1、Designation: D4453 17Standard Practice forHandling of High Purity Water Samples1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4453; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in paren

2、theses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice2covers concepts for handling high puritywater samples needed for the measurement of ever-decreasinglevels of specified impurities that a

3、re encountered in theoperation of modern high-pressure boilers and turbines. Thehandling of blanks associated with the analysis of high puritywater samples is also covered by this practice. The techniquespresented can help the investigator increase the accuracy ofanalyses performed.1.2 This practice

4、 is applicable to water and steam samplesfrom “zero solids treated” once-through or drum-type boilers,reactor coolant water, electronic grade water, or any otherprocess water where analyte concentrations are in the low partsper billion (micrograms per litre) range.1.3 The values stated in SI units a

5、re to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practice

Significance and Use4.1 The determination of trace impurities (on the order ofparts per billion) in high purity water places extreme require-ments on all aspects of the analytical system. This is part

8、icu-larly true when ubiquitous species such as sodium and chlorideare of interest because they can potentially be introduced ascontaminants at almost every step of an analytical procedure.Contamination can occur during sample collection, duringsample storage by leaching of improperly cleaned contain

9、ers,during sample transfer, and by handling with pipets, syringes,etc., and during the actual analysis by contaminated reagentsand sample cells and loop systems. It is also possible that tracecontaminants can be lost from samples by volatilization orprecipitation, by diffusion into the matrix of the

10、 containermaterial, and by “plating out” on the walls of sampling lines byflow phenomena.4.2 Strict adherence to a given procedure is necessary toachieve good results at trace levels of analysis because verysmall differences in procedure execution will affect precisionand the addition or loss of nan

It is intended that all reagents shall conform tothe specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents ofthe American Chemical Soc

12、iety, where such specifications areavailable.4Other grades may be used, provided it is firstascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity topermit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determi-nation.5.2 Purity of WaterReference to water that is used forreagent preparation, rin

23、ater, cap,shake, and empty. Wear disposable polyethylene gloves whenhandling the bottles from this point onward. If a contaminatedsurface is touched, remove and replace the glove.6.2.1.5 Repeat 6.2.1.4.6.2.1.6 Completely fill the bottle with water, cap, and allowto soak for 48 h.After filling, place

24、 the bottle in a polyethylenebag and seal the bag during the storage period. The watershould be changed at weekly intervals during long storageperiods.6.2.2 Analysis of Other Trace Ions:66.2.2.1 Containers made from the following materialsshould be adequate: HDPE, LDPE, polysulfone,polycarbonate, po

25、lystyrene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene. The temperature of the samples should not be above50C when taken or during the storage period to preventleaching from the containers. (See 6.3.3.)6.2.2.2 Fill the bottle one third full with water, cap, shake,and empty. Wear disposable polyethylene glo

26、ves when han-dling the bottles from this point onward. If a contaminatedsurface is touched, remove and replace the glove.6.2.2.3 Repeat 6.2.2.2.6.2.2.4 Completely fill the bottle with water, cap, and allowto soak for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 5 days.After filling, place the bottle in a pol

27、yethylene bag and seal thebag during the storage period. The water should be changed at5 day intervals during long storage periods.6.2.3 Analysis of Trace Organics (Acid and Base Neutrals):6.2.3.1 The sample bottle must be borosilicate glass with aTFE-fluorocarbon-lined or aluminum-lined cap.6.2.3.2

28、 Wash in hot detergent water and rinse with tap waterthree times.6.2.3.3 Rinse three times with water.6.2.3.4 Bottles must be either heated to a minimum of400C in a muffle furnace (or dry heat sterilizer) for at least 30min or solvent rinsed as in 6.2.3.5.6.2.3.5 Rinse with solvents in the following

29、 order:methanol, n-hexane. Gloves worn during the solvent rinse maycontain plasticizers (phthalates) that may cause contamination.Polyurethane, polyethylene, or nitrile rubber gloves are notlikely to have phthalates and should be used. (WarningWhen rinsing with solvents, use a fume hood with propere

