ISO 21078-2:2006(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21078-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 33, Refractories.
ISO 21078 consists of the following parts, under the general title Determination of boron(III) oxide in refractory
products:
— Part 1: Determination of total boric oxide in oxidic materials for ceramics, glass and glazes
— Part 2: Acid extraction method for the determination of boron(III) oxide in binder components

Part 2:
Acid extraction method for the determination of boron(III) oxide
in binder components
1Scope
This part of ISO 21078 specifies procedures of chemical analysis for the determination of boron(III) oxide used
as a binder component added to aluminosilicate refractories, using an acid extraction method.
1%
It is applicable for refractories containing less than (mass fraction) of boron(III) oxide.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.
ISO 31-0, Quantities and units — Part 0: General principles
ISO 836, Terminology for refractories
ISO 3310-1, Test sieves — Technical requirements and testing — Part 1: Test sieves of metal wire cloth
ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 836 and the following apply.
3.1
dry unshaped refractories
dry particles and/or powder of unshaped refractories
4 Preparation of the test sample
4.1 Refractory brick or its raw material
Sampling is carried out in accordance with the contract between the user and producer. A specified quantity
taken from a lot of the sample is crushed to pass through a 6,7 mm sieve (see ISO 3310-1) and reduced to
about 100 g by riffling or quartering. Then all the reduced sample is ground to pass through a 300µm sieve
(see ISO 3310-1).
4.2 Unshaped refractories
Prepare two approximately 100 g portions of the sample for analysis (both dry and wet), and crush to pass
through a 300µm sieve (see ISO 3310-1), in accordance with the following procedure in 4.3 to 4.5.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

ISO 21078-2:2006(E)
4.3 Dry unshaped refractories
Take one bag or 50 kg of the sample from a lot and reduce to about 100 g as above, and crush to pass through
a 300µmsieve.
4.4 Laboratory sample
The laboratory sample from 4.1 or 4.2 is reduced to approximately 25 g by quartering, and ground to pass
through a 106µm sieve. This is the test sample for analysis. It is transferred into a container [e.g. a flat weighing
bottle (50 mm× 30 mm) or sample tube (50 mm× 25 mm)], and dried in a desiccator with silica gel desiccant
for a minimum of 8h.
4.5 Weighing of test portion
The specified quantity of the test portion for chemical analysis shall be weighed to the nearest 0,1 mg using an
analytical balance and recorded.
Carry out the extraction process in duplicate.
5Reagents
Use only reagents of known analytical purity and water conforming to the requirements of grade 2 of ISO 3696
(e.g. double-distilled water).
The boron and borate ion concentrations in the water and the reagents shall be negligible compared with the
lowest concentration to be determined. All solutions are aqueous unless otherwise specified.
NOTE The reagents below are for the extraction process only. Reagents for the determination of B O are listed in the
2 3
appropriate clauses.
5.1 Dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 1).
Add 1 volume of hydrochloric acid (concentrated, 35 % by mass) to 1 volume of water, then mix and allow to
cool.
5.2 Dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 50).
Add 1 volume of hydrochloric acid (concentrated, 35 % by mass) to 50 volumes of water.
6 Mass of test portion for extraction
Weigh out 5,0 g of the test sample.
7 Preparation of the test solution
Weigh and transfer the dry sample into a 200 ml plastics beaker. Using a measuring cylinder, add 20 ml of
hydrochloric acid solution (1 + 1) (5.1) and 50 ml of warm water, and mix intimately. Allow to stand for
approximately 30 min± 2 min while stirring, to dissolve the soluble binder components.
Filter with a fine-textured filter paper and wash with warm dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 50) (5.2). Transfer the
filtrate and washings into a 250 ml volumetric flask, and dilute to the mark with water. Transfer into a plastics
bottle. This solution is referred to as the “test solution” for the determination of boron(III) oxide.

8 Blank solution
Carry out the procedure given in Clause 7 without the sample. This solution is referred to as the “blank solution”.
9 Classification of determination methods
The determination of boron(III) oxide is carried out using one of the following three methods.
a) Sodium hydroxide titrimetry.
NOTE This method is applied to the sample containing more than (mass fraction) of boron(III) oxide.
0,5 %
b) Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP/AES).
c) Curcumin absorption spectrophotometry (Rothocyanine method).
10 Determination of boron(III) oxide by sodium hydroxide titrimetry
10.1 Principle
A specified volume of test solution is taken and adjusted to pH approximately 5,0. The precipitate containing
silicic acid is filtered off. The filtrate's pH is adjusted to 6,3 and D(–)-mannitol is added to the filtrate. Then, the
+
H ions liberated by the mannitol in the solution are titrated with the sodium hydroxide standard solution until the
solution's pH becomes 6,3 again.
10.2 Reagents
10.2.1 Dilute hydrochloric acid.
Prepare dilute hydrochloric acid (1 + 50) as described in 5.2.
10.2.2 D(–)-Mannitol (C H O ).

10.2.3 Bromocresol purple (C H Br O S) solution, .1 g/l
21 16 2 5
Dissolve 0,1 g of bromocresol purple in water and dilute to approximately 100 ml. Keep this solution in the dark
at a low temperature for a maximum of 7 days.
10.2.4 Boron(III) oxide standard solution, 0,1 mgB O /ml.
2 3
Transfer approximately 0,5 g of boric acid into a 100 ml beaker, spread it as a thin layer and dry for 24 h in a
desiccator with silica gel desiccant. Weigh 0,177 6 g of this dry boric acid and transfer into a 200 ml plastics
beaker. Dissolve in approximately 100 ml of water and dilute precisely to 1 000 ml in a volumetric flask.
10.2.5 Sodium hydroxide standard volumetric solution.
Transfer 50 g of sodium hydroxide into a polyethylene bottle, add 50 ml of water, dissolve while cooling, and put
a seal on it. Keep the sealed bottle for several days, pipette 4,0 ml of the supernatant fraction, and dilute to
2 000 ml in a volumetric flask. Transfer this solution into a polyethylene bottle, using a 25 ml au
