EN 15477:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of water-soluble potassium, which is applicable to all potassium fertilizers listed in Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 [3]. 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. EN 1482-2, Fertilizers and liming materials — Sampling and sample preparation — Part 2: Sample preparation EN 12944-1:1999, Fertilizers and liming materials and soil improvers — Vocabulary — Part 1: General terms EN 12944-2:1999, Fertilizers and liming materials and soil improvers — Vocabulary — Part 2: Terms relating to fertilizers
EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12944-1:1999 and EN 12944-2:1999 apply. 4 Principle The potassium in the sample to be analyzed is dissolved in water. After eliminating or fixing the substances that might interfere with the quantitative determination, the potassium is precipitated in a slightly alkaline medium in the form of potassium tetraphenylborate. 5 Reagents 5.1 General Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and distilled or demineralized water (grade 3 according to EN ISO 3696:1995). 5.2 Formaldehyde, clear formaldehyde solution with a mass fraction of 25 % to 35 % formaldehyde. 5.3 Potassium chloride, p. a. 5.4 Sodium hydroxide solution, c = 10 mol/l. Care should be taken to ensure that only potassium free sodium hydroxide is used. 5.5 Indicator solution Dissolve 0,5 g of phenolphthalein in ethanol at 90 % and make the volume up to 100 ml.

Store the reagent in a plastics container. 5.7 STPB solution Dissolve 32,5 g of sodium tetraphenylborate in 480 ml of water, add 2 ml of the sodium hydroxide solution (5.4) and 20 ml of a magnesium chloride solution (100 g of MgCl2 6H2O per litre). Stir for 15 min and filter through a fine, ashless filter. Store this reagent in a plastics container. 5.8 Liquid for washing Dilute 20 ml of the STPB solution (5.7) to 1 000 ml with water. 5.9 Bromine water, saturated bromine solution in water. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Graduated flasks, capacity 1 000 ml. 6.2 Beaker, capacity 250 ml and 600 ml. 6.3 Filter crucibles, porosity 5 µm to 20 µm. 6.4 Oven, regulated at (120 ± 10) °C. 6.5 Desiccator 7 Sampling and sample preparation Sampl
