SOLID F�RTILIZERS - DETERMINf\TION OF MOISTURE CONTI;NT Scope This standard describes the methods for the determination of moisture content in solid fertilizers. A. Determination of Moisture - Oven Dry Mcthop The method docs not apply to fc1tilizcrs that yield volatile substances other than water at drying temperature. Procedure a) Weigh 2g of sample in a pre-weighed, clean and dry weighing bottle or pctridish. b) Heat in an oven for about 5 hours at 99 °C - 100 PC to constant weight. Cool In a desiccator and weigh. lncasc of ammonium sulphate and potassium salts heat to constant weight at 129 °C to I 31 °C for five hours. For urea, heat at 70 °C + 5 °C for five hours Calculation Moisture per cent by weight(%)•= .1912.{n. -C} B-A Where, A= Weight in gram of the empty bottle. B = Weight of the bottle plus the matcria\ in gram, before drying C = Weight of the bottle plus the material in gram, after drying B. Determination of Moisture - Vacuum Desiccator Method The method is applicable to Ammonium Chloride, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and all types of complex and mixtures of NP� fertilizers Procedure Weigh 5g of prepared sample in a weighep shallow porcelain dish and dry for 24 hours in a vacuum dcssicator over sulphuric acid and re-weigh. Calculation Moisture per cent bt weight = l 00 x fil W2 Where, Wl"'-'Loss in weight in gram on drying and W2=Weight in gram of the prepared sample taken for the test C. Determination of Moisture - Karl Fischer Method 77 Fertilizer GN. No. 350 (contd.) This method is applicable to fertilizers like Urea, CAN and urea based complexes. The method is not suitable for phosphate rock based fertilizers .a11d fertilizers containing monocalcium phosphate, calcium sulphate, alkali carbonates as well as aldchydes and ketone groups. Apparatus Karl Fischer titrator Reagents Karl Fischer reagent (KF) - Karl Fischer solution (pyridine free)(single solution) Di-sodium tartarate di hydrate (Na2C40621 fiO) Methanol-KF grade/spectroscopy grade containing less than 0.05 % water Procedure Standardization of KF reagent i) Set up the instrument ii) Add methanol to the titration vessel until the electrodes arc dipped and titrate with Karl­ Fischer reagent to a pre-set end point persists for 30 seconds. iii) Add I 0Og of the disodium tartarc\te dehydrate to the titration vessel carefully and titrate with Karl Fischer reagent to a pre set end point (the pre-set end point should persist for 30 seconds). Note the volume of KF reagent used as V I mL. Determination of moisture of sample a) Weigh l g of the prepared sample and transfer to the titration vessel carefully and stir until dispersed. b) Titrate with KF reagent to the same pre-set end point as above and note the volume of KF reagent used as...Y 2 mL. Calculation Factor (F)(mgll20/l ml ofKF reagent} "'"' 0.1566 x mg of sodium ta1iarate clihydrate added Y1 Moisture per cent by weight 0= F x V Weight of sample (gram) x JO.:. 78 • Fertilizer FOURTH �CHEDULE (Made under regulation 4(6)) The Director Tanzania Fertilizer Regulatory Authority P.O.
