Chemical analysis of refractories containing alumina, zirconia and silica - Refractories containing 5 percent to 45 percent of ZrO2 (alternative to the X-ray fluorescence method) - Part 1: Apparatus, reagents and dissolution (ISO 21079-1:2008) EN ISO 21079-1:2008

Publication date:   Nov 30, 2009

Scope

ISO 21079-1:2008 specifies methods for the chemical analysis of AZS (alumina, zirconia, and silica) refractory products (containing 5 % to 45 % of ZrO2) and raw materials, using traditional ("wet") methods, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission (ICP-AE) spectrometry and flame atomic absorption (FAA) spectrometry. It covers apparatus, reagents and dissolution methods.
ISO 21079-1:2008 is not applicable to MgO-based refractories.
ISO 21079-1:2008 gives alternatives to the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method given in ISO 12677.
