7 Indian Standard IS : 5425 ( Part 4 ) METHODS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF MISCH METAL PART 4 DETERMINATION OF ALUMINIUM 0. FOREWORD 0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) was adopted by Indian Standards Institution on 16 January 1987, after the draft finalized by the Methods of Chemical Analysis of Non-Ferrous Metals Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division Council. 0.2 Misch metal is an alloy of rare earth metals and is used for improving the strength, fluidity and other properties of cast iron, steel, aluminium, magnesium and nickel alloys to which it is added. Chemical analysis of misch metal is covered in parts. In this part, a method for determination of aluminium has been covered. Other parts are: Part 1 Determination Part 2 Determination Part 3 Determination Part 5 Determination of cerium of rare earths of iron of carbon 0.3 In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard; if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS : *. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) covers the method for determination of aluminium in misch metal as specified in IS : f. 2. QUALITY OF REAGENTS 2.1 Unless specified otherwise, analytical grade reagents and distilled water ( see IS : $ ) shall be employed in the test. *Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised for misch metal. $Specification for water, for general laboratory use ( second revision ). 3

8 IS : 5425 ( Part 4 ) DETERMINATION OF ALUMINIUM BY SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD 3.1 Outline of the Method - Aluminium is extracted as its oxinate at ph 5 0 keeping iron complexed with 0-phenanthroline. The absorbance of the extracted aluminium oxinate is measured at 395 nm. 3.2 Reagents Dilute Hydrochloric Acid - 1:l ( V/V ) Hydroxylamine Hydrochloride - Dissolve 10 g of the reagent in 100 ml water O-phenanthroline - Dissolve 1 g of the reagent in a litre of water Acetate Buffer - Mix 70 ml of sodium acetate solution ( 0 2 M ) with 30 ml acetic acid ( 0 2 M ) Oxine Solution - Dissolve 0 5 g in 50 ml of chloroform as and when required Standard Aluminium Solution - Dissolve g of cleaned aluminium foil ( purity = 99 9 percent ) in 25 ml dilute hydrochloric acid ( 1:l ). Evaporate it to dryness on a water bath. Add 1 ml of concentrate hydrochloric acid ( rd = 1 16 ) and make up the volume to 500 ml with water. ( 1 0 ml contains 1 0 mg of Al ). This solution is further diluted as and when required to give 10 p g of Al/ml. 3.3 Procedure Weigh g of the sample into a beaker. Add 50 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid and dissolve the sample. Make up the volume to 200 ml in a volumetric flask Take 1 0 ml of the sample solution from in a beaker and add 5 ml of hydroxylamine-hydrochloride and 20 ml of a O-phenanthroline. Adjust the ph to 4 0 and transfer the solution to a loo-ml separating funnel Add 10 ml of buffer followed by 10 0 ml of oxine solution Shake for 3 minutes., run the chloroform extract into a small stoppered dry flask contatnmg 1 g of anhydrous sodium sulphate and shake to remove the droplet of water Measure the absorbance of chloroform solution at 395 nm against a reagent blank prepared by following to Take aliquots of standard aluminium solution and follow to Plot the absorbance against the amount of aluminium taken. 4
