Method 8110
Powder Pillows
Scope and Application:
* Adapted from Matthews, T.G. and Howell, T.C., Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 31 (11) 1181-1184 (1981).
Tips and Techniques
• Analyze samples immediately. Do not preserve for later analysis.
• Wash glassware with Chromic Acid Cleaning Solution (Cat. No. 1233-49) to remove trace contaminants.
• Wipe the outside of sample cells before each insertion into the instrument cell holder. Use a damp towel followed by a dry one to
remove fingerprints or other marks.
• Time and temperature are very important in this test. The sample should be 25 ±1°C, and the times specified in steps must be
followed precisely. A temperature-controlled water bath is recommended for best accuracy.
• Obtain formaldehyde-free water by distilling water from alkaline permanganate (4 g Sodium Hydroxide (Cat. No. 187-34), 2 g
Potassium Permanganate (Cat. No. 769-05) per 500 mL of water). Discard the first 50–100 mL of distillate.
