Silica LR
Reagent set for the photometric determination of the silica content in boiler feed water and ultrapure water.

Measuring range:

0.02–2.10 mg/L SiO2
0.01–1.00 mg/L Si

Method:
Photometric determination of the silica content using the silicomolybdic acid method analogous to APHA 4500‑Si E and DIN 38 405 – D21.

Hazard warning:
Information regarding safety can be found on the box’ label and in the safety data sheet. You can download the SDS from www.mn-net.com/SDS.

Procedure:
We recommend mixing the sample solution and the reagents in a plastic beaker and transferring the solution to the cuvette directly before measuring.

Requisite accessories: 2 test tubes 16 mm OD (REF 91680) or 2 test tubes 24 mm OD (REF 936101)

Rinse test tube several times with sample (pH value of sample must be between pH 3 and 13)
Blank (optional):
Fill one test tube with 5 mL of sample
Clean test tube
Place test tube in photometer as blank value and adjust for zero
Sample:
Fill another test tube with 5 mL of sample
Add 5 drops of molybdate reagent
Close test tube and shake well
Wait for 2 min
Add content of 1 Powder Pillow “citric acid reagent”
Close test tube and shake well
Wait for 1 min
Add content of 1 Powder Pillow “ascorbic acid reagent”
Close test tube and shake well
Clean test tube
Wait for a 3-min reaction time
Measure

Measurement

See manual for all MACHEREY-NAGEL photometers. Work should be performed quickly, since if the sample is allowed to remain in the test tube for a longer period of time, silica can be released from the glass of the test tube It should additionally be ensured that any distilledwater used for dilution is silica-free (REF 918912). After use, rinse out test tubes thoroughly and seal them This method is also suitable for the analysis of sea water.

Interferences

The following will not interfere: < 10 mg/L PO4 3– The following will interfere: large amounts of Fe2+/3+, large amounts of oxidising agents, sulphides According to APHA 4500‑Si D, there is a modification of the silica which does not react with molybdate. This molybdate- unreactive form can be converted into the reactive species through heating or fusing with a base (e.g. digestion with sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3).

Disposal of samples:
Information regarding disposal can be found in the safety data sheet. You can download the SDS from www.mn-net.com/SDS.
