3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 organic inorganic compound fertilizer
A compound fertilizer containing a certain amount of organic fertilizer. NOTE: Organic inorganic compound fertilizer includes organic inorganic mixed fertilizer. 4 Technical requirements
4.1 Appearance: Granular or strip product, without mechanical impurities. divider or quarter method. Reduce into two portions. Subpack into two clean, dry glass bottles or plastic bottles with ground stoppers. Seal and label them, indicating manufacturer name, product name, product category, batch number or production date, sampling date and name of the person who took the sample. One bottle is for product inspection. The other is stored for two months, for future inspection.
6 Test methods
WARNING - Potassium dichromate and its solution in the reagent are
oxidizing. Sulfuric acid and its solutions, hydrochloric acid, silver nitrate solution and sodium hydroxide solution are corrosive. Related operations shall be carried out in a fume hood. This Standard does not point out all possible safety issues. The user is responsible for taking appropriate
safety and health measures and ensuring compliance with relevant
national regulations.
6.1 General provisions
The preparation of reagents, water and solutions used in this Standard, when specifications and preparation methods are not specified, shall be in
accordance with HG/T 2843. Except for appearance and particle size, two test materials are tested in parallel.
6.2 Specimen preparation
Take a bottle of sample from 5.2. After multiple reductions, take out about 100g. Grind quickly to pass the 0.50mm or 1.00mm aperture test sieve (if the sample is wet or difficult to crush, it can be ground to pass the 2.00mm aperture test sieve). Mix well. Collect in a drying bottle for determination of content. The remaining samples are used to determine the appearance, particle size,
mortality of roundworm eggs, and the number of fecal coliforms.
6.3 Appearance
Use visual inspection method.
6.4 Organic matter content
6.4.1 Principle
Use a certain amount of potassium dichromate solution and sulfuric acid. Under heating, the organic carbon in the organic-inorganic compound fertilizer is oxidized, and the remaining potassium dichromate solution is titrated with ferrous sulfate (or ferrous ammonium sulfate) standard titration solution. Do a blank test at the same time. According to the consumption of oxidant before and V3 - In the blank test, the volume of ferrous sulfate (or ferrous ammonium sulfate) standard titration solution consumed, in milliliters (mL);
V4 - When measuring the test material, the volume of ferrous sulfate (or ferrous ammonium sulfate) standard titration solution consumed, in milliliters (mL); c2 - The concentration of ferrous sulfate (or ferrous ammonium sulfate) standard titration solution, in moles per liter (mol/L);
0.003 - The molar mass of a quarter of carbon, in grams per millimole (g/mmol); 1.5 - The oxidation correction factor;
w1 - The chloride ion content in the specimen measured according to 6.11, %; 1/12 - The mass fraction of organic carbon equivalent to 1% chloride ion; 1.724 - The empirical conversion coefficient between organic carbon and organic matter;
m0 - The mass of test material, in grams (g).
The calculation result is expressed to one decimal place. Take the arithmetic mean of the parallel measurement results as the measurement result.
