8. Filters, made from heat resistant glass having a pore size between 40 mm and
100 mm (pore symbol P100 in accordance with ISO 4793).
9. Balance, accurate to 0. 2 mg.

Reagents:
 Distilled water or grade 3 water complying with ISO 3696.
 Formaldehyde solution, appx. 37% or 3, 70,000ppm (W/V or W/W).
 Acetylacetone reagent (Nash reagent).
Dissolve 150 g of ammonium acetate in about 800 ml of water; add 3 ml of glacial
acetic acid and 2 ml of acetylacetone, transfer into a 1000 ml volumetric flask and
make up to the mark with water. Store in a brown bottle.

Note: The reagent darkens in color slightly on standing over the first 12 h. For this
reason the reagent should be held 12 h before use. Period of time, at least 6 weeks.

 Preparation of formaldehyde stock solution 1500 mg/l:

3.8 ml of formaldehyde solution (37%) dilute to one litre with water in a 1L VF.
Record the accurate concentration of this standardized stock solution. This stock
solution will keep for up to four weeks and is used to prepare standard dilutions.

 Preparation of formaldehyde standard solution 75 mg/l:

Take 5ml formaldehyde stock solution from 1500ppm in a 100ml volumetric
flask, upto mark 100ml with DW.
1500 ppm (S2 ) 75ppm (S1 )

Here, S1 = 1500ppm, S2 = 75ppm, Total volumeV2= 100ml, V1 =?

V1S1= V2S2; So, V1 = V2S2 / S1 = 100 x 75 / 1500 = 5ml.

 At 1st, take five VF of 100ml & clean it carefully. Mark it level on VF

successively with 0.15 ppm, 0.30 ppm, 1.5 ppm, 3.0 ppm, 6.0 ppm.

Calculations of ISO method

We know that,
Formaldehyde content (F) in ppm = {(SV – SB) – MB} x 100 / SW.

Where,
SV = sample value in ppm.
SB = sample Blank in ppm.
MB = Method Blank in ppm.
SW = sample weight in gm.

Given from data,

SV = 0.4967 ppm
SB = 0.0357 ppm
MB= 0.1026 ppm
SW = 1.0 g

F = {(0.4967- 0.0357) – 0.1026} x 100 / 1.0.

= 36 ppm.

Calculations of JIS method

We know that,
Corrected Absorbance (A) = = (As – Ab) – MB.

Where,
As= Sample absorbance
Ab= Blank absorbance
MB = Method blank

Given from data,

As= 0.08 abs
Ab= 0.0045 abs
MB = 0.015 abs

A = (0.08 – 0.0045) – 0.015.

= 0.07 abs.
