Fertilizers - Determination of magnesium by atomic absorption spectrometry

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of the magnesium content in fertilizer extracts using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).
This method is applicable to EC fertilizer extracts obtained according to CEN/TS 15960 and CEN/TS 15961, for which a declaration of the total magnesium and/or water soluble magnesium content is required, with the exceptions of the following fertilizers according to [1] Annex I D relating to secondary nutrients:
-   type 4 (kieserite);
-   type 5 (magnesium sulfate) and type 5.1 (magnesium sulfate solution);
-   type 7 (kieserite with potassium sulfate)
to which [1], method 8.8, applies.
NOTE   Method 8.8 is covered by prCEN/TS 16198 (see Bibliography).
The method applies to all fertilizer extracts containing elements in quantities that might interfere with the complexometric determination of magnesium.

Düngemittel - Bestimmung von Magnesium mit Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie

NOTE La méthode 8.8 est abordée par la prCEN/TS 16198 (voir la Bibliographie).
La méthode s’applique à tous les extraits d'échantillons d’engrais contenant des éléments dans des quantités
susceptibles d’interférer avec le dosage complexométrique du magnésium.

Gnojila - Določevanje magnezija z atomsko absorpcijsko spektrometrijo

Ta tehnična specifikacija opredeljuje metodo določevanja vsebnosti magnezija v ekstraktih gnojil z uporabo atomske absorpcijske spektrometrije (AAS). Ta metoda velja za ekstrakte gnojil ES, pridobljene v skladu s CEN/TS 15960 in CEN/TS 15961, za katere je potrebna deklaracija o celotni vsebnosti magnezija in/ali vsebnosti v vodi topnega magnezija, razen naslednjih gnojil v skladu z dodatkom I D, ki se nanaša na sekundarna hranila: tip 4 (kiezerit); tip 5 (magnezijev sulfat) in tip 5.1 (raztopina magnezijevega sulfata); tip 7 (kiezerit s kalijevim sulfatom), za katerega se uporablja metoda 8.8.
