Summary of Test Method10.1 The sample is dissolved in dilute HNO3, excess acid isevaporated, and the solution diluted to a known volume. Thetest solution is as

34、pirated into the air/acetylene flame of anatomic absorption spectrometer. The absorption of the reso-nance line energy from the spectrum of each element ismeasured and compared with that from a set of calibrationsolutions of the same element in a matched nickel matrix.11. Interferences11.1 Elements

35、ordinarily present in nickel metal do notpresent spectral interferences in the atomic absorption analysis.11.2 For the determination of silver, take care to avoidcontamination of the sample and calibration solutions withchloride.11.3 Potential background absorption interference is elimi-nated by use

36、 of matched matrix calibration solutions preparedfrom high-purity nickel metal. See Note 1.NOTE 1In this test method, any effect of nonspecific absorption andlight scatter is compensated for by matching the matrix of the calibrationsolutions with the test solutions. Also, since the same lot of HNO3i

37、s usedfor both calibration and test solutions, the reagent blank is incorporated inthe calibration curve. Thus, the calibration curve may not pass through theorigin.12. Apparatus12.1 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer:12.1.1 The atomic absorption spectrometer used in this testmethod should meet the inst

42、3should beincreased in proportion. Even larger sample masses can beused, with greater amounts of HNO3to prepare a moreconcentrated nickel test solution.
