7.1.3.2 Pipette, of 50 ml capacity.
7.1.4 Procedure
Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, a test portion of about 0,3 g and dissolve it in 50 ml of water. Add 5 ml of the nitric
acid (7.1.2.1), followed by 50,OO ml of the silver nitrate (7.123) using the pipette (7.1.3.2). Shake well, add 2 ml of
the ammonium iron(lll) sulfate (7.122) and titrate the excess of silver nitrate with the ammonium thiocyanate
(7.124) to a permanent red endpoint.
7.1.5 Expression of results
The assay, expressed as a percentage by mass of NH&NS, is given by
7,612(5Oq - Vq)/m
is the actual concentration, in moles per litre, of the silver nitrate (7.123);
Cl
is the volume, in millilitres, of the ammonium thiocyanate (7.1.2.4) used for the titration;
V
is the actual concentration, in moles per litre, of the ammonium thiocyanate (7.1.2.4);
e2
m is the mass, in grams, of the test portion;
50 is the volume, in millilitres, of silver nitrate added (7.1.4);
7,612 is the conversion factor obtained from the mass of ammonium thiocyanate equivalent to 1 mole of
silver nitrate (i.e. 76,12) x the conversion factor for millilitres to litres (i.e. 0,001) x 100 (for percentage).

7.2.2 Procedure
Determine the percentage residue after ignition in accordance with IS0 10349-4. Weigh about 5,0 g of sample and
ignite it in a platinum crucible (600 “C + 50 OC, 4 h, 0,001 g). Cool in a desiccator and then weigh to the nearest
0,001 g.
7.3 Heavy metals content
7.3.1 Specification
Maximum content of heavy metals shall be 0,002 % (m/m).
7.3.2 Procedure
NOTE - The standard for the iron test (7.4) is prepared in the same way as the heavy metals standard.
Determine the percentage of heavy metals in accordance with IS0 10349-5. Use a test portion of I,90 g to 2,lO g,
prepared in accordance with IS0 10349-5:1992, 7.2. Use 4 ml of the heavy metals standard prepared in accordance
with IS0 10349-5:1992, 8.1 .I.
7.4 Iron content
7.4.1 Specification
Maximum content of iron shall be 0,0005 % C&m).
7.4.2 Procedure
Determine the percentage of iron in accordance with IS0 10349-5. Use a test portion of I,90 g to 2,lO g,
prepared in accordance with IS0 10349-5:1992, 7.2. Use 1 ml of the iron standard prepared in accordance with
IS0 10349-5:1992, 8.1.1.
7.5 Halide content (as Cl-)
7.51 Specification
Maximum content of halide shall be 0,06 % (m/m) [O,l % (m/m) as NH&I].
7.5.2 Reagents
7.5.2.1 Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), solid (DANGER: ((C))).
7.5.2.2 Hydrogen peroxide (H202), 67 g/l (approx.) solution.
Dilute 1 volume of 30 % hydrogen peroxide (DANGER: ((C))(O)) with 4 volumes of water.
7.5.3 Procedure
Weigh, to the nearest 0,l g, a test portion of about 1 g and dissolve it in 30 ml of the hydrogen peroxide (7.5.2.2).
Add 1 g of sodium hydroxide (7.5.2.1) (DANGER: ((C))1 and swirl until the vigorous reaction ceases. Add another
30 ml of hydrogen peroxide (7.5.2.2) and boil for 2 min. Cool and dilute to 100 ml with water. Use a 10 ml aliquot of
this test solution. Continue the procedure in accordance with IS0 10349-6:1992, clause 4, using 6 ml of the halide
