ISO 6101-4:1997 pdf download – Rubber -Determination of metal contentby atomic absorption spectrometry -Part 4: Determination of manganese content.
3 Principle
A test portion is ashed at 550 C ± 25 C in accordance with ISO 247:1990. method A. The ash is dissolved in hydrochloric acid. The solution is aspirated into an atomic absorption spoctronleter and the absorption is measured at a wavelength of 279.5 nm, using a manganese hollow-cathode Lamp as the manganese emission source Any silicates are volatilized by sulfuric arid hydrofluoric acid

4 Reagents
During the analysis. unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water rim waler of equivalent purity
4.1 HydrochlorIc acid. p= 1,18 Mgm3.
4.2 Hydrochloric acid, diluted 1 • 2.
Dilute 1 volume of concentrated hydrochloric acid (4 1) with 2 volumes of water.
4.3 Sulfuric acid, p – 1,84 Mgim3.
4.4 Sulfuric acid, diluted 1.3.
Add carefully I volume of concentrated sulfuric acid (4.3) In 3 volumes of water.
4.5 Hydrofluoric acid, p – I • 13 Mg!m3, 38% (rn/rn) to 40% (rn/rn).
4.6 Standard manganese stock solution, containing 1 g of Mn per cubic decimetre, Either use a commercially available standard manganese solution, or prepare as follows
Using electrolytic mangancoc of purity 90,9 %, free the surface of any manganese oxides by placing a few qrrns of the metal in a beaker containing 60 cm3 to 80 cm3 of I + 3 sulfuric acid (4.4) with about 100 cm3 of water. Stir and, slier a tow minutes. decant the acid solubon and pour water into the beaker. Repeat the decantation and washing with water several times. Then place the manganese metal in acetone and stir. Decant the acetone, dty the rrietal in a hot.air oven (5.13). maintained at 100 C ± 5 C. for about 2 mm and allow it tri cool in a
In a 600 cm3 tall.formn beaker, weigh, to the nearest 0.1 mg, 1 g of this purified manganese metal, end dissolve it with 40 cm of 1.3 sulfuric acid solution (4.4) and about 80 cr&J of water. Boil the solution for several minutes, Allow to cool and transfer quantitatively to a 1 000 cm3 one-mark volumetric flask (see 5.5). Dilute to the mark arid mix thoroughly.
1 cm1 of this standard stock solution contains 1 000 ig of Mn.
4.7 Standard manganese solution, containing 10 mg of Mn per cubic decinietre.
Carefully pipette 10cm3 of the standard manganese stock SOlution (4.6) into a 1 000 cm3 one-mark volumetnc flask (see 5.5). dilute to the mark with 1 + 2 hydrochloric sod (4.2) and mix
Prepare this solution on the clay of use.
