ASTM E278-01 Test Method provides a measure to determine the phosphorus in iron ores by using Phosphomolybdate Coprecipitation and Nitric Acid Titrimetry.

ASTM E278-01 Test Method provides a measure to determine the phosphorus in iron ores by using Phosphomolybdate Coprecipitation and Nitric Acid Titrimetry.
Scope:
ASTM E278-01 Test Method covers the determination of phosphorus in iron ores, concentrates, and agglomerates. The phosphorus is measured from the range ( 0.01 % to 1.00 %).
Test Procedure:
In ASTM E278-01 test method, the sample is dissolved in HCl and HNO3. After the addition of HClO4, the solution is evaporated to strong fumes to dehydrate the silica. The insoluble residue is filtered off, ignited, and treated for the recovery of any contained phosphorus. Ammonium molybdate is added to precipitate phosphomolybdate. The precipitate is filtered off and washed free from acid. It is then dissolved in excess of standard sodium hydroxide solution. The excess sodium hydroxide is titrated with a standard solution of HNO3 using phenolphthalein as an indicator.

Specimen size:
A pulverized Iron ore sample weight ±25 mg
Data:
Calculate the percent of phosphorus as follows:
Where:
A = standard NaOH solution used, mL,
B = standard HNO3 required for titration of the excess of NaOH in the test sample, mL,
C = standard NaOH solution equivalent to 1 mL of the standard HNO3, mL,
D = standard NaOH solution required for blank determination, mL,
E = standard HNO3 required for titration of the excess NaOH in blank determination, mL,
F = phosphorus equivalent of the standard NaOH solution, g/mL, and
G = weight of test sample used
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
