Take a part of the test solution, mask the iron, aluminum and manganese ions with triethanolamine, and titrate the calcium oxide with EDTA or EGTA standard volumetric solution in strong alkali medium with calcium carboxylic acid (calcium indicator) as the indicator. For high magnesium specimens, preset 90% to 95% EDTA or EGTA standard volumetric solution before adjusting the test solution to alkaline, so as to eliminate the influence of a large amount of magnesium. Take another part of the test solution, mask the iron, aluminum and manganese ions with triethanolamine, titrate the calcium oxide and magnesium oxide with EDTA standard volumetric solution in ammonia buffer solution with a pH value of 10 and acid chrome blue K and naphthol green B as mixed indicator, or mask the calcium with slightly excessive EGTA standard volumetric solution, and titrate the magnesium oxide with CyDTA standard volumetric solution. The content of iron oxide and aluminum oxide in specimen is greater than 2.0% or the manganese oxide is greater than 0.10%. Precipitate and separate the iron, aluminium and manganese irons with sodium diethylamine dithiocarbamate (copper reagent), take the filtrate, and titrate the calcium oxide and magnesium oxide with EDTA or EGTA and CyDTA standard volumetric solutions. 3.2 Reagents Unless otherwise stated, only recognized analytically pure reagents and distilled water above Grade III specified in GB/T 6682 or water with equivalent purity shall be used. 3.2.1 Mixed flux: grind two portions of anhydrous sodium carbonate and one portion of boric acid, and mix them well. 3.2.2 Hydrochloric acid (1+5). 3.2.3 Triethanolamine (1+4). 3.2.4 Ammonia water (1+1). 3.2.5 Potassium hydroxide solution (200g/L), stored in plastic bottles for more than 12h after being prepared prior to use. 3.2.6 Sodium diethylamine dithiocarbamate (copper reagent) solution (50g/L), prepared immediately before use. 3.2.7 Ammonia buffer solution (pH10): dissolve 67.5g ammonium chloride in water, add 570mL ammonia water (ρ=0.90g/mL), dilute to 1L with water, and mix well. 3.2.8 Calcium indicator (calcium carboxylic acid): grind 1g calcium indicator and 100g sodium chloride, and mix them well. 3.2.9 Acid chrome blue K-naphthol green B mixed indicator solution: dissolve 0.5g acid chrome blue K and 0.2 gnaphthol green B in water and dilute to 70mL with water. Note: The ratio of acid chrome blue K to naphthol green B may be adjusted according to the color sensitivity of the indicator and the color discrimination ability of the operator. 3.2.10 Calcium oxide standard solution: weigh 0.8924g high purity calcium carbonate (with a purity of not less than 99.99%, dry at 105℃ to 110℃ for 1h before weighing and cool to room temperature in a dryer), put it in a 250mL beaker, add about 100mL water, and cover it with a watch glass. Slowly add 10mL hydrochloric acid (1+1) until the reagent dissolves, heat and boil to remove carbon dioxide, then take it down and cool to room temperature. Transfer the solution obtained into a 1,000mL volumetric flask, dilute it to the scale with water and mix well. This solution contains 0.50mg calcium oxide per 1.00mL. 3.2.11 Magnesium oxide standard solution: weigh 0.5000g high purity magnesium oxide (with a purity of not less than 99.99%, burn at 950℃ to 1,000℃ for 1h before weighing and then cool to room temperature in a dryer), put it in a 250mL beaker, add about 100mL water, and cover it with a watch glass. Slowly add 15mL hydrochloric acid (1+1) until the reagent dissolves, heat and boil, then take it down and cool to room temperature. Transfer the solution obtained into a 1,000mL volumetric flask, dilute it to the scale with water and mix well. This solution contains 0.50mg magnesium oxide per 1.00mL. 3.2.12 EDTA standard volumetric solution: [c(EDTA)=0.01mol/L] 3.2.12.1 Preparation Weigh 3.72g EDTA into a 500mL beaker, add about 300mL water, heat at low temperature and stir continuously. After all the reagents are dissolved, cool to room temperature, transfer into a 1,000mL volumetric flask, dilute it to the scale with water and mix well. 3.2.12.2 Calibration of titer of calcium oxide by EDTA standard volumetric solution Transfer three portions of 50.00mL calcium oxide standard solution (3.2.10) into 250mL or 500mL conical flasks respectively, add 2mL magnesium oxide standard solution (3.2.11), 5mL triethanolamine (3.2.3), 20mL potassium hydroxide solution (3.2.5) and about 0.1g calcium indicator (3.2.8), and titrate with EDTA standard volumetric solution (3.2.12.1) while shaking constantly until the solution changes from red to bright blue. The extreme difference of the volumes of EDTA standard volumetric solution consumed for three portions of calcium oxide standard solution shall not exceed 0.05mL, and the mean shall be taken. The titer of calcium oxide by EDTA standard volumetric solution is calculated using Equation (1):
