Loss on ignition (LOI) of iron ore is determined by finiding the loss in weight of the sample by heating it first to 500°C for 5 minutes followed by its heating at . . . . . . . . °C, for 30 minutes.
Determination of methane present in coke oven gas by orsat apparatus, it is completely oxidised in contact with CuO to CO2 and H2O at a temperature of, . . . . . . . . . °C.
Determination of ash content of coal during its proximate analysis, the temperature of weighed coal sample is raised to 400 - 500°C in half an hour and maintained at the same level for further half an hour. The temperature is then raised to . . . . . . . . °C at which the sample is heated for one more hour before weighing it.
Estimation of total iron in oxide ore comprises of three basic steps namely (i) extraction of iron into solution (ii) oxidation for volumetric analysis or precipitation for gravimetric analysis, and (iii) titration in volumetric analysis or ignition and weighting in gravimetric analysis. Which of the following concentrated acid is used for the first step i.e. extraction of iron into solution?
Combined carbon content in iron and steel is determined by treating the sample with dilute HNO3. So that combined carbon forms a soluble brown nitrated compound, the intensity of which is matched with that of a standard sample of similar composition treated under similar condition. The intensity of color produced is proportional to the carbon content of iron of steel sample. This method of combined carbon determination is called the
