Section I Determination of Calcium and Magnesium Oxides Content
EDTA Titrimetric Method
1 Subject Content and Application Scope
This standard specifies the determination of calcium and magnesium oxides content by EDTA titrimetric method.
This standard is applicable to the determination of calcium and magnesium oxides content in limestone products for chemical industry and the determination range is 1%~4% for magnesium oxide and greater than 49% for calcium oxide.

3 Method Summary
Decompose the specimen with hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid and perchloric acid, mask interference elements such as iron and aluminium with triethanolamine, and titrate calcium with EDTA standard titration solution by taking calcium carboxylic acid as indicator in the solution greater than 12.5 in pH value. When pH≈10, titrate the total calcium and magnesium with EDTA standard titration solution by taking neolan blue K - naphthol green B as mixed indicator and calculate the magnesium oxide content by subtraction method.
