Physical and chemical indicators shall be in accordance with Table 2.
Appendix A 
Inspection method
WARNING: Some reagents which are used in this test method are toxic or
corrosive, so, be careful when operating! If necessary, perform it in a fume
hood. If it splashes on the skin or eyes, use water to rinse immediately; if
it is serious, seek medical attention immediately.
A.1 General provisions
The reagents and water that are used in this Standard, when no other
requirements are specified, refer to analytical reagents and grade-III water
which is specified in GB/T 6682. The standard titration solution, the standard
solutions, preparations and products for impurity determination, which are used
in the test, are all prepared in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 601, GB/T
602, and GB/T 603, when no other requirements are specified. The used
solution, if not indicated which solvent is used, refers to aqueous solution.
A.2 Identification test
A.2.1 Reagents and materials
A.2.1.1 Hydrochloric acid.
A.2.1.2 Ethanol
A.2.1.3 Acetic acid solution: 1+1.
A.2.1.4 Ammonia solution: 2+3.
A.2.1.5 Silver nitrate solution: 17 g/L.
A.2.1.6 Sodium hydrogen tartrate solution: 100 g/L.
A.2.1.7 Platinum wire ring.
A.2.2 Identification method
A.2.2.1 Potassium ion identification
Weigh 1 g of the sample; add 20 mL of water to dissolve it; use a platinum wire
ring dipped in hydrochloric acid to wet it; burn to colorless on the flame. Then,
dip the test solution and burn it on the flame. The flame shall be purple under
the cobalt glass.
acid standard titration solution consumed by the sample. To prevent the solution
from absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, continue to use the sodium
hydroxide standard titration solution to titrate the solution to a pH of about 8.8,
where a sudden jump point appears; record the volume V2 of the sodium
hydroxide standard titration solution consumed in this titration (that is, the
volume of sodium hydroxide standard titration solution consumed in titration
from pH ≈ 4.0 to pH ≈ 8.8).
A.3.5 Result calculation
The volume V1 of the hydrochloric acid standard titration solution consumed by
the sample solution, in milliliter (mL), is calculated according to Formula (A.1).
Where:
50 – volume of the added hydrochloric acid standard titration solution, in
milliliters (mL);
c1 – concentration of the hydrochloric acid standard titration solution, in moles
per liter (mol/L);
V – volume of the sodium hydroxide standard titration solution that is consumed
when it is titrated with sodium hydroxide standard titration solution to pH ≈
4.0, after the sample solution is added with 50 mL of hydrochloric acid
standard titration solution, in milliliters (mL);
c2 – concentration of the sodium hydroxide standard titration solution, in moles
per liter (mol/L);
When V1 × c1 ≥ 2 × V2 × c2, the mass fraction w1 of tripotassium orthophosphate
(calculated on the burning dry basis) is calculated according to Formula (A.2).
When V1 × c1 < 2 × V2 × c2, the mass fraction w1 of tripotassium orthophosphate
(calculated on the burning dry basis) is calculated according to Formula (A.3).
Where:
V2 – volume of the sodium hydroxide standard titration solution that is
consumed from pH ≈ 4.0 to pH ≈ 8.8, in milliliters (mL);
The test result is based on the arithmetic mean of the parallel determination
results. The absolute difference between two independent determination results
that are obtained under repeatability conditions is: not more than 0.01% for
anhydrous tripotassium orthophosphate; not more than 0.1% for hydrated
tripotassium orthophosphate.
A.5 Determination of water insoluble matter
A.5.1 Instruments and apparatuses
A.5.1.1 Sintered-glass filter crucible: The aperture of the filter plate is 5 μm ~
15 μm.
A.5.1.2 Electrothermal constant-temperature dry box: The temperature control
range is 105 °C ± 2 °C.
A.5.2 Analysis steps
Weigh about 20 g of the sample, accurate to 0.01 g; place it in a 400 mL beaker;
add 200 mL of water and heat to dissolve; use a sintered-glass filter crucible
that has been dried to a constant mass at 105 °C ± 2 °C in advance for suction
filtration; use hot water to wash, until the filtrate is neutral. Place the sintered-
glass filter crucible in an electrothermal constant-temperature dry box at 105 °C
± 2 °C to dry until the mass is constant.
A.5.3 Result calculation
Calculate the mass fraction w3 of the water insoluble matter according to
Formula (A.5).
Where:
m5 – mass of the water insoluble matter and the sintered-glass filter crucible, in
grams (g);
m4 – mass of the sintered-glass filter crucible, in grams (g);
m3 – sample mass, in grams (g).
The test result is based on the arithmetic mean of the parallel determination
results. The absolute difference between two independent determination results
that are obtained under repeatability conditions is not more than 0.02%.
