EN 15451:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the chromatographic determination of the total amount of iron chelated by EDDHSA in commercial products. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1482-2, Fertilizers and liming materials — Sampling and sample preparation — Part 2: Sample preparation EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Principle The iron chelates are determined by ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography. When an iron chelate (anion) is added to a polar fluid (eluent), containing a large cation (ion-pair reagent), an ion pair is formed. This ion pair is retained by an apolar solid phase (stationary phase). The strength of the retention depends on the molecular size and its acidity. Each iron chelate presents a characteristic retention time and a characteristic spectrum depending on the chelating agent, and it is separated from the other substances present in the sample. The separation is carried out on a reverse phase silica column and an aqueous solution of TBA+ (tetrabutylammonium) and acetonitrile as eluent. The detection is based on photometry at 480 nm. For Fe3+/EDDHSA a gradient method is required. 4 Interferences No interferences have been detected. Iron chelates with o,o-EDDHA, o,p-EDDHA, o,o-EDDHMA, EDTA, DTPA, CDTA, HEDTA, as well as the chelating agents do not interfere since they are separated from Fe3+/EDDHSA. 5 Reagents 5.1 General a) All reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade. b) All water used for the preparation of eluent, standards, and sample solutions should be water grade1 according to EN ISO 3696:1995. c) When reagents with a declared purity of less than 99 % are used for the preparation of standard solutions, a correction should be made in order to obtain the required concentration in the solution. 5.2 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,5 mol/l Dissolve 20 g of NaOH in pellet form in a 1 litre-volumetric flask with water free of carbon dioxide. Dilute to the mark and homogenize. 5.3 Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 0,1 mol/l Dissolve 4 g of NaOH in pellet form in a 1 litre volumetric flask with water free of carbon dioxide. Dilute to the mark and homogenize. SIST EN 15451:2009



EN 15451:2008 (E) 5 5.4 Hydrochloric acid solution, c(HCl) = 1,0 mol/l Dilute 88 ml of hydrochloric acid (35 % HCl) to 1 000 ml with water. 5.5 Hydrochloric acid solution, c(HCl) = 0,1 mol/l Dilute 50 ml of hydrochloric acid (5.4) to 500 ml with water. 5.6 Iron (III) nitrate solution, (Fe) = 1 050 mg/l Dissolve 0,7594 g of iron (III) nitrate nonahydrate [Fe(NO3)3·9H2O] in 100 ml of water. Transfer to a 100 ml-volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and homogenize. Check (for example by AAS) that the Fe concentration of this solution is (1 050 ± 30) mg/l. As the Fe(NO3)3·9H2O is deliquescent, for preparation of the Fe3+/EDDHSA solution (5.7) it shall be added in solution of a known concentration. 5.7 Fe3+/EDDHSA solution, (Fe) = 100 mg/l Dissolve 0,233 0 g×100/P, where P is the complexometric purity of the standard in percentage of the acid form H6EDDHSA obtained by either manual or automatic photometric titration with a Fe(III)standard at constant pH = 6 (pH stat system), of ethylene diamine di(2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenyl) acetic acid and its condensation products (EDDHSA) in 150 ml of water and 2,7 ml of NaOH (5.2). After complete dissolution, add 25 ml of the Fe solution (5.6) to the chelating agent solution stirring about 5 min. The solution is adjusted to pH 7,0 with NaOH solution (5.3). Let the solution stand overnight in darkness to allow excess Fe to precipitate as oxide. Filter quantitatively through a cellulose filter and make up to volume (250 ml) with water. 5.8 Eluent for the determination Two solutions are used to make a linear gradient eluent: a) Solution A: Add 3,33 ml of TBAOH [40 % (mass fraction) Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution in water] to 500 ml of water. Adjust pH to 6,0 with HCl (5.4 and 5.5). Add 350 ml of acetonitrile (HPLC grade) and make up to volume in a 1 litre-volumetric flask with water. Filter through 0,2 µm membrane filter (6.4 b). b) Solution B: Add 3,33 ml of TBAOH [40 % (mass fraction) Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution in water] to 150 ml of water. Adjust pH to 6,0 with HCl (5.4 and 5.5). Add 750 ml of acetonitrile (HPLC grade) and make up to volume in a 1 litre-volumetric flask with water. F
