Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly
» Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly is a derivative of Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate in which some of the water molecules have been displaced by glycine, calcium glycinate, magnesium glycinate, potassium glycinate, sodium glycinate, or zinc glycinate. It encompasses a range of aluminum-to-zirconium atomic ratios between 6.0:1 and 10.0:1, and a range of (aluminum plus zirconium)-to-chloride atomic ratios between 1.5:1 and 0.9:1. It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of anhydrous aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate.

Test Preparation—
Prepare as directed in the chapter. If the solution is not clear after dilution to 40 mL, heat for several minutes between 60
and 80, and cool to room temperature. If the solution remains cloudy, repeat from the beginning with the following modification: add 3 mL of hydrochloric acid prior to adjustment of the pH with 6 N ammonium hydroxide.

Monitor Preparation—
Prepare as directed in the chapter, using the same modifications described for Test Preparation if necessary.
Procedure—
To each of the three tubes containing the Standard Preparation, the Test Preparation, and the Monitor Preparation, add 2 mL of pH 3.5 Acetate Buffer, and heat gently to between 60 and 80. To the Standard Preparation add 6 drops of sodium sulfide TS. To the Test Preparation and the Monitor Preparation add 12 drops of sodium sulfide TS. Cool to room temperature, and dilute the contents of each tube with water to 50 mL. Gently mix each tube by inverting twice. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, and view downward over a white surface. The color of the solution from the Test Preparation is not darker than that of the solution from the Standard Preparation, and the color of the solution from the Monitor Preparation is the same as or darker than the color of the solution from the Standard Preparation. If the color of the solution from the Monitor Preparation is lighter than the color of the solution from the Standard Preparation, repeat the procedure with the following modification: after the heating step, to the Monitor Preparation and the Test Preparation add 1.0 mL, instead of 12 drops, of sodium sulfide TS. Not more than 20 µg per g is found.

Limit of iron—
Using Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly instead of Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Limit of iron under Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate. The specified result is obtained (150 µg per g limit).
Content of aluminum—
Using Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly instead of Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Content of aluminum under Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate. Use the result obtained to calculate the Aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio and the (Aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio.
Content of zirconium—
Using Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly instead of Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Content of zirconium under Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate. Use the result obtained to calculate the Aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio and the (Aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio.
Aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio—
Divide the percentage of aluminum found in the test for Content of aluminum by the percentage of zirconium found in the test for Content of zirconium, and multiply by 92.97/26.98, in which 92.97 is the atomic weight of zirconium corrected for 2% hafnium content, and 26.98 is the atomic weight of aluminum: the ratio is between 6.0:1 and 10.0:1.
Content of chloride—
Using Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly instead of Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate, proceed as directed in the test for Content of chloride under Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrate. Use the result obtained to calculate the (Aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio.
(Aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio—
Calculate the (aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio by the formula:
[(Al/26.98) + (Zr/92.97)]/(Cl/35.453)
in which Al, Zr, and Cl are the percentages of aluminum, zirconium, and chloride as determined in the tests for Content of aluminum, Content of zirconium, and Content of chloride, respectively; 26.98 is the atomic weight of aluminum; 92.97 is the atomic weight of zirconium corrected for 2% hafnium content; and 35.453 is the atomic weight of chlorine: the ratio is between 1.5:1 and 0.9:1.
Assay—
Calculate the percentage of anhydrous aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate in the Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly by the formula:
Al({26.98y + 92.97 + 17.01[3y + 4 
(y + 1)/z] + 35.453(y + 1)/z}/26.98y)
in which Al is the percentage of aluminum found in the test for Content of aluminum, y is the aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio found in the test for Aluminum/zirconium atomic ratio, z is the (aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio found in the test for (Aluminum plus zirconium)/chloride atomic ratio, 26.98 is the atomic weight of aluminum, 92.97 is the atomic weight of zirconium corrected for 2% hafnium content, 17.01 is the molecular weight of the hydroxide anion (OH), and 35.453 is the atomic weight of chlorine (Cl).