30、xhaust flow.)6.2.3.6 Dry with organic-free nitrogen to drive off thevolatile solvents.6.2.3.7 Immediately cap the bottle with a TFE-fluorocarbon-lined or aluminum-lined cap which has beenpreviously cleaned using the same method.6.2.4 Analysis of Trace Volatile Organics:6.2.4.1 The sample container m

31、ust be glass with a TFE-fluorocarbon-lined septum and screw cap properly tightened toprovide a hermetic seal.6.2.4.2 Wash in hot detergent water, and rinse with tap waterthree times.6.2.4.3 Rinse three times with water.6.2.4.4 Heat the vials and septa at 105C for 1 h, then coolto room temperature in

32、 an enclosed contaminant-free area. Capthe vials with the TFE-fluorocarbon lining of the septum down.6.3 Sampling:6.3.1 Errors due to the sampling process can be minimizedusing an on-line measurement technique. A proper choice ofmaterials to conduct the sample to the measuring instrumentand the samp

33、les residence time in transit can affect the finalaccuracy.6.3.2 Some of the same precautions followed in the prepa-ration of the sample containers must also be followed whencollecting grab samples (see above). It is recommended thatsample conditioning condensers, coolers, and associated fit-tings a

34、nd valves be of stainless steel and maintained leak free(See Practice D1066). Condensate temperature should be50C and preferably near ambient temperature.6.3.3 Any samples to be stored more than 24 h should berefrigerated (above freezing and 6C). Samples requiringtrace PO43,NO3,NH4+, and SO42-determ

35、inations should berefrigerated at above freezing and 6C at the time of collec-tion. These species are subject to biological degradation.6.3.4 Establish a continuous flow in a well-flushed samplingline (24 h recommended). Do not readjust the flow rate lessthan 45 min before sampling. (See Practice D1

36、066.)5Except alkali and alkali earth metals.6Ions such as Na+,K+,Cl,Ca2+,Mg2+,F,Br,NH4+,NO3,SO42, and PO43.D4453 1726.3.5 Put on disposable polyethylene gloves before handlingthe sample bottle. Empty the bottle, rinse with the sample(including cap) three times, fill only to the rim to prevent ionict

37、ransport in the water film on the outside of the sample bottle.Replace the bottle in the plastic bag and collect a duplicatesample.6.3.6 Samples collected for the analysis of non-alkali tracemetals should be acidified to a pH of 2 with 1 mLof ultrapureHNO3per 500 mL of sample. The concentrated acid

38、should beadded to the sample bottle so as to keep its contact time withthe bottle to a minimum.7Fill these bottles just to the rim toavoid loss of the acid. Replace the bottle in the plastic bag andcollect a duplicate sample.6.3.7 When sampling for volatile organics the vial should befilled to overf

39、lowing so that a convex meniscus is formed. Thecap and septum with the TFE-fluorocarbon side down is placedon the meniscus and sealed allowing no air into the vial.(WarningAvoid warming the bottle to prevent breakage.)6.3.8 In the event an automatic sampler is being used, caremust be taken during se

40、t-up, and blank water must be runthrough the sampler following the initial set-up to assureadequate rinsing prior to use.6.4 Analytical Blank:6.4.1 The ability to control the level of the analytical blankhas seriously affected the accuracy of modern methods of traceelement analysis. Often it is the

41、variability in the blankcorrection and not the absolute value of the blank that affectsthe accuracy of the analysis. As the variability becomes asignificant percentage of the sample amount, more determina-tions of the blank are necessary so that the variability can beestimated with some degree of re

42、liability. It is a mistake to basethe blank correction on a single determination. At least threereplicate runs for the blank determination as well as thesubsequent analyses of each sample are recommended.6.4.2 All precautions observed in the preparation of bottlesfor sampling of water shall also be

43、observed for bottles used inthe preparation of analytical blanks.6.4.3 When acidifying samples for trace metals, also acidifythe blank with the same amount of acid.7.
