EN 459-2:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes the test methods for all building limes covered by EN 459-1:2010. This European Standard specifies the methods used for the chemical analyses and the determination of physical properties of building limes. This document describes the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent. In the case of a dispute, only the reference methods are used. Any other methods may be used provided they are calibrated, either against the reference methods or against internationally accepted reference materials, in order to demonstrate their equivalence. 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.

4 General requirements for testing 4.1 Number of tests Analysis of a building lime may require the determination of a number of its chemical properties. For each determination one or more tests shall be carried out in which the number of measurements to be taken shall be as specified in the relevant clause of this standard. Where the analysis is one of a series subject to statistical control, determination of each chemical property by a single test shall be the minimum required. SIST EN 459-2:2010
EN 459-2:2010 (E) 7 Where the analysis is not part of a series subject to statistical control, the number of tests for determination of each chemical property shall be 2 (see also 4.3). In the case of a dispute, the number of tests for determination of each chemical property shall be 2 (see also 4.3). 4.2 Repeatability and reproducibility Repeatability — Precision under repeatability conditions where independent test results are obtained with the same method on identical test items (material) in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within short intervals of time. Reproducibility — Precision under reproducibility conditions where test results are obtained with the same method on identical test items (material) in different laboratories with different operators using different equipment. Repeatability and reproducibility in this document (see Annex B) are expressed as repeatability standard deviation(s) and reproducibility standard deviation(s) in e.g. absolute percent, grams, etc., according to the property tested. 4.3 Expression of masses, volumes, factors and results Express masses in grams to the nearest 0,001 g and volumes from burettes in millilitres to the nearest 0,05 ml. Express the factors of solutions, given by the mean of three measurements, to three decimal places. Express the results, where a single test result has been obtained, as a percentage generally to two decimal places. Express the results, where two test results have been obtained, as the mean of the results, as a percentage generally to two decimal places. If the two test results differ by more than twice the standard deviation of repeatability, repeat the test and take the mean of the two closest test results. The results of all individual tests shall be recorded. 4.4 Blank determinations Carry out a blank determination without a sample, where relevant, following the same procedure and using the same amounts of reagents. Correct the results obtained for the analytical determination accordingly. 4.5 Reagents Use only reagents of analytical quality. References to water mean distilled or deionised water having an electrical conductivity ≤ 0,5 mS/m. Unless otherwise stated percent means percent by mass. For the concentrated liquids used to make up the reagents in this standard the densities (ρ) are given in grams per millilitre at 20 °C. The degree of dilution is always given as a volumetric sum, for example: dilute hydrochloric acid 1 + 2 means that one volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid is to be mixed with two volumes of water. The concentrations of reference and standard volumetric solutions are specified as amount-of-substance concentrations, c (mol/l). SIST EN 459-2:2010
EN 459-2:2010 (E) 8 4.6 Evaluation of test results 4.6.1 General The chemical requirements for building limes are specified in EN 459-1:2010, Tables 2, 9, 16, 20 and 24. 4.6.2 Test results for quicklime For quicklime the specified values correspond to the finished product. 4.6.3 Test results for all other types For all other types (hydrated lime, lime putty, milk of lime, lime with hydraulic properties) the values are based on the product after subtraction of its free water and bound water content. The values obtained by application of procedures described in this European Standard for total calcium oxide and magnesium oxide (5.2), magnesium oxide (5.2), sulfate (5.3) and carbon dioxide (5.5 or 5.6) are for the products without subtraction of the free water and bound water content. To compare these values with EN 459-1:2010, Tables 2 or 9, they shall first be corrected by multiplication by factor F. Factor F shall be determined in the following way: Determine the carbon dioxide content as described in 5.5 or 5.6 and the loss on ignition as described in 5.7. The loss on ignition is the sum of the free water, bound water and carbon dioxide, provided that the sample does not contain any highly volatile compounds or oxidizable constituents. Calculate the total (free + bound) water content WT as a mass fraction in percent of the sample using: WT = loss on ignition in % − carbon dioxide content in percent (1) Calculate the factor F from the following equation: F = 100/(100 – WT) (2) 4.6.4 Test results for available lime The values for available lime, obtained by the application of the procedure described in 5.8 correspond to either available CaO for quicklime or available Ca(OH)2 for all other types (hydrated lime, lime putty, milk of lime, lime with hydraulic properties). 5 Chemical analysis 5.1 Extraction with hydrochloric acid 5.1.1 General Extraction with hydrochloric acid is used to dissolve building lime in order to determine calcium oxide and magnesium oxide. 5.1.2 Principle The sample is boiled with hydrochloric acid and the solution filtered. The pH value is adjusted to 6 to 7 to precipitate the iron (III) and aluminium oxides. After refiltering, the filtrate is transferred to a suitable volumetric flask.

