Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical analysis, and particularly relates to a pretreatment method for iodine-containing substances and a method for determining the iodine content in iodine-containing substances. Background Art
[0002] Iodine has multiple valence states in nature and exists in organic and inorganic forms, so it cannot be directly determined. Currently, the determination of iodine content is divided into two steps. First is the pretreatment, the purpose of which is to convert organic iodine into inorganic iodine, and then the iodine content in the substance is determined by detecting the inorganic iodine.
[0003] Currently, the main pretreatment methods are as follows:
[0004] (1) Oxygen bomb combustion: That is, oxygen is filled into the bomb, and then the sample is ignited by a ignition wire. The inorganic iodine obtained by combustion is absorbed by placing an absorbent solution in the bomb. The disadvantages of this method are: 1) When the bomb is opened to release gas later, the gaseous target substance is likely to escape, resulting in a low recovery rate; 2) The sample weighing amount in this method generally requires to be between 0.2 g and 0.5 g, otherwise it is easy to have incomplete combustion, and for some samples that are not easy to burn, it is also likely to cause a low recovery rate; 3) Part of the iodine in the absorbent solution exists in the form of iodate, which increases the difficulty of subsequent inorganic iodine determination; 4) It is not suitable for samples with low calorific value and not easy to burn.
[0005] (2) High-temperature alkali fusion: That is, the sample is added to a crucible and covered with sodium hydroxide flakes, and then melted at a high temperature in a muffle furnace. This method is suitable for high-boiling substances. For low-boiling substances such as organic solvents, since the heating process is not a sealed system, iodine is likely to sublime, resulting in a low recovery rate.
[0006] (3) Sodium hydroxide-zinc powder reflux: That is, the sample is added to a flask, and then sodium hydroxide and zinc powder are added, and then heated for condensation reflux. This method has cumbersome operations and a long reflux time. It relies on alkali to hydrolyze iodine in the organic matter, and at the same time reduces the high-valence iodine through zinc powder. However, because the hydrolysis reaction is an equilibrium reaction, the final iodine conversion rate is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pretreatment method for iodine-containing substances and a method for determining the iodine content in iodine-containing substances. The pretreatment method provided by the present invention can fully convert the organic iodine in the iodine-containing substance into iodide ions, and the conversion recovery rate of iodine is high.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned invention purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0009] The present invention provides a pretreatment method for iodine-containing substances, including the following steps:
[0010] (1) Thermally combust the iodine-containing substance and oxygen in a closed environment, and introduce all the resulting gas into an absorption solution for absorption to obtain an initial test solution to be measured; the temperature of the thermal combustion is 800°C to 950°C;
[0011] (2) Adjust the pH value of the initial test solution obtained in step (1) to <7, and then add a reducing agent for a reduction reaction to obtain a test solution.
[0012] Preferably, the time of thermal combustion in step (1) is 5 min to 15 min.
[0013] Preferably, the absorption solution in step (1) is an alkaline solution.

[0017] Preferably, oxygen is continuously introduced during the thermal combustion process in step (1), and the flow rate of the oxygen is 100 mL / min to 200 mL / min.
[0018] Preferably, a sulfuric acid solution is used to adjust the pH value of the initial test solution in step (2).
[0019] The present invention also provides a method for determining the iodine content in an iodine-containing substance, including: pretreating the iodine-containing substance using the pretreatment method described in the above technical solution to obtain a test solution; performing automatic potentiometric titration on the test solution to obtain the iodine content in the test solution, and calculating the iodine content in the iodine-containing substance; the titration solution used in the automatic potentiometric titration is a silver nitrate standard solution.
[0020] Preferably, the concentration of the silver nitrate standard solution is 0.01 mol / L to 0.1 mol / L.
[0021] The present invention provides a pretreatment method for iodine-containing substances, comprising the following steps: (1) thermally burning the iodine-containing substance and oxygen in a closed environment, and passing all the obtained gases into an absorption liquid for absorption to obtain an initial test liquid; the temperature of the thermal combustion is 800°C to 950°C; (2) adjusting the pH value of the initial test liquid obtained in step (1) to less than 7, and then adding a reducing agent for reduction reaction to obtain the test liquid. The present invention thermally burns the iodine-containing substance in a closed environment, which can force the iodine in the sample to be converted into iodine element, thereby avoiding the low iodine conversion rate caused by the non-flammable sample; the iodine recovery rate can be improved by passing the gas generated by the combustion into the absorption liquid, and fully contacting and absorbing the absorption liquid in a foaming manner; the oxidizing property of iodate under acidic conditions is utilized to react with the reducing agent to generate iodide ions, thereby avoiding the problem that iodate is difficult to detect.
[0022] The method for determining the iodine content in the iodine-containing substance provided by the present invention uses an automatic potentiometric titration method, and can use standard solutions of different concentrations for titration according to the iodine content, thereby meeting the detection needs of different iodine contents. The results of the embodiment show that the determination method provided by the present invention can accurately detect the iodine content in naphthalene iodine and potassium iodide, with an accuracy of 98.7%; the relative deviation of the same sample after multiple determinations is less than 0.8%.

[0030] The present invention has no special requirements for the sample amount of the iodine-containing substance, and the sample amount can be adjusted according to the detection needs. As an embodiment of the present invention, a sufficient amount of sample can be added at one time; for samples with low iodine content, multiple injections can be performed for thermal combustion, while the absorption liquid remains unchanged, to achieve accurate detection of low-concentration samples.
