Copper tests

Knight and Allen. This is a copper reduction method for reducing sugars in white sugar up to 0.02%. It utilizes EDTA to determine excess unreacted copper. Tests undertaken in 1994 to extend the range of this method were unsuccesshil. In spite of poor performance in ring tests, it remains an official ICUMSA method.

Preparation of Hydrofluoric Acid. Put 5 g of fluorite and 1 g of gypsum into a Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene), lead, or copper test tube (why is gypsum added ). Pour 5 ml of a 96% sulphuric acid solution over the mixture, tightly close the test tube with a rubber stopper provided with a Teflon, lead, or copper gas-discharge tube. Lower the end of this tube into a Teflon, lead, copper, or paraffin-coated glass beaker containing 10 ml of water so that it only slightly touches the surface of the water (why ). Put an asbestos sheet between the beaker and the Teflon test tube. To speed up the reaction, it is recommended to immerse the Teflon test tube into a beaker with hot water. Why must the test tube not be heated directly by the flame of a burner ... 

For the liquid--liquid system experiments at atmospheric pressure, we mounted the same copper test cylinder in a simple 2-liter water-Jacketed beaker. This was filled with the test mixture and maintained at constant temperature by a water bath circulator. 

Two-Dimensional Copper Tests with Pulsed Voltage An attractive idea, which is under investigation at Cambridge, is to use only solar power for providing the electric field. In principle, the provision of solar power should be much easier for a barrier than for cleanup because the power requirements should be much less. 

If other metallic salts which form precipitates with ammonia are present in such amount that they interfere with the recognition of the benzoin-oxime test, their precipitation can be prevented by the addition of sodium potassium tartrate. The sensitivity of the copper test is, however, somewhat reduced by considerable amounts of tartrate. Large amounts of ammonium salts also prevent the complete precipitation of the green Cu-benzoinoxime. Consequently, if the test solutions are strongly acid or contain ammonium salts, a drop should be evaporated and ignited. The benzoinoxime test is carried out after the residue has been dissolved in a drop of dilute hydrochloric acid. 

The precipitation of copper with rubeanic acid also occurs in ammo-niacal, tartrate-containing solutions, but not in alkaline cyanide solutions. Only cobalt and nickel ions react under the same conditions as copper ions they give brown and blue-red precipitates respectively. The copper test is extremely sensitive, and under suitable conditions (see below) can also be carried out in the presence of cobalt and nickel salts. If the masking actions of malonic acid and ethylenediamine are employed (see page 216), copper can be detected with rubeanic acid with no interference whatsoever from other metal ions. However, the sensitivity is much less. 

Stannous chloride reduces not only molybdates to the colored lower oxides,2 but also reacts with phosphomolybdic acid and its salts. Molyb-denum blue results. It is an important fact, especially for the detection of tin in the presence of antimony salts, that stannous chloride will reduce not only the soluble phosphomolybdic acid as does antimony trichloride (compare page 105), but also the insoluble phosphomolybdates (e.g., the potassium or ammonium salt). Concerning molybdeniun blue see copper test 5, page 210.

A finite element computer program is used to solve the equations. Using the data of Stoll and Chianta [39], the copper test sensor temperatures are used to estimate the time it would take human skin to sustain second-degree bums. The authors show that estimates of the gross thermal response of the materials tested in common bench top tests, and times to exceed the Stoll second-degree bum criterion can be modeled using relatively simple models.
