3.1 Sensory requirements

The sensory requirements shall meet the requirements of Table 1.

A.1 General

The reagents and water used in this Standard refer to analytically-pure reagents and grade three water specified in GB/T 6682 when other requirements are not indicated. All standard solutions, preparations and products used in the test for impurity determination shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 601, GB/T 602, and GB/T 603 when other requirements are not specified.

The solution used refers to an aqueous solution when it is not specified which solvent is used for preparation.

A.2 Identification test

A.2.1 Reagents and materials

A.2.1.1 Hydrochloric acid solution: 1+3.

A.2.1.2 Ammonia solution: 1+1.

A.2.2 Identification method

A.2.2.1 Identification of calcium ion

Weigh about 0.1g of specimen. Add 5mL of water, 5mL of hydrochloric acid solution to make the specimen dissolved. Add 2.5mL of ammonia solution dropwise while shaking. Then add 5mL of ammonium oxalate solution to generate white precipitation.

A.2.2.2 Identification of phosphate ion

Weigh about 0.1g of specimen. Add nitric acid solution dropwise until the specimen is dissolved and then exceed by 1mL. Heat to 40°C~50°C. Add 10mL of ammonium molybdate solution to generate yellow precipitation.

A.3 Determination of calcium hydrogen phosphate content

A.3.4.2 Determination

Accurately pipette 25mL of test solution in a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 100mL of water, 0.5mL of triethanolamine. Add 0.3g of hydroxynaphthol blue indicator. Put it on a magnetic stirrer and stir evenly. Use a burette to add about 23mL of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium standard titration solution at a normal speed. Add dropwise sodium hydroxide solution from red to bright blue, and finally to purple. Then exceed by 0.5mL. Continue to use ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium standard titration solution to titrate the solution to blue. Keep it unchanged for 60s. At the same time, conduct the blank test.

A.7 Determination of arsenic (As)

Weigh an appropriate amount of the specimen after burning in A.4. Add hydrochloric acid solution (1+1) dropwise until the specimen is dissolved and then exceed by 2mL. Then determine according to the method specified in GB 5009.76 or GB 5009.11. Use hydrochloric acid (or hydrochloric acid solution) instead of sulfuric acid (or sulfuric acid solution) in the test procedure. The water used in the test is grade two water specified in GB/T 6682.

A.8 Determination of heavy metals (as Pb)

Weigh 2g±0.01g of the specimen after burning in A.4. Add 5mL of hydrochloric acid solution (1+1), 20mL of water. Heat to dissolve. After cooling, add dropwise ammonia solution (1+5) until white precipitation appears. Add a small amount of hydrochloric acid solution (1+1) until the precipitation disappears. According to the method specified in GB 5009.74, add 5mL of pH3.5 acetate buffer.

Determine. The water used in the test is grade two water specified in GB/T 6682. […]
