COEI-2-SULFAT Search for sulphates

In a 160  16 mm test tube, place the volume prescribed of the solution obtained by the means indicated in each monography; add 1 ml of diluted hydrochloric acid (R); adjust to 20 ml with water and add 2 ml of barium chloride solution at 10% (R).

SODIUM - DOSAGE PAR SAA

COEI-2-SODIUM Determination of sodium by absorption atomic spectrometry

  1. Principle

The sodium is determined after mineralisation by dry process by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The addition of a spectral buffer (cesium chloride) to avoid ionisation of sodium is necessary.

POTASSIUM - DOSAGE PAR SAA

COEI-2-POTASS Determination of potassium by atomic absorption spectrometry

  1. Principle

The potassium is determined by mineralisation by dry process by atomic absorption spectrometry.

The addition of a spectral buffer (cesium chloride) to avoid the ionisation of the potassium is necessary.

MERCURE - DOSAGE

COEI-2-MERCUR Determination of mercury by the generation of vapour and atomic fluorescence spectrometry

  1. Field of application

This method is applied to the analysis of mercury in oenological products in the concentration range of 0 to 10 μg/l.
