1.1.1. Determination of the total content of BaO + PbO
One weighs approximately 0.5 grams of glass powder on 0.0001 grams and brings it into a platinum capsule. After wetting with water, 10 ml of a sulphuric acid solution is added 15% and 10 ml of hydrofluoric acid. The whole was heating up in a sandbath until white fumes arose. Let cool and retreat with 10 ml of hydrofluoric acid. Then again heating up to the formation of white fumes. Allow to cool down and sprinkle the walls of the capsule with water. Once again heating up until white fumes emerge. Allow to cool, carefully add 10 ml of water and then pour over into a 400 ml beaker. The capsule is rinsed several times with a 10% sulphuric acid solution after which up to 100 ml is diluted with the same solution. Cook for 2-3 minutes and rest for a night.
Filtration is filtered through a filter gel with porosity 4, then washing the filtrate first with a 10% sulphuric acid solution and then 2 to 3 times ethyl alcohol. Then dry it at 150 ° C for an hour in the dryer cabinet. Then, the BaSO4 + PbSO4 is weighed.
1.1.2. Determination of BaO
Approximately 0.5 grams of glass powder is weighed accurately at 0.0001 grams and brought into a platinum capsule. This is moistened with water after which 10 ml of hydrofluoric acid and 5 ml of perchloric acid is added. The whole is heated in a sand bath until white fumes emerge.
Let cool and re-add 10 ml of fluorohydroric acid. Heat up until white fumes occur again. Allow to cool down and sprinkle the walls of the capsule with distilled water. After that, heat again and evaporate to almost dry. Add 50 ml of hydrochloric acid 10% and heat the light to promote the solution. Pour in a 400 ml beaker and dilute with water up to 200 ml. Bring to the boil and have a sulfur hydrogen stream through the hot solution. As soon as the lead sulfide is deposited on the bottom of the vessel, the gas flow is shut down. Filter by means of filter paper with dense tissue and wash with cold water saturated with hydrogen sulphuric acid.
The filtrates are boiled and possibly to be swallowed up to 300 ml. At the time of cooking, 10 ml of a 10% sulphuric acid solution shall be added. The solution is taken from the fire and one is left to stand for at least four hours.
Filtering through filter paper with dense tissue is filtered, then washed with cold water. The precipitation shall be calcined at 1,050 ° C and the BaSO4is weighed.
The filtrates from the separation of the BaSO4 are to be evaporated to a volume of 200 ml. In the presence of methyl red, neutralised with ammonia and 20 ml of sulphuric acid 0,1 n is added. The pH will then be adjusted to 2 by adding 0,1 n sulphuric acid or 0,1 n sodium hydroxide and then precipice the zinc sulphide by passing a sulphuric hydrogen stream. The precipitation is collected on a filter paper with dense tissue during the four hours of precipitation. Cold water is weeded with swished hydrogen. The precipitate on the filter is dissolved by pouring 25 ml of a warm 10% chlorine hydrogen acid solution. The filter will then be washed with boiling water until a volume of approximately 150 ml is obtained. It is neutralised with ammonia in the presence of litmus paper, after which 1 to 2 grams of fixed urotropin is added to determine the pH at about 5. A few drops of a freshly prepared, aqueous 0,5% dimethylphenolian orange solution are added and titrates with a solution of complexion III 0.1 n until the pink omits to lemon yellow.

in a platinum capsule in a heetwater bath and then in a sand bath. After the separation of thick perchloride vapours until the mixture is dry, it is dissolved by 20 ml of hot water and 2-3 ml of concentrated HCl.
Pour over the solution into a 200 ml volumetric flask and add to the volume with distilled water up to the volume.
Reagents: 6% solution of sodium tetraphenylboride: 1.5 grams of reagent is dissolved in 250 ml of distilled water. The remaining slight opacity is removed by the addition of 1 gram of aluminium hydroxide. Stir for five minutes, then filtration, where the first 20 ml should be filtered again. Wash solution of the precipitation: One prepares a low potassium salt through precipitation in a solution of approximately 0,1 gram KCl at 50 ml HCl 0,1 n; herein, it is already rotating the solution of tetraphenylboride until the precipitation is terminated. Filter on glass and wash with distilled water. Dry in a drying appliance at ambient temperature, after which 20 to 30 mg of this salt is brought in 250 ml of distilled water. Stir it from time to time. After 30 minutes, 0.5 to 1 gram of aluminium hydroxide is added. After a few minutes of stirring, filter is filtered.
Procedure: The hydrochloric acid solution for the declosure shall be taken as a quantity corresponding to approximately 10 mg K2O. This amount is diluted to approximately 100 ml after which the test solution, i.e. 10 ml at 5 mg estimated K2O, is added under moderate stirring. Allow for a maximum of 15 minutes, then filter by using a tarted, sintered filter-line number. 3 or 4. Wash with a washing solution. Drying at 120 ° C for 30 minutes. The conversion factor for K2O = 0,13143.
± 0,1 in absolute value for each provision.
If an analysis has a value below the limits laid down (30, 24 or 10%) within these tolerances, the average of at least three analyses must be taken. Is the analysis value equal to or greater than 29,95, 23,95, or 9.95, the glass must be accommodated in the categories corresponding to 30, 24 and 30 respectively. 10%.
Method by means of hydrostatic balance to ± 0,01 accurate. A sample of at least 20 grams shall be weighed in the atmosphere and immersed in distilled water at 20 ° C.
The refractive index is measured with a refractometer at ± 0.001 accurate.
The Vickers hardness is measured according to ASTM E 92-65 (revision 1965) based on a 50 gram charge and the average of 15 determinations is taken.
