The alkalinity in leachate mainly comes from free cyanide and lime (CaO). The so-called protective base refers to the content of free calcium oxide. Therefore, the base of free cyanide should be offset by silver nitrate, then calcium oxide should be titrated with oxalic acid with phenolphthalein as indicator.
AgNO3+2NaCN=NaAg(CN)2+NaNO3
H2C2O4·2H2O+CaO=Ca2C2O4+3H2O
analytical reagent:
(1) Phenolphthalein :1% ethanol solution;
(2) Oxalic acid standard solution: weighing 2.241 g oxalic acid analytical pure, dissolved in boiled and cooled distilled water, transferred into 1000 ml capacity bottle, diluted with distilled water to the standard line, shake well. This solution is equivalent to 1 mg of calcium oxide per milliliter.
Analytical procedures:
Adding 1% phenolphthalein indicator 2 ~ 3 drops to the solution after determination of free cyanide, see "determination of free sodium cyanide in leachate". Titrate with oxalic acid standard solution until red disappear as the end point.
Calculation of the concentration of free calcium oxide by the following formula:
CaO(g/l)=(V1·T)/V0
In the form: V1-titration consumption of oxalic acid standard solution (ml)
T- oxalic Acid to calcium oxide (mg / ml)
V0- amount of liquid taken (ml)
