3 PrincipleA specified mass of sample is dissolved and then made up to standard volume with methanol. For sulfonic acids only,the sample is neutralised with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution prior to the dissolution. The solution is thenanalysed by Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). An octadecylsilane bondedstationary phase, methanol/water mobile phase, differential refractometer detector and external means ofquantification are employed. A back flush technique is used to "focus" the non-ionic components after all the activematter components and water have eluted from the column.4 ReagentsDuring the analysis, only use reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade 3 as definedin EN ISO 3696.4.1Methanol, CH4O HPLC grade.4.2Sodium hydroxide NaOH c(NaOH) = 1 mol/l solution.4.3Phenolphthalein indicator, ethanolic solution, C20H14O4, w(C20H14O4) = 0,1 g/100 g.4.4Calibration substances, based on the feedstock from which the surface active agent/sulfonic acid has beenproduced, eg. : parent linear alkyl benzene (LAB) for alkyl benzene sulfonates ; parent alcohols for alcohol sulfates ; parent alcohol ethoxylates for alcohol ethoxy sulfates.5 ApparatusOrdinary laboratory apparatus and the following.5.1High performance liquid chromatograph, suitable for analysis according to the conditions given in 6.3.5.2Datta logger/plotter giving the chromatographic peak areas.5.3Burette, capacity 10 ml with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) key, never lubricated with stopcock grease.SIST EN 13273:2002
