Name: SODIUM CALCIUM MAGNESIUM POLYPHOSPHATE, GLASSY
CAS No.: 65997-17-3
Formula Weight: Unknown
Chemical Formula: (MPO3) n M2O Where M = Na, 1/2 Ca,
1/2 Mg
n =
P2O5 = 66-70%
Description:
White to colorless plates, granules or powder.
Use:
5
Corrosion inhibitor, stabilizer for dissolved copper,
iron, and magnesium and as a threshold scale inhibitor.
Purity Requirements:
Analyses of available grades of sodium calcium magnesium
polyphosphate (glassy) show the presence of cadmium and
lead, but at levels far below that which would necessitate
RMIC values based on a maximum dosage of 15 mg/liter. If
analyses are desired, the following protocol is recom-
mended.
Bulk Sample Collection:
Sample in accordance with Standard for Sodium Tripoly-
phosphate, AWWA B503-78, American Water Works Associa-
tion, Denver, Colorado (1978).

Analytical Sample Preparation:
Weigh out 2.5 g of sodium calcium magnesium polyphosphate.
In a 150-ml acid-washed beaker, dissolve the sample in 100
ml of deionized distilled water. Under a hood, acidify
the solution with concentrated HNC3 to a pH of less than
2. Gently heat the solution to reduce the volume below
100 ml, making certain that it does not boil. Quantita-
tively transfer to a 100-ml acid-washed volumetric flask
and make to volume with deionized distilled water. Pro-
cess a reagent blank by the same procedure.
Sample Analyses:
The analyses are to be performed on the sodium calcium
magnesium polyphosphate solution in accordance with:
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste-
water, 15th Edition, American Public Health Association,
Washington, D.C. (1981).
