1、PALLADIUM, GOLD AND POTASSIUM INSILICA CATALYST BY ICP-AESUOP Method 916-93SCOPEThis method is for determining palladium, gold and potassium in fresh silica catalyst by InductivelyCoupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). The method is suitable for the concentrationranges of 0.2 to 1 ma

2、ss-% palladium, 0.1 to 0.5 mass-% gold and 1 to 5 mass-% potassium. Catalystscontaining more than 1% alumina cannot be analyzed by this method.OUTLINE OF METHODA representative sample of fresh whole pill catalyst is obtained and ground according to UOP Method918. A portion of the ground sample is fu

3、med with hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids and the residue isdissolved in hydrochloric and nitric acids. Scandium is added as an internal standard. The sample solution isaspirated into a computer controlled ICP-AES along with a matrix-matched standard. Concentrations aredetermined by comparison of the

4、 sample emission ratios to the computer-generated standard calibrationcurves. Results are reported on a volatile-free basis at 700C, following duplicate loss on ignition (LOI)determinations by UOP Method 909.APPARATUSReferences to catalog numbers and suppliers are included as a convenience to the me

37、plesolution composition. In addition, the acid content and scandium (internal standard) levels must be matchedbetween samples and standards. In the example below, the Reference Standard is prepared to containapproximately 600 g K/mL, 100 g Pd/mL, 50 g Au/mL and 50 g Sc/mL (the latter as an internals

38、tandard) as follows:1. Pour 6 mL of 10-mg/mL potassium standard into a weighing buret.2. Tare the weighing buret on the analytical balance to read zero.3. Carefully transfer and drain the entire solution into a 100-mL volumetric flask.4. Place the empty weighing buret on the analytical balance and r

39、ecord the differential mass to thenearest 0.1 mg. The solution mass will be read as a minus value on the balance.5. Clean the weighing buret with water, rinse it with acetone and blow-dry with a stream of nitrogen inpreparation for the next addition.6. Repeat Steps 2 to 5, weighing out and transferr

Store the ReferenceStandard in the dark until needed.12. See CALCULATIONS to determine the exact concentrations of palladium, gold and pota

43、ssium in theReference Standard.6 of 10916-93Sample Preparation of Whole Pill Catalyst1. Obtain and grind a representative sample of whole pill catalyst utilizing UOP Method 918.2. Shake the ground sample randomly by hand for 5 minutes to avoid errors caused by stratification dueto settling of the gr

44、ound sample in the bottle, then proceed immediately with Step 3. Once this step is complete, the homogenous powder must not be agitated until after the sample is taken.3. On a top loading balance, weigh out approximately 10-15 g of a thoroughly homogenized, powderedsample into the bottom of a petri

45、dish and gently tap it so as to create a thin layer of sample. Partiallycover the sample with the top of the petri dish and allow to air-equilibrate overnight with the ambientlaboratory air. Due to the hygroscopic properties of silica catalyst samples, an initial air equilibration of the sample prio

46、r toanalysis will result in improved precision.4. Scoop approximately 2.0-2.1 g of the ground air-equilibrated catalyst into a weighing scoop.5. Tare the weighing scoop with sample on the analytical balance to read zero.6. Transfer the catalyst sample carefully, to avoid dust loss, into the bottom o

47、f a 250-mL Teflon beaker.7. Place the empty weighing scoop onto the analytical balance and record the differential mass to thenearest 0.1 mg. The sample mass will be read as a minus value on the balance.8. Obtain duplicate LOIs of the air equilibrated sample according to UOP Method 909. Samples for

48、LOI must be taken at the same time the sample is weighed for the potassium, palladium andgold determination. The two LOIs are to be calculated to three significant figures and the results must agree within 5% relativestandard deviation or the analysis, beginning with Step 4, must be repeated. The pa

49、lladium will be in the from of PdO at 700C, introducing an insignificant positive analytical error of0.0007%.9. Place a Teflon enclosed, magnetic stirring bar into each Teflon beaker and cover with a quartz watchglass. The ribbed quartz watch glass was designed to allow SiF4gases to freely escape while preventing sprayand spatter losses during digestion. Unlike the tight cover Teflon watch glasses, sample digestion can alsobe observed. Due to HF attack on the quartz watch glass, reducing its thickness, eventual replacementafter 10 or more uses is necessary. Alter
