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 21079-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 33, Refractories.
ISO 21079 consists of the following parts, under the general title Chemical analysis of refractories containing
alumina, zirconia, and silica — Refractories containing 5 % to 45 % of ZrO (alternative to the X-ray
2
fluorescence method):
⎯ Part 1: Apparatus, reagents and dissolution

Transfer 20 ml of the silicon(IV) oxide standard solution (SiO 1 mg/ml) into a 250 ml volumetric flask, and
2
dilute to the mark with water.
3.1.2.3 Matrix solution 1 or 1’.
Carry out the procedure given in 9.2.2.3 or 9.2.3.3 of ISO 21079-1:2008 without the sample, but omit heating
the fusion mixture or anhydrous sodium carbonate. Designate the solution equivalent to stock solution (S1) or
(S’1) as matrix solution 1 or 1’ as applicable.
3.1.2.4 Series 2 solution for calibration.
Transfer appropriate aliquot portions of diluted silicon(IV) oxide standard solution (0,08 mg/ml) precisely into
several 100 ml volumetric flasks, in accordance with the composition of the samples. Add 10 ml each of matrix
solution 1 or 1’ and dilute to the mark with water.
Table 1 shows a typical example of the preparation of solutions. An appropriate series of solutions for
calibration should be prepared, depending on the compositions of the samples and the types and capabilities
of instrument used.

Determine the silicon(IV) oxide remaining in solution (S1) or (S’1) (see Annex A of ISO 21079-1:2008) as
follows.
Transfer 10 ml of stock solution (S1) or (S’1) to a 100 ml volumetric flask, and dilute to the mark with water.
Designate this solution for the determination of dissolved silicon(IV) oxide as diluted stock solution (S1d) or
(S’1d).
Spray a portion of diluted stock solution (S1d or S’1d) into the argon plasma flame of the inductively coupled
plasma atomic emission (ICP-AE) spectrometer, and measure the emission intensity at an appropriate
wavelength, for example, 251,611 nm.
3.1.4 Blank test
Carry out the procedure in 3.1.3 with blank solution (B1) or (B’1) (see Annex A of ISO 21079-1:2008).
Designate the equivalent diluted blank solution to diluted stock solution (S1d) or (S'1d) as diluted blank
solution (B1d or B'1d).

Using the series 2 solution for calibration, carry out the emission procedure described in 3.1.3. Plot the
relation between the emission intensity and mass of oxide, prepare the calibration graph by adjusting the
curve so that it passes through the point of origin.
A new calibration should be carried out using the range of calibration and blank solutions for each set of
determinations.
3.1.6 Calculation
Calculate the mass fraction of silicon(IV) oxide, w(SiO ), expressed as a percentage, using Equation (1) with
