EN 14109:2003 (E)31 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for the determination of potassium contents equal to or greater than0,5 mg/kg.This method is applicable to fatty acid methyl esters intended for addition to mineral oils.WARNING — The use of this method may involve hazardous equipment, materials and operations. Thismethod does not purport to address to all of the safety problems associated with its use, but it is theresponsibility of the user to search and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determinethe applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2 PrincipleThe vegetable oil methyl ester sample is diluted with a xylene solution and a stabilizer.The potassium content in the sample is directly determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry at thewavelength of 766,5 nm. The calibration solutions used are prepared from a potassium organometallic saltdissolved in a mixture of xylene and stabilizer. The addition of a stabilizer to the calibration solutions is necessaryin order to improve their storage (the low element contents are unstable) and the linearity of the calibration.WARNING — The ester sample shall be diluted at least ten times with xylene so that the comparison of themeasurements of the sample solution and standards is valid.NOTEXylene can
