ISO 22875:2017 pdf download.Nuclear energy — Determination of chlorine and fluorine in uranium dioxide powder and sintered pellets
1 Scope
This document describes a method for determining chlorine and fluorine in uranium dioxide powder and sintered pellets. It is applicable for the measurement of samples with a mass fraction of chlorine from 5 µg/g to 500 µg/g and with a mass fraction of fluorine from 2 µg/g to 500 µg/g.

4 Principle
The samples are pyrohydrolysed at 850 °C to 1 000 °C in a tubular furnace with steam or moist air or moist oxygen heated to the same temperature. Chlorine and fluorine are trapped as halogenated acids and entrained in an aqueous solution.
Two measurement methods may be used to measure the chlorine and fluorine ions:
a) liquid ion chromatography;
b) ion-selective electrode.
5 Reagents
Use reagents of recognized analytical grade.
5.1 Water, complying with at least grade 1 in accordance with ISO 3696.
5.2 Anhydrous sodium chloride (NaCl).
5.3 Anhydrous sodium fluoride (NaF).
5.4 Sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ).
5.5 Anhydrous sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ).
5.6 Glacial acetic acid (CH 3 COOH), ρ(CH 3 COOH) = 1,06 g/ml.
5.7 Potassium acetate (CH 3 COOK).
5.8 Concentrated eluent solution, c(Na 2 CO 3 ) = 0,018 mol/l and c(NaHCO 3 ) = 0,017 mol/l.
Dissolve 1,908 g of Na 2 CO 3 (5.4) and 1,428 g of NaHCO 3 (5.5) in water (5.1). Pour into a 1 l volumetric flask. Dilute to 1 l with water (5.1). Homogenize.
Instead of Na 2 CO 3 , the eluent solution can also be NaOH solution for instance, c(NaOH) = 0,2 mol/l. This solution can be prepared by dilution in water (5.1) of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution (5.22).
Depending of the sample to be measured and the column used, Na 2 CO 3 or NaOH is used.
5.9 Standard eluent solution, add 100 ml of concentrated eluent solution (5.8) to a 1 l volumetric flask.
Dilute to 1 l with water (5.1). Homogenize.
5.10 Make-up eluent solution, c(Na 2 CO 3 ) = 0,09 mol/l and c(NaHCO 3 ) = 0,085 mol/l.
Dissolve 9,540 g of Na 2 CO 3 (5.4) and 7,140 g of NaHCO 3 (5.5) in water (5.1). Pour into a 1 l volumetric flask. Dilute to 1 l with water (5.1). Homogenize.
