Kahulugan at paggamit

4.1 Mercury is a toxic substance and is also harmful if present in caustic soda and caustic potassium used in some manufacturing processes. It therefore needs to be controlled as a possible pollutant. These test methods provide a way to measure mercury content of caustic soda and caustic potassium in liquids and solids.

ASTM E538-2017 Standard Test Method for Mercury in Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) and Caustic Potassium (Potassium hydroxide)

Hakbang 1: Saklaw

1.1 These test methods include routine determination of mercury and anhydrous caustic soda in solid, matuklap, ground and bead forms in caustic soda and caustic potassium solutions by flameless atomic absorption method.

1.2 The two test methods are described as follows: Test method A uses an alkaline reducing agent to analyze the sample directly, and the detection limit is 0.1ppb (ng/g). Test method A was developed using caustic soda and caustic potassium salts. Test method B, which requires pre-neutralization of the sample followed by permanganate oxidation followed by analysis with an acid reducing agent, has a lower detection limit of 0.01ppm (μg/ g). Test method B was developed using caustic soda.

1.3 Review the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for details on toxicity, first aid procedures and safety precautions.

1.4 Ang mga pagpapahalagang ipinahayag sa mga yunit ng SI ay dapat ituring bilang mga pamantayang pagpapahalaga. Walang iba pang mga yunit ng pagsukat ang kasama sa pamantayang ito.

1.5 Ang pamantayang ito ay hindi nilayon upang matugunan ang lahat ng mga alalahanin sa kaligtasan (kung meron man) na nauugnay sa paggamit nito. Responsibilidad ng mga gumagamit ng pamantayang ito na magtatag ng angkop na mga kasanayan sa kaligtasan at kalusugan at upang matukoy ang pagiging angkop ng mga paghihigpit sa regulasyon bago gamitin. Specific hazards are described in sections 7 at 18.

1.6 Ang internasyonal na pamantayang ito ay batay sa mga internasyonal na kinikilalang pamantayan na mga prinsipyo na itinatag sa “Desisyon sa Mga Prinsipyo para sa Pag unlad ng Internasyonal na Pamantayan, Mga Patnubay at Rekomendasyon” issued by the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT).
