11.5.2. Continue using the Bunsen burner to heat the sample until all excess sulfuric acid has
been volatilized.
11.6. Ignite in the muffle furnace at 600 ± 50 °C for 30 minutes or until all carbon has been removed.
11.7. Cool in the desiccator for a minimum of an hour and a half and reweigh.

SOLUBILITY (6M) Passes Test: 12.
12.1. Prepare a 6M solution of the specified sample (Solution may be scaled as needed). Solution
previously prepared for Absorbance (6M) may be utilized.
12.1.1. Accurately weigh 57.2g of sample into a 100 mL volumetric flask and Q.S. to the mark
with purified water.
12.1.2. Mix thoroughly.
12.2. Observe from all angles. Sample solution should be clear and colorless and comparable to the
color and turbidity of a sample of water visually.
SULFATE 0.01% max.: 13.
13.1. Sample Preparation:
13.1.1. Weigh 1.0g of sample and transfer to a 50 mL Nessler Color Comparison Tube. Dissolve
in 40mL of purified water.
13.2. Standard Preparation:
13.2.1. Prepare a standard solution by pipetting 0.052 mL of 0.020 N H2SO4 in a 50 mL Nessler
Color Comparison Tube. QS to 40 mL with purified water.
13.3. Procedure:
13.3.1. To both the sample and standard solutions, add 1 mL of 3 N HCl, 3 mL of Barium
Chloride TS and QS to the line.
13.3.2. Cover with parafilm and mix by inversion.
13.3.3. Compare turbidity 10 minutes after addition of the barium chloride to the sample and
standard solutions.
13.4. Any turbidity produced in the sample solution should not exceed that produced by the standard
when viewed from above against a black surface.
13.5. If turbidity of the sample solution exceeds that of the standard notify the QC Manager
immediately.
TRACE METALS REFER TO CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS: 14.

14.1.2.1. Before use, all plasticware that is not rated as “metal-free”, should first be
rinsed with purified water, rinsed with 15% Nitric Acid, and then rinsed again
with purified water. Plasticware rated as “metal-free” may be used as-is.
14.1.2.2. Glass should be avoided as it has high potential for metal and mineral
contaminations.
14.1.2.3. Standard and sample solutions should be prepared in 50mL centrifuge tubes.
14.1.3. 1% Nitric Acid
14.1.3.1. Measure 14.5 mL of Trace Metal Grade Nitric Acid and transfer to a rinsed
plastic 1000 mL volumetric flask. QS to 1000 mL with purified water.
14.1.4. 15% Nitric Acid
14.1.4.1. Dilute approximately 110 mL of Trace Metal Grade Nitric Acid to 500 mL
with purified water.
14.1.4.2. The solution is only used to rinse glassware and plasticware.
