1 Scope
This part of ISO 21079 specifies methods for the chemical analysis of AZS (alumina, zirconia, and silica)
refractory products (containing 5 % to 45 % of ZrO2) and raw materials, using traditional (“wet”) methods, inductively coupled plasma
atomic emission (ICP-AE) spectrometry and flame atomic absorption (FAA) spectrometry.
It covers apparatus, reagents and dissolution methods.
The range of determination is given in Table 1.
Table 1
—
Range of determination (% by mass)
| Component | Range | Component | Range |
|---|---|---|---|

NOTE The values other than LOI are on an ignited basis. |
|||
| LOI | –1 to 40 | MgO | 0,01 to 2 |
| SiO2 | 0,1 to 45 | Na2O | 0,01 to 3 |
| Al2O3 | 1 to 80 | K2O | 0,01 to 1 |
| Fe2O3 | 0,01 to 2 | Cr2O3 | 0,01 to 3 |
| TiO2 | 0,01 to 5 | ZrO2 | 5 to 45 |
| CaO | 0,01 to 2 | HfO2 | 0,01 to 2 |
This part of ISO 21079 is not applicable to MgO-based refractories.
NOTE This part of ISO 21079 gives alternatives to the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method given in ISO 12677.
