MELAMIN AND CERTAIN OTHER FIBRES

(Process with hot formic acid)

1. SCOPE

This procedure shall apply after removal of the non-fibrous matter for binary mixtures of:

1.

Melamin (41)

with

2.

Cotton (5) and aramid (27a).

2. BASIS OF THE PROCEDURE

The melamine fibers are dissolved out of a known dry mass of the mixture with the aid of hot formic acid (90% mass content).

The residue is collected, washed, dried and weighed; its mass, if appropriate after adjustment, is expressed as a percentage of the dry mass of the mixture. The proportion of the other constituents is determined by difference formation.

Note: It must not be deviated from the recommended temperature range, since the solubility of melamine is highly temperature-dependent.

3. EQUIPMENT AND REAGENTS (in addition to the generally referred to in general)

3.1.

Devices

i)

Erlenmeyer flask, minimum content 200 ml, with slip stopper.

ii)

Water bath shaker or other device for shaking and for heating the piston to 90 ± 2 ° C.

3.2.

Reagents

i)

Formic acid (90%, d20: 1,204 g/ml). 890 ml of 98-to 100% formic acid (d20: 1,220 g/ml) are made up to 1 liter with water.

When dealing with hot formic acid, extreme caution is required because of its highly corrosive effect.

ii)

Dilute ammonia: 80 ml of concentrated ammonia solution (d20: 0.880) are made up to 1 liter with water.

4. IMPLEMENTATION

Follow the analysis process described in the General Part and proceed as follows:

100 ml of formic acid per gram of sample are added to the sample contained in a 200 ml conical flask with a stopper. The flask is closed and shaken in order to completely wet the sample. The flask is shaken vigorously for one hour in a water bath shaker at 90 ± 2 ° C. The flask is then stirred for one hour at 90 ± 2 ° C. The flask is then allowed to cool to room temperature. Decanting the liquid over a weighed glass filter crucible. The residue in the flask is mixed with 50 ml of formic acid and shaken manually, then the contents of the flask are filtered through the glass filter crucible. Fibers that remain, for example, are transferred into the filter crucible by washing out the piston with some formic acid solution. The filter crucible is emptied under suction and the residue is washed out one after the other with formic acid, hot water, dilute ammonia solution and finally with cold water, whereby the crucible is emptied after each addition of liquid under suction. , but only after the respective washing solution has passed through its own weight. At the end, the crucible is emptied under suction, dried together with the residue, cooled and weighed.

Note: The solubility properties of melamine depend to a large extent on the temperature, which is why it is carefully monitored.

5. CALCULATION AND PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

The results shall be calculated in accordance with the calculation method in general. The value "d" for cotton and aramid is 1.02.

6. ACCURACY OF THE PROCEDURE

In the case of homogeneous textile mixtures, the reliability limits of the results of this procedure shall not exceed ± 2, with the statistical certainty being 95%. "
