6、solved.The coldsolution is diluted with water and transferred to a 250-mLvolumetric flask.An aliquot of this solution containing be-tween 10 and 30 mg of cobalt is transferred to a 250-mLbeakercontaining measured volumes of potassium ferricyanide andammonium citrate solutions,ammonia,and petroleum e
7、ther.The excess of ferricyanide is then back-titrated with a standardcobalt solution.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method sets forth a procedure by whichcatalyst samples may be compared either on an interlaboratoryor intralaboratory basis.It is anticipated that catalyst producersand users will
8、 find this test method to be of value.5.Interferences5.1 None of the elements normally found in fresh cobalt-molybdenum catalysts interferes with this method.(Elementssuch as nickel,phosphorus,silicon,aluminum,and molybde-num do not interfere;elements such as iron,chromium,vanadium,and manganese do
