| Abstract | This report details the interlaboratory validation of a method for the determination of perchlorate in fertilizers. In this method (EPA/600/R-01/026), a solid sample of fertilizer is ground. Subsequently, the ground material is either leached with deionized water to dissolve any perchlorate salt in the case of minimally soluble fertilizers (e.g. supertriplephosphate or timed-release products), or simply dissolved in the case of highly soluble fertilizers (e.g. urea, NaNO3 or KCl). The resulting aqueous solution is then subjected to ion chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection. Four laboratories applied the method to field samples of 48 different products (commodity chemicals) and to seven quality control samples prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additional tests were conducted by three other laboratories on specific materials. Recovery (81–111%) was demonstrated on spikes of known concentration, and a preliminary assured reporting level was determined for each fertilizer matrix by each laboratory. Injection-to-injection precision was satisfactory: generally less than 15% difference, and always less than 25%. All of the laboratories used Dionex IonPac AG16 guard and AS16 separation columns with NaOH or KOH as eluent. Detection was by suppressed conductivity. The method was shown to be sufficiently robust for the screening of fertilizers for perchlorate, but performance was low on a mixture of siliceous minerals (kaolinite and bentonite). Both laboratory performance and method performance are validated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
