5、 Method for Moisture Content of Paper andPaperboard by Oven Drying3.Summary of Test Methods3.1 Three test methods for each element are described:polarographic,either gravimetric or volumetric,and atomicabsorption.The gravimetric procedure is suitable if a po-larograph is not available.For the determ
6、ination of zinc in azinc-bearing pigment,the volumetric procedure is recom-mended,because the polarographic procedure is insensitiveover 25%in levels.The polarographic procedure can be usedfor the determination of zinc and cadmium in paper and forcadmium in cadmium-bearing pigments.The preferred met
7、hodfor each material is based on its concentration and on theavailability of equipment.3.2 When zinc is to be determined volumetrically(cadmiumabsent)one precipitation of heavy metals with washing issufficient.3.3 In the atomic absorption procedure sensitivities for 1%absorption are 0.02 mg/cm3Zn an

9、onally used in filled paper,paper coatings,andhigh pressure laminates and wallpaper.Some forms of zincoxide have photoelectric properties and are found in certainpapers used for photoreproduction.Zinc or cadmium pigmentsare sometimes added to papers to cause fluorescence,and zincoxide has been used
10、to enhance the cohesive strength of sometypes of paper coatings.5.Test Method APolarographic5.1 Apparatus:5.1.1 Polarograph,of the manually operated type.Arecord-ing polarograph may be used,although this method is writtenspecifically for a manually operated instrument.5.1.2 Electrolysis Equipment,in
