Transfer the test portion (7.1.1) into a 250 ml beaker. Add 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) and 10 ml of the nitric acid solution (4.4). Cover with a watch glass and heat gently until the test portion is completely dissolved. Allow to cool. If undissolved matter remains, indicating the presence of silicon, filter the solution. Place the filter paper and contained salts in a platinum crucible and ash, taking care that the filter does not flame. Calcine at about 550 °C. Cool and add 5 ml of hydrofluoric acid (4.5) and five drops of nitric acid (4.3). Evaporate to dryness and calcine again for several minutes at about 700 °C to completely volatilize the silicon. Cool, and then dissolve the residue with the least possible volume of nitric acid solution (4.4). Filter, if necessary, and add this filtrate quantitatively to the original filtrate. 7.1.3 Iron mass fractions between 0,005 %
