Fertilizers - Determination of water content (Karl Fischer methods) - Part 2: 2-propanol as extracting medium

This European standard specifies a Karl Fischer titrimetric method for the determination of the water content of fertilizers based on the use of 2-propanol as extracting medium.
The method is applicable to all solid mineral fertilizers. The result (KFP water) includes "free" water and extracted water of crystallization from the following components of fertilizers: calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O); magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O); potassium chloride magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O); magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).

Düngemittel - Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes (Karl-Fischer-Verfahren) - Teil 2: 2-Propanol als Extraktionsmittel

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein titrimetrisches Karl-Fischer-Verfahren für die maßanalytische Bestimmung des Wasser-ge-haltes von Düngemitteln fest, das auf der Verwendung von 2-Propanol als Extraktionsmittel basiert.
Das Verfahren gilt für alle festen mineralischen Düngemittel. Das Ergebnis (KFP-Wasser) umfasst ?freies" Wasser sowie extrahiertes Kristallwasser der folgenden Düngemittelbestandteile: Calciumnitrattetrahydrat (Ca(NO3)2 · 4H2O); Magnesiumsulfatheptahydrat (MgSO4 · 7H2O); Kaliumchlorid-Magnesiumchloridhexahydrat (Carnallit, KCl · MgCl2 · 6H2O); Magnesiumnitrathexahy-drat (Mg(NO3)2 · 6H2O).

Engrais - Détermination de la teneur en eau (Méthodes Karl Fischer) - Partie 2: 2-propanol comme milieu d'extraction

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode Karl Fischer de titrage de la teneur en eau des engrais, reposant sur l'utilisation de 2-propanol comme milieu d'extraction.
La méthode est applicable a tous les engrais solides. Le résultat (eau KFP) englobe l'eau "libre" et l'eau de cristallisation des éléments suivants des matieres fertilisantes : nitrate de calcium tétrahydraté (Ca(NO3)2.4H2O), sulfate de magnésium heptahydraté (MgSO4.7H2O), chlorure de potassium et de magnésium hexahydraté (Carnallite, KCl.MgCl2.6H2O), nitrate de magnésium hexahydraté (Mg(NO3)2.6H2O).

EN 13466-2:2001 (E)4IntroductionThe water content of fertilizers has a significant effect on their quality and, especially, their storage and handlingproperties.Water can be present in a number of forms such as free water, bound water and water of crystallization. It is oftenimportant to be able to distinguish between these forms of water. The gravimetric methods for determination ofwater standardized in EN 12048 and EN 12049 have only limited applicability.The Karl Fischer method is applicable to a wide range of fertilizers. However, there are several variations to thebasic technique, different formulations of the Karl Fischer reagents are commercially available and a number ofdifferent solvents can be used. In this standard, methanol and 2-propanol are used as extracting media todistinguish between the different forms of water present in fertilizers.EN 13466 "Fertilizers – Determination of water content (Karl Fischer methods)" consists of two parts: Part 1 : Methanol as extracting medium Part 2 : 2-propanol as extracting mediumAs examples of the difference between methanol and 2-propanol as extracting media methanol gives a result whichis a combination of free water and extracted water of crystallization from the following components of fertilizers:calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O); calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4·2H2O) ; calciumsulfate dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O)
calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4·0,5H2O) ; magnesium sulfateheptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O); potassium chloride magnesium sulfate water (1/1/2,75, Kainite, KCl·MgSO4·2,75H2O) ; potassium magnesium sulfate hexahydrate (Schoenite, K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O) ; potassiummagnesium sulfate tetrahydrate (Leonite, K2SO4·MgSO4·4H2O) ; potassium sulfate calcium sulfate monohydrate(Syngenite, K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O); potassium chloride magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O); magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).Extraction with 2-propanol gives a result which is a combination of free water and extracted water of crystallizationfrom the following components of fertilizers: calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O) ; magnesium sulfateheptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O); potassium chloride magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O);magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).SIST EN 13466-2:2002
