EN 13466-1:2001 (E)4IntroductionThe water content of fertilizers has a significant effect on their quality and, especially, their storage and handlingproperties.Water can be present in a number of forms such as free water, bound water and water of crystallization. It is oftenimportant to be able to distinguish between these forms of water. The gravimetric methods for determination ofwater standardized in EN 12048 and EN 12049 have only limited applicability.The Karl Fischer method is applicable to a wide range of fertilizers. However, there are several variations to thebasic technique, different formulations of the Karl Fischer reagents are commercially available and a number ofdifferent solvents can be used. In this standard, methanol and 2-propanol are used as extracting media todistinguish between the different forms of water present in fertilizers.EN 13466 "Fertilizers – Determination of water content (Karl Fischer methods)" consists of two parts: Part 1 : Methanol as extracting medium Part 2 : 2-propanol as extracting mediumAs examples of the difference between methanol and 2-propanol as extracting media methanol gives a result whichis a combination of free water and extracted water of crystallization from the following components of fertilizers:calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O); calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4·2H2O); calciumsulfate dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O)
calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4·0,5H2O); magnesium sulfateheptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O); potassium chloride magnesium sulfate water (1/1/2,75, Kainite,KCl·MgSO4·2,75H2O); potassium magnesium sulfate hexahydrate (Schoenite, K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O); potassiummagnesium sulfate tetrahydrate (Leonite, K2SO4·MgSO4·4H2O); potassium sulfate calcium sulfate monohydrate(Syngenite, K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O); potassium chloride magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O); magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).Extraction with 2-propanol gives a result which is a combination of free water and extracted water of crystallizationfrom the following components of fertilizers: calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O); magnesium sulfateheptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O); potassium chloride magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O);magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).SIST EN 13466-1:2002



EN 13466-1:2001 (E)51 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a Karl Fischer titrimetric method for the determination of the water content offertilizers based on the use of methanol as extracting medium.The method is applicable to all solid mineral fertilizers. The result (KFM water) includes "free" water and extractedwater of crystallization from the following components of fertilizers: calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O);calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4·2H2O); calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O), calciumsulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4·0,5H2O); magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O) ; potassium chloridemagnesium sulfate water (1/1/2,75, Kainite, KCl·MgSO4·2,75H2O); potassium magnesium sulfate hexahydrate(Schoenite, K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O); potassium magnesium sulfate tetrahydrate (Leonite, K2SO4·MgSO4·4H2O);potassium sulfate calcium sulfate monohydrate (Syngenite, K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O); potassium chloride magnesiumchloride hexahydrate (Carnallite, KCl·MgCl2·6H2O); magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O).Metal oxides and hydroxides soluble in methanol and pyridine will have an effect which can be corrected for, if theircontent is known.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
