Fertilizers and liming materials - Determination of chromium(VI) by photometry (method A) and by ion chromatography with spectrophotometric detection (method B)

This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the content of soluble chromate in fertilizers and liming materials.
Method A specifies the determination of chromate after extraction with water by photometry. This method can be used to determine Cr(VI)-mass fractions in solids higher than 1 mg/kg.
Method B specifies the determination of chromate by alkaline digestion and ion chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. This method can be used to determine Cr(VI)-mass fractions in solids higher than 0,1 mg/kg.
NOTE 1   In case of reducing or oxidizing fertilizer matrix, no valid Cr(VI) content can be reported.
NOTE 2   The term fertilizer is used throughout the body of this European Standard and includes liming materials unless otherwise indicated.

Düngemittel und Kalkdünger - Bestimmung von Chrom (VI) mit Photometrie (Verfahren A) und mit Ionenchromatographie mit spektrometrischer Detektion (Verfahren B)

Diese Europäische Norm legt zwei Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehalts an löslichem Chromat in Düngemitteln und Kalkdüngern fest."
Verfahren A legt die Bestimmung von Chromat nach Extraktion mit Wasser durch Photometrie fest. Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für die Bestimmung von Chrom(VI)-Massenanteilen von mehr als 1 mg/kg in Feststoffen.
Verfahren B legt die Bestimmung von Chromat durch alkalischen Aufschluss und Ionenchromatographie mit spektrometrischer Detektion fest. Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für die Bestimmung von Chrom(VI)-Massenanteilen von mehr als 0,1 mg/kg in Feststoffen.
ANMERKUNG 1 " Bei Vorliegen einer reduzierenden oder oxidierenden Düngemittelmatrix kann der Chrom(VI)-Gehalt nicht zuverlässig ermittelt werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Der Begriff Düngemittel ist durchgängig in dieser Europäischen Norm verwendet worden und schließt, wenn nicht anders angegeben, die Kalkdünger mit ein."

Engrais et amendements minéraux basiques - Dosage du chrome (VI) par spectrophotométrie (méthode A) et chromatographie ionique avec détection spectrophotométrique (méthode B)

La présente Norme européenne spécifie deux méthodes pour la détermination de la teneur en chromate soluble dans les engrais et les amendements minéraux basiques.
La méthode A présente la détermination du chromate après extraction avec de l'eau par spectrophotométrie. Cette méthode peut être utilisée afin de déterminer les fractions massiques de Cr(VI) supérieures à 1 mg/kg dans les solides.
La méthode B présente la détermination du chromate par digestion alcaline et chromatographie ionique avec détection spectrophotométrique. Cette méthode peut être utilisée afin de déterminer les fractions massiques de Cr(VI) supérieures à 0,1 mg/kg dans les solides.
NOTE 1   En cas de matrice d'engrais oxydante ou réductrice, aucune teneur en Cr(VI) valide ne peut être énoncée.
NOTE 2   Le terme engrais est utilisé tout au long du corps de la présente Norme européenne et inclut les amendements minéraux basiques sauf indication contraire.

Gnojila in sredstva za apnjenje - Določevanje kroma (VI) s fotometrijo (metoda A) in z ionsko kromatografijo s spektrofotometrijsko detekcijo (metoda B)

Ta evropski standard določa dve metodi za določevanje vsebnosti topnega kromata v gnojilih in sredstvih za apnjenje.
Metoda A določa določevanje kromata po vodni ekstrakciji s fotometrijo. Ta metoda se lahko uporablja za določevanje masnih deležev Cr(VI), višjih od 1 mg/kg, v trdnih snoveh.
Metoda B določa določevanje kromata z alkalnim razklopom in ionsko kromatografijo s spektrofotometrijsko detekcijo. Ta metoda se lahko uporablja za določevanje masnih deležev Cr(VI), višjih od 0,1 mg/kg, v trdnih snoveh.
OPOMBA 1: V primeru zmanjšanja ali oksidacije matrice gnojila ni mogoče poročati o veljavni vsebnosti Cr(VI).
OPOMBA 2: Izraz »gnojilo« se uporablja v celotnem glavnem delu tega evropskega standarda in vključuje sredstva za apnjenje, če ni navedeno drugače.

6 Method B: Determination by alkaline digestion and ion chromatography with spectrophotometric detection 6.1 Principle 6.1.1 Digestion Cr(VI) is digested from the sample by an alkaline solution. To quantify the content of Cr(VI) in a solid matrix, the following three criteria shall be satisfied: a) the digestion solution shall solubilize all species of Cr(VI); b) the conditions of the digestion shall not induce reduction of native Cr(VI) to Cr(III); c) the method shall not cause oxidation of native Cr(III) contained in the sample to Cr(VI). The alkaline digestion described in this document meets these criteria for a wide spectrum of solid matrices. Under the alkaline conditions, neglect able reduction of Cr(VI) or oxidation of native Cr(III) is expected. The addition of Mg2+ in a phosphate buffer to the alkaline solution prevents air oxidation of trivalent chromium (see [7], [8] and [9]). NOTE Background on methods for the determination of Cr(VI) in solid samples is given in EN 15192:2006, Annex D and [10], [11], [8]. 6.1.2 Determination The quantification of Cr(VI) in the alkaline digestion solution should be performed using a suitable technique with appropriate accuracy. For this purpose, ion chromatography is used to separate Cr(VI) from interferences. Following this ion chromatographic separation, Cr(VI) is measured spectrophotometrically either at 365 nm (direct UV detection) or after post-column derivatization with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide in acid solution at 540 nm.