Make the solution up to about 100 ml with water then boil it for 10 min. After boiling, filter the solution immediately through a fluted filter paper (particle retention size 2,5 µm) into a 400 ml beaker and wash the residue well with hot water. Add about 4 g of ammonium chloride (5.1.3.6) and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide (5.1.3.3) to the solution, then dilute with about 150 ml of water and heat to boiling. During boiling, add ammonium hydroxide solution (5.1.3.4) to adjust the pH value to 6 to 7 and precipitate aluminium hydroxides and iron hydroxides and the soluble silicic acid. Continue boiling for 3 min and, after the precipitate has settled, filter the solution immediately through a fluted filter paper (particle retention size 2,5 µm) into a 500 ml volumetric flask. Wash the filter residue three times with ammonium hydroxide solution (5.1.3.5) and three times with water. After the solution has cooled to room temperature, make the solution up to the mark with water and shake the contents of the flask thoroughly. This solution (V1) is ready for further chemical analyses. 5.2 Calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) 5.2.1 General The method is suitable for determining calcium oxide and magnesium oxide. 5.2.2 Principle Calcium oxide is first determined in an aliquot of the test solution by complexation titration with EDTA solution at a pH value of 13, the colour change of a calcium-specific indicator being used to indicate the end point. During the titration, the EDTA first reacts with the free calcium ions and then with the calcium ions bonded to the indicator, causing the colour of the latter to change sharply from wine red to blue. SIST EN 459-2:2010
EN 459-2:2010 (E) 10 In the same way, the total calcium oxide and magnesium oxide (Σ CaO + MgO) is determined at a pH value of 10 by titration with EDTA using Eriochrome Black T as indicator. During the titration, the EDTA first reacts with the free calcium and magnesium ions and then with those bonded to the indicator, causing the colour of the latter to change from red to blue. The difference in the amount-of-substance concentrations, c (CaO + MgO) and c (CaO), gives the magnesium content, c (MgO). 5.2.3 Reagents 5.2.3.1 Hydrochloric acid, ρ (HCI) = 1,16 g/ml to 1,19 g/ml. 5.2.3.2 Hydrochloric acid, diluted, 1 + 1. 5.2.3.3 Triethanolamine, c [N(C2H5OH)3] = 99 %. 5.2.3.4 Triethanolamine solution, diluted, 1 + 1. 5.2.3.5 Sodium hydroxide solution, c (NaOH) = 4 mol/l. 5.2.3.6 Ammonium hydroxide solution, c (NH4OH) = 25 %. 5.2.3.7 Ammonium chloride, NH4Cl.

Adjust the pH value of the solution to (12,5 ± 0,5) with sodium hydroxide solution (5.2.3.5) using a pH meter. Add 0,1 g of calconcarboxylic indicator (5.2.3.13) and titrate with the EDTA solution being standardized until the colour changes to blue.

During titration the pH-value shall not fall below 12,0. 5.2.5.2 Determination of total CaO and MgO content Transfer about 150 ml of water and 25 ml (V5) of the solution prepared in accordance with 5.1.5 to a 400 ml beaker. Add 5 ml of triethanolamine solution (5.2.3.4) and adjust the pH value of the solution to (10,5 ± 0,5) with buffer solution (5.2.3.10) using a pH-meter. Then add about 90 % of the volume of EDTA solution used during the calcium oxide titration (as described in 5.2.5.1) and, after adding 0,1 g of Eriochrome Black T indicator (5.2.3.14), titrate the solution until the colour changes from wine red to blue.
