6.0 DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

6.1 Log Book


6.2 QC report / COA

7.0 PROCEDURES
7.1 Weight ~0.2-0.5 g of sample and put into a 250 mL flask.
7.2 Add 20 mL cyclohexane to dissolve the sample. Warm the flask slightly if necessary.
7.3 Add 25 mL Wijs solution, insert a stopper, shake gently and placed in the dark for 1 hour.
7.4 Add 20 mL of 100 g L-1 potassium iodide (Weigh 5 g KI, dissolve in to 50 mL water) and
100 mL distilled water.
7.5 Titrate with sodium thiosulphate solution until yellow iodine colour almost disappeared.
7.6 Add 1-2 mL starch indicator, shake vigorously until blue colour disappear. Repeat the
same for blank with no sample added.
Iodine value = [12.69N(V2 –V1)]/W
N = normality of sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3)
V2 = volume of Na2S2O3 solution used for blank
V1 = volume of Na2S2O3 solution used for sample
W = weight of sample in gram (g)

8.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE


8.1 Keep away the solvents from heat/spark/open flames/hot surfaces.2

8.2 In case of skin contact, remove/take off immediately all contaminated clothing
and rinse skin with water/shower. In case of eye contact, remove contact lenses (if
present) and rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.

8.3 Dispose of waste to an appropriate treatment and disposal facility.
