ISO/FDIS 22018:2020(E)
Introduction

Owing to the variation of basic phosphate component, character and processing technology,

traditionally, different extraction solutions and methods have been utilized for the determination of

the available phosphorus content of phosphate fertilizers. Extraction solutions currently employed

for phosphorus content determination include alkaline ammonium citrate (i.e. Petermann’s solution),

neutral ammonium citrate, citric acid, EDTA + citric acid, or just EDTA. Each of these extractants is

designed to target specific phosphate components of phosphorus-based fertilizers.

Due to rapid developments in the modern fertilizer industry, especially with the formulation of

compound/complex fertilizers, many phosphate fertilizers can have multiple phosphorus-containing

components. The co-existence of these various phosphorus sources in a compound/complex fertilizer

can complicate the effective extraction and determination of the available phosphorus content.

Determination of available phosphorus content in
inorganic fertilizers — EDTA extraction method
1 Scope

This document is applicable for use in the determination of the available phosphorus content of inorganic

fertilizers using an EDTA-based extraction. The method is suitable for fertilizers composed of or

blended from multiple sources such as superphosphate, ammonium phosphate, triple superphosphate,

and/or nitrophosphate. It is not suitable for fertilizers containing calcium magnesium phosphates.

4 Principle

The available phosphorus content in inorganic fertilizers (calcium magnesium phosphate excluded)

is extracted by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) solution. Phosphorus content

in the extracting solution in the form of orthophosphate reacts with quimociac reagent in the acid

medium to form yellow quinolinium molybdophosphate precipitate. The available phosphorus content

is determined by gravimetric quinolinium molybdophosphate method.
5 Reagents

WARNING — Nitric acid is both corrosive and toxic. Refer to the applicable Safety Data Sheet

(SDS). Quinoline is irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Refer to the applicable Safety

Data Sheet (SDS). The related operations shall be performed in the fume hood. This document

does not point out all possible safety problems, and the user shall bear the responsibility to take

proper safety and health measures, and ensure the operations compliant with the conditions

stipulated by the related laws and regulations of corresponding countries/regions.

ISO/FDIS 22018:2020(E)

Analytical grade reagent (A.R.) chemicals shall be used in all tests, unless otherwise indicated. The

purity of water used throughout shall be understood to mean reagent water with electrical resistivity

≥18,2 MΩ·cm.
5.1 Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate (EDTA, C H N Na O
10 14 2 2 8
2H O) solution (37,5 g/l, eq. 0,1 mol/l)

Dissolve 37,5 g of EDTA in 1 000 ml of deionized water in a 1 000 ml beaker. Mix well.

5.2 Quimociac reagent
The reagents used in the preparation of Quimociac reagent:
— sodium molyddate (Na MoO .2H O);
2 4 2
— citric acid (C H O .H O);
6 8 7 2
— nitric acid (HNO , 65 %–68 %);

— quinoline (2-azabicyclo[4.4.0]deca-1(6),2,4,7,9-pentaene, C H N , C A S: 91 ­22 ­5 ) .

9 7

Solution a: Add 70 g of sodium molybdate (Na MoO ·2H O) into a 400 ml beaker. Add 100 ml of water

2 4 2
and stir to dissolve.

Solution b: Add 60 g of citric acid (C H O ·H O) into a 1 l beaker. Add 100 ml of water and stir to dissolve,

6 8 7 2
then add 85 ml of nitric acid (HNO , 65 % to 68 %).
Solution c: Add solution a into solution b, mix well.

Solution d: Mix 85 ml of nitric acid (HNO , 65 % to 68 %) with 100 ml of water in a 400 ml beaker, then

add 5 ml of quinoline (2-azabicyclo[4.4.0]deca-1(6),2,4,7,9-pentaene, C H N,CAS: 91-22-5), mix well.

9 7

Add solution d into solution c, mix well and stand overnight. Filter the mixed solution with filter

paper, add 280 ml of acetone into the filtrate, then dilute the solution by water to 1 L. The as-prepared

quimociac reagent should be stored in a polyethylene bottle and preserved in a dark place to avoid light

and heat.

NOTE If the colour of quimociac reagent turns to light blue (caused by light), appropriate amount of

potassium bromate solution (KBr, 10 g/L) can be added into the quimociac reagent until the colour disappears.

5.3 Nitric acid solution (HNO , 1+1)

Dilute a certain volume of 65 % to 68 % nitric acid (ρ = 1,39 g/ml to 1,40 g/ml) with an equal volume

of water.

7 Test procedure
7.1 General
Replicate experiments shall be done for the determination.
7.2 Preparation of test sample

Prepare the test samples for analysis in accordance with ISO 8358 and 14820-2:2016.

7.3 Weigh of test portion

Weigh the appropriate amount of the test portion (accurately to 0,000 2 g) to obtain between 100 mg to

200 mg of P O .
2 5
7.4 Extraction of available phosphorus

According to 7.2, weigh the appropriate amount of the test portion on the filter paper and wrap it,

put it into a 250 ml volumetric flask. Add 150 ml EDTA solution (5.1), plug the flask tightly, shake the

volumetric flask to break apart the filter paper and disperse the sample into the solution, then put

it in the thermostatic water bath oscillator (6.4) pre­set at 60 °C ± 2 °C, oscillate for 1 h at constant

temperature (set the oscillation frequency to make the sample in volumetric flask can flip over freely).

Then take the volumetric flask out, cool down to ambient temperature, dilute the solution by water

to scale, mix well and dry filter. Discard the first part of the filtrate. Label the remaining filtrate as

solution I for determining available phosphorus content.
7.5 Determination of the available phosphorus content

Draw the appropriate amount of solution I (volume of v ) by single-line pipette, place into a 500 mL

beaker, add 10 ml nitric acid solution (5.3), dilute by water to 100 mL, heat on the hot plate till boiling,

remove and add 35 mL quimociac reagent, then cover with a watch glass. Continue heating on the hot

plate for 1 min or place covered­beaker into water bath pre­set at close to boil until the precipitation is

complete and the precipitate has settled to the bottom of the beaker. Remove the beaker from the hot

plate or water bath and allow to cool to ambient temperature.

Filter it by glass filter crucible (6.3), which was pre-dried to constant weight in drying oven at

180 °C ± 2 °C beforehand. Filter the supernatant first, and then wash the precipitation by decantation

1 to 2 times, use 25 ml water for each time, transfer the precipitation to the filter, wash it by water

again, use 125 ml to 150 ml water in total. Put the precipitation together with the filter in the drying

oven pre-set at 180 °C ± 2 °C, drying for 45 min after the temperature reach 180 °C, take it out and

transfer it into a desiccator and cool it down to ambient temperature, weigh the precipitation together

with the filter.
7.6 Blank test

Except for not adding samples, the blank test should be carried out exactly the same as the sample test

using the same amount of reagent by identical analysis procedures.
