    Silica Check

    Uploaded by

    Ah Sulaeman Al-Adhyim
    This document provides instructions for using liquid reagents to analyze ultra low levels of silica using a plastic sample cell instead of a pour-thru cell. The method involves adding molybdate, citric acid, and amino acid reagents to the sample and measuring the blue color produced, which is proportional to the silica concentration.

    APPLICATION NOTE

    ULTRA LOW RANGE SILICA


    For Use with Hach DR 2700, DR 2800, DR 3800, DR 3900, DR 5000 and
    DR 6000 Spectrophotometers
    Ultra Low Range Silica
    Hach offers ULR methods for silica using a pour-thru cell for the same concentration range. This
    application note demonstrates how to eliminate the pour-thru cell and allows the operator to utilize a
    plastic sample cell.
    NOTE: The test method is based on the 1" square plastic sample cell that is used in the colorimetric
    Hardness test (Method 8374). Part number 2410212.
    PREPARATION OF SAMPLE CELL: Pour 1 mL of the Molybdate 3 reagent solution into the plastic sample
    cell and completely fill with DI water. Place the cap on it and allow to sit for 15-30 minutes. This removes
    any residual silica. This step doesn't have to be done for each test, only when contamination is suspected.
    REAGENT BLANK: Activate the reagent blank option to account for the Molybdate 3 reagent. The value is
    printed on the reagent blank. Use the numeric keypad on the instrument to manually adjust the reagent
    blank value.
    1. Rinse the plastic sample cell out 3 times with the sample to be tested.
    2. Fill the sample cell to the 25 ml mark with the water sample.
    3. Add 0.5 mL of the Molybdate 3 reagent. Place the cap on the cell and invert several times to mix.
    NOTE: if you are using the Molybdate 3 in the 100 ml dropper bottle, the dropper is marked at 1.0 and
    0.5 ml.
    4. Wait 4 minutes, using the TIMER.
    5. Remove the cap and add 0.5 mL of the Citric Acid Reagent. Place the cap on the cell and invert several
    times to mix.
    NOTE: if you are using the Citric Acid in the 100 ml dropper bottle, the dropper is marked at 1.0 and
    0.5 ml.
    6. Wait 1 minute, using the TIMER.
    7. Wipe off any fingerprints and place plastic sample cell into the spectrophotometer and press ZERO.
    8. Add 0.5 mL of the Amino Acid F Reagent. Place the cap on the cell and invert several times to mix.
    9. Place the sample cell back into the spectrophotometer and press READ.

    Apparatus and Reagents needed for this application:


    1. 1 inch square plastic cells (12/pkg), PN 2410212
    2. ULR Silica Reagent Set (using Amino Acid F solution, 100 tests), PN 2553500
    OR
    ULR Silica Reagent Set (using Amino Acid F ampules, 40 tests), PN 2581400
    OR
    Amino Acid F Reagent Solution (100 mL), PN 2386442
    3. Amino Acid F Reagent Solution, 1.2-mL ampules (20/pkg), PN 2386442
    4. Citric Acid F Reagent Solution (500 mL), PN 2254249
    5. Molybdate 3 Reagent Solution (500 mL), PN 199549

    Summary of method
    Modifications are necessary to adapt the Low Range Silica method for analyzing trace levels in the Ultra
    Low Range method. Liquid reagents produce more reproducible readings and lower blank values by
    eliminating slight turbidity that may remain when using powdered reagents. Use of liquid reagents in
    continuous monitors for silica provides a means of confirming the analyzer performance.
    Silica and phosphate in the sample react with molybdate ions under acidic conditions to form
    yellow silicomolybdic acid complexes and phosphomolybdic acid complexes. Addition of citric acid
    destroys the phosphate complexes. Amino Acid F Reagent is then added to reduce the yellow
    silicomolybdic acid to an intense blue color, which is proportional to the silica concentration. Test results
    are measured at 815 nm.
