Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FORNICOTINE SULPHATE SOLUTION
( First Revision) sO. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 29 ~une 1984, after the draft finalized by the PestControl Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural andFood Products Division Council and the Chemical Division Council.
0.2 Nicotine sulphate solution is exte~sively used in the control of insectpests of agricultural importance. It 1s manufactured from waste tobaccoand from the liquors obtained from factories making chewing and smokingtobacco. The waste tobacco 1Smacerated with water and lime, and thensteam-distilled. The distillate is neutralized with sulphuric acid andconcentrated.
0.3 This standard was first published ~n 1957. Subsequently one amend-ment was issued, This standard is being revised to make its requirementsuptodate.
0.4 Nicotine sulphate solution is manufactured to contain 40 percent( mjm ) of nicotine.
0.5 In the preparation of this standard, due consideration has been givento the provisions of the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the Rules framedthereunder. FIowever, thk standard is subject to the restrictions imposedunder these, wherever applicable.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with1S: 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the. same as that of the specified v?IY? in thl$ standard.

Each container may also be marked with the 1S1 Certification
NOTE — ‘l%euse of the 1S[ Certification Mark is governed by the provisions ofthe Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules andRegulations made thereunder. The 1S1Mark on products covered by an IndianStandard conveys the assurance that they have been produed to comply with therequirementsof that.standard undera well-definedsystem of inspection, testing andquality control wh;ch IS devised and su~rvised by 1S1 and operated by theproducer. 1S1marked products are also cent].nuouslychecked by ISI for conformityto that standard as a furthersa:eguard. Detads of conditions, under which a licencefor the. use of the 1S1 Certdicatlon Mark may be granted to ~nufacturers orprocessors, may be obtained from the Indian StandardsInstitution.

4. SAMPLING
4.1 Representative samples of the material shallbe drawn as prescribed in1S : 10627-1983*.
5. TESTS
5.1 Tests shall be carried out by appropriate methods referred to, in 2.2and 2.3.
5.2 Quality of Reagents — Unless specified otherwise, pure chemicals anddistilled water ( see 1S : 1070-1977T ) shall be employed in tests. I
NOTS— ‘Purechemicals’ sha!l mean chemicals that do not contain impuritieswhich affect the results of analysis.
APPENDIXA
( Clause 2.2 )
DETERMINATION OF NICOTINE CONTENT
A-1. METHOD
A-1.l The method consists in steam distilling the nicotine from analkaline medium, converting it into a salt by collecting the distillate in anacid medium, precipitating with silicotungstic acid and finally weighingthe precipitate.
A-2.3 Phenolphthalein Indicator Solution — 1“O percent ( m/v). Dissolve1 g of .pbcnolphthalein in 60 ml of rectified spirit and dilute to 100 mlwith water.
A-2.4 Dilute Hydrochloric Acid – ( 1:4 ) and ( 1:1 000) by volume.
A-1.5 Silicotungstic Acid Solution — Dissolve 120 g of silicotungstic acid( 4Ha0.Si02. 12WOt.22H20 t in water and dilute to one Iitre. The solutionshould be free from cloudiness and green in colour.
NOTE — The silicotungstic acid should be white or pale yellow crystals free fromgreen colour. Of the several silicotungstic acids, 4H,0.SiO,. 10WO,.3HSO and 4H,0.SiO,. 12W08. 20H,0 do not give crystalline precipitates with nicotine and shouldpot be used.
*Methods for sampling of pesticidal formulations.tSpecitication for water for general laboratory We ( s~con~ revisfo~ ),
A-3.1 Weigh accurately 0’5 to 1“0 g of the material in a suitable taredweighing tube. Quantitatively transfer the weighed material to a S00 mlICjeldahl flask using water to wash the last traces of the material into theflask. If necessary, add to the contents of the Kjeldahl flask a little ofliquid paraffin to prevent frothing during distillation, add a few small ‘pieces of pumi~e. to prevent bumping. Make the contents of the flaskalkaline by adding a slight excess of sodium hydroxide solution, usingphentalphthalein as ind!cator. Fit the mouth of the Kjeldahl flask with atwo-holed rubber stopper through which passes the stem of a trap bulband an inlet tube for steam. Connect the free end of the trap bulb to awell cooled condenser, the lower end of which dips below the surface of10 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid ( 1:4 ) contained in a suitable receivingflask. Connect the inlet tube to the source of steam and distd rapidly withthe current of steam. When the distillation is well under way, heat theKjehlahl flask using a Bunsen burner to reduce the volume of the contentsof the flask as far as practicable without causing bumping or undueseparation of insoluble matter. Continue the distillation until a smallquantity of the distillate shows no cloudiness or opalescence when treatedwith a drop of silicotungstic acid solution and a drop of dilute hydro-chloric acid (1:4). Confirm the alkalinity of the residue in the Kjeldahlflask with phenolphthalcin indicator solution. Reduce the volume of thedistillate by concentrating it on a steam bath ( see Note) and make upthe volume of the concentrating distillate to a convenient volume in avolumetric flask with water at room temperature. Thoroughly mix thecontents of the volumetric flask and filter through a dry filter paper, if itis not clear. Collect the filtrate in a convenient fisk. Test a portion ofthis filtrate with methyl orange indicator solution to confirm its acidity.
NOTE—By heating on a steam bath the nicotine content of the distillate is notaffected.
A-3.2 Pipette an aliquot ( see Note) of the filtrate, containing about 0“1g of nicotine, into a beaker and add at the rate of 3 ml of dilute hydrochloricacid { 1:4) for each 100 ml of the aliquot and one milli)tre of silicotungsticacid solution for every 0“01 g of nicotine supposed to be present in thealiquot. Stir the contents of the beaker thoroughly and let stand overnightat room temperature. Before filtering, stir the contents of the beaker to seethat the precipitate settles down quickly and is in a crystalline f6rm, Filterthe contents of the beaker throtlgh an ashh?ss filter paper. Wash ,all theresidue remaining in the beaker on to the filter using dilute hydrochloricacid ( 1:1 000 ) at room temperature. Wash the filter with dilute hydro-chloric acid ( 1:1000) until a few millilitres of the filtrate from the tiil of the

fun@ do not produce a precipitate or opalescence when tested with a fewdrops of the distillate containing nicotine ( see A-3.1). Transfer the Merpaper containing the precipitate to a tared platinium crucible, drylcttrefullyand ignite the filter paper until all carbon is oxidized. Finally heat theplatinum crucible over a Meker burner for not more than 10 minutes.Cool the crucible in a desiccator and weigh.
NOTE — If the nicotine content of the material is very low, an aliquot containingat least 0“01 g of nicotine should be used.
