Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
governmental,
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 925 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 27, So/id mineral fuels, Subcommittee SC 5, Methods of analysis.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (IS0 925:1980),
which has been technically revised.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

content -
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a gravimetric method of determining the carbon in the mineral carbonates
associated with solid mineral fuels.
NOTE - The result obtained will include any carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbed by the fuel.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Principle
A known mass of sample is treated with hydrochloric acid, which reacts with the carbonates present to liberate
carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide resulting from the decomposition of the carbonates is absorbed and weighed.

4 Reagents
WARNING - Care should be exercised when handling reagents, many of which are toxic and corrosive.
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled
water, or water of equivalent purity.
Distilled water may be freed from carbon dioxide by boiling gently for 15 min.
NOTE -
4.1 Hydrochloric acid, approximately 3 mol/l.
4.2 Hydrogen sulfide absorbent
Any of the following:
a) copper phosphate, granular, particle size I,2 mm to 0,7 mm;
NOTE 1 Copper(H) phosphate granules may be prepared as follows:
Mix copper phosphate powdered reagent to a stiff paste with 1 % starch solution. Press through a sheet of metal,
perforated with apertures of approximately 1 mm diameter. Dry the extruded material at 110 OC. Sieve to recover the
desired size fraction.
b) copper sulfate, deposited on a supporting base of ground pumice;
NOTE 2 A suitable absorbent, based on copper sulfate, may be prepared as follows:
Prepare pumice by crushing and sieving to obtain the 2,8 mm to 0,7 mm fraction. Transfer approximately 60 g of the
prepared pumice to an evaporating basin, covering with a saturated solution of copper sulfate, evaporate to
dryness with constant stirring, and heat at 150 OC to 160 “C for 3 h to 4 h. Cool in a desiccator and store in a glass-
stoppered bottle.
silver sulfate, granular.
C)
4.3 Magnesium perchlorate, anhydrous, particle size I,2 mm to 0,7 mm.
WARNING - Due regard must be taken of local regulations when disposing of exhausted magnesium
perchlorate. It is essential that regeneration of magnesium perchlorate is not attempted, owing to the risk
of explosion.
4.4 Sodium hydroxide, on an inert base, preferably of coarse grading, for example I,7 mm to I,2 mm, and
preferably of the self-indicating type.
4.5 Wetting agent, suitable for use in acid solution.
NOTE - A liquid wetting agent at a concentration of 100 ml/l or ethanol [95 % (V/V)] are suitable.
4.6 Check test reagent
Either of the following:
a) anhydrous sodium carbonate;
b) anhydrous calcium carbonate.

outlet ends.
5.6 Air circulation equipment

5.7 Heating source, for the reaction flask.
Either an electric heating mantle to accommodate a 300 ml flask or a small gas burner.
An example of a suitable assembly of the apparatus is illustrated in figure 1.
6 Preparation of the test sample
The test sample is the general analysis test sample prepared in accordance with IS0 1988, IS0 2309, IS0 5069-2,
IS0 941 l-l or IS0 9411-2 as appropriate. Ensure that the moisture content of the sample is in equilibrium with
