Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for detecting the content of substance elements, in particular to a method for detecting the nitrogen content of a compound fertilizer, belonging to the field of analytical chemistry.
Background
In the production practice, the nitrogen content of the fertilizer is a very important factor. The traditional determination method comprises a Kjeldahl method, a special Kjeldahl apparatus is needed in the method, and the steps are complicated and the time consumption is long. The modern measurement of nitrogen content usually adopts high performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography, although the detection speed is high, the instrument, equipment and maintenance cost are expensive, and the wide application in common laboratories and production units is difficult. In addition, the method has high requirements on standard products, and the selection of substances such as a mobile phase, a chromatographic column and the like has great influence on detection results.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems of complicated steps, high cost and the like of the existing determination method, the invention aims to provide an economical, reasonable, simple and feasible detection method.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a method for detecting nitrogen content of a compound fertilizer comprises the following steps:
1) crushing the compound fertilizer, sieving, drying to constant weight, and measuring the water content;
2) weighing a compound fertilizer, placing the compound fertilizer in a flask, adding sulfuric acid, digesting for 3-5 min at 180-200 ℃, increasing the temperature to 350-360 ℃, continuing to digest for 10-12 min, reducing the temperature to 100-120 ℃, heating for 1-2 min, cooling to room temperature, and adding distilled water;
3) neutralizing the residual sulfuric acid in the step 2) by using sodium hydroxide;
4) adding ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide into the solution obtained in the step 3), titrating ammonium ions by using a sodium hydroxide solution by taking phenolphthalein as an indicator, wherein the volume ratio of the ethanol to the dimethyl sulfoxide is 1: 1-1: 2, the volume ratio of the ethanol to the solution obtained in the step 3) is 1: 0.8-1: 1.
it is preferable that: in the step 2), the weight of the compound fertilizer needs to be weighed to be 0.3-0.5 g, and 30-50 mL of sulfuric acid needs to be added into each gram of the compound fertilizer.
It is preferable that: the mass percentage concentration of the sulfuric acid in the step 2) is 95-98%.
It is preferable that: the adding amount of the distilled water in the step 2) is 2-3 times of the volume of the sulfuric acid.
It is preferable that: the concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the step 3) is 0.1-0.5 mol/L.
It is preferable that: the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in the step 4) is 0.5-1 mol/L.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. according to the invention, low-temperature digestion is adopted firstly, excessive foam accumulation in the digestion process is avoided, and when the foam is completely consumed, the temperature can be increased for further digestion, so that organic nitrogen in the compound fertilizer is degraded into inorganic ammonium ions; in order to facilitate subsequent titrations. The subsequent temperature reduction can completely remove the organic carbon and ensure the clarity of the solution.
2. The invention uses sodium hydroxide to neutralize the residual sulfuric acid in the solution, the sodium hydroxide can directly titrate the hydrogen ions in the solution, and the ammonium ions in the solution can not react with the sodium hydroxide solution because of weak acidity.
3. The dissociation constant (K) of aqueous solution is very small due to ammoniab=1.8×10-5) Its conjugate acid (NH)4 +) Too weak (Ka ═ 5.6X 10)-10) CK cannot meet the classic acid-base titrationa≥10-8Thus it is difficult to directly titrate in aqueous solution with standard bases. According to the invention, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide are added before ammonium ion titration, and the addition of the ethanol and the dimethyl sulfoxide can enhance the strength of acid expressed by ammonium ions, because the ethanol-dimethyl sulfoxide can accept protons, so that the ammonium ions express stronger acidity. Therefore, ammonium ions which could not be directly titrated could be titrated smoothly. In addition, after the ethanol-dimethyl sulfoxide is added, the change of the titration endpoint is very obvious, so that the accuracy of the measurement result is high.
4. The method is simple and easy to implement, and compared with a Kjeldahl method, the method omits three steps of alkalization distillation, boron absorption and acid titration. In addition, the equipment, instruments and reagents required by the invention are common articles in laboratories, and have obvious economic benefit.
