This method describes a procedure for determining manganese in fertiliser extracts.
This procedure is applicable to analysing samples of fertilisers extracted by Methods 25a and 25b for which a declaration of total and/or water-soluble manganese is required.
After suitable treatment and dilution of the extracts, the manganese level is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.
Hydrochloric acid solution, about 6 M
See Method 25d (4.1).
Hydrochloric acid solution, about 0.5 M
See Method 25d (4.2).
Lanthanum salt solutions (10 g of La per litre)
See Method 25d (4.3).
Manganese calibration solutions
4.4.1. Manganese stock solution (1,000 μg/ml)
In a 250 ml beaker, weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg, 1 g of manganese, add 25 ml of 6 M hydrochloric acid solution (4.1). Heat on a hotplate until the manganese is completely dissolved. When cool, transfer quantitatively to a 1,000 ml volumetric flask. Make up to volume with water and mix thoroughly.
4.4.2. Manganese working solution (100 μg/ml)
Place 20 ml of the stock solution (4.4.1) in a 200 ml volumetric flask. Make up to volume with the 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution (4.2) and mix thoroughly.
Atomic absorption spectrometer: see Method 25d (5). The apparatus must be fitted with a source of rays characteristic of manganese (279.6 nm).
Manganese extract solution
See Methods 25a and/or 25b and, if appropriate 25c.
Preparation of the test solution
See Method 25d (6.2). The test solution must contain 10% by volume of lanthanum salt solution (4.3).
Preparation of the blank solution
See Method 25d (7.1). The blank solution must contain 10% by volume of the lanthanum salt solution used in 6.2.
Preparation of the calibration solutions
See Method 25d (7.2).
For an optimum interval of 0 to 5 μg/ml manganese, place 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ml, respectively, of the working solution (4.4.2) in a series of 100 ml volumetric flasks. Where necessary, adjust the hydrochloric acid concentration to bring it as close as possible to that of the test solution. To each flask add 10 ml of the lanthanum salt solution used in 6.2. Make up to 100 ml with the 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution (4.2) and mix thoroughly. These solutions contain 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 μg/ml manganese respectively.
Determination
See Method 25d (7.3). Prepare the spectrometer (5) for measurements at a wavelength of 279.6 nm.
See Method 25d (8).
The percentage of manganese in the fertiliser is as follows:

where:
Mn is the quantity of manganese expressed as a percentage of the fertiliser;
xs is the concentration in μg/ml of Mn in the test solution (6.2);
xb is the concentration in μg/ml of Mn in the blank solution (7.1);
V is the volume in ml of the extract obtained using Method 25a or 25b;
D is the factor corresponding to the dilution performed in 6.2;
M is the mass in g of the test sample taken using Method 25a or 25b.
Calculation of dilution factor D: where (a1), (a2), (a3), . . ., (ai) and (a) are aliquot portions and (v1), (v2), (v3), . . ., (vi) and (100) the volumes in ml corresponding to their respective dilutions, dilution factor D will be equal to:
