1. Weigh approximately 50 g product, or quantity that contains 500 - 1500 μg SO2, to nearest 0.1 g, into three-neck round bottom distillation flask.
Note: A recovery should be prepared at this time by fortifying blank tissue with an appropriate amount of HMS solution (D.3). If SO2 content of the blank tissue has not been previously determined, it must be analyzed as part of the set.
Note: Titration and gravimetric readings from a tissue blank may be used in place of those from a reagent blank, in calculations described in section G parts 2 and 3, if the tissue blank is known to contain <1 ppm SO2, using gravimetric quantitation.
2. Add 400 - 500 mL H2O to flask, taking care to rinse down any residual sample that may cling to the neck or walls of the flask. Dry neck of flask with tissue. Proceed immediately to next step.
3. Assemble apparatus described in B.1.a (refer to Figure 1, Section K). Apply stopcock grease or Teflon® sleeves to all joints and clamp where practical.
Note: Most assembly may take place prior to start of analysis in order to save time. Order of steps a-c below is not critical.
a. Place flask (C), containing sample, into heating mantle controlled by power-regulating device (rheostat).
b. Close stopcock of separatory funnel (B) and add 90 mL 4N HCl to funnel.
c. Add 30 mL 3% H2O2, which has been titrated to yellow end point with 0.01N NaOH, to vessel (G).
d. Before putting vessel (G) into place, adjust nitrogen flow to 190 - 210 mL/min using a flowmeter. Count bubble rate in flask (C). After attaching vessel (G), readjust nitrogen flow, if necessary to maintain the same bubble rate in flask.
4. Purge apparatus and check for leaks
a. Initiate condenser coolant flow at this time. Allow 15 min for N2 flow to purge system of oxygen.
b. Inspect system to verify that all joints are leak free.
5. Generate and distill SO2
a. Apply positive pressure to separatory funnel using a rubber bulb or other apparatus. Open stopcock and let HCl flow into flask. Maintain sufficient pressure to force acid solution into flask without allowing gases from flask to bubble into funnel. Stopcock may be closed, if necessary, to pump up pressure above acid, and then opened again.
b. Close stopcock before last 2 - 3 mL drain out of separatory funnel to guard against escape of SO2 into separatory funnel.
c. Apply power to the heating mantle, using a power setting that causes 80 - 90 drops/min of condensate to return to flask from condenser.
d. Let contents of flask boil 1 hour 45 minutes, then remove vessel (G) and turn off power to mantle.
e. Quantitatively transfer contents of vessel to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask using a small volume of deionized water. Note: Solution is stable for several hours when flask is capped, but following step must be done on day of distillation.
6. Titrate H2SO4 from vessel G.
Titrate contents of Erlenmeyer flask with 0.010N NaOH to yellow end point that persists at least 20 seconds.
7. Gravimetric determination (Required if titration indicates reportable amounts of SO2 detected).
a. Add 4 drops 1N HCl and an excess of filtered 10% BaCl2 solution to flask, and let mixture stand overnight.
b. Swirl flask contents to suspend precipitate and pour through a tared Gooch crucible. Quantitatively transfer residual precipitate in flask using three approximately 20 mL portions of hot water, and allow to drain. Wash crucible with 20 mL absolute alcohol and 20 mL ether, and dry for at least 2 hours at 105 - 110 °C.
c. Allow crucible to cool, then reweigh. Calculate weight of BaSO4 in milligrams by subtracting the tare.
