Characteristic mass iscalculated from the volume of solution in the furnace and theslope of the calibration curve or the concentration that gives aninstrument response in the middle of the working range (that is,approximately 0.100 or 0.200 A-s

Gravimetric dilution using contamination-free,disposable plasticware is recommended whenever possiblebecause glass volumetric flasks require time-consuming, acid-cleaning procedures to eliminate contamination. Gravimetricdilution may be used when densities

20、and major components ofthe diluent and concentrated solution are the same (that is, bothsolutions contain 4 % acetic acid). Volumetric flasks must beused when the densities are different (that is, as when diluentcontains 4 % acetic acid and stock standards contain 2 % nitricacid). Gravimetric diluti

Add4 % acetic acid so that weight of final solution providesrequired concentration. Calculate concentration in final solu-tion as:C25 C13 W1/W2(1)

26、 (g/mL) that can be reliably measured in leach solutions.In this test method, the sample concentration limit is theconcentration of lead or cadmium that produces 0.050A-s. Thevalue 0.050 A-s is chosen to establish the limit of this testmethod for two reasons; 0.050A-s is ten times greater than thema

27、ximum response (0.005 A-s) typically expected from peri-odic, repeated analysis of a contamination-free, 0 ng/mLsolution and thus guarantees that concentrations in samplesolutions are significantly (ten times) greater than those in atrue blank; and percent relative standard deviation of instru-ment

28、response (relative variability as a result of instrumentprecision) is better for 0.050 A-s than for lower values. Thesample concentration limit depends on the characteristic massof the instrument and volume of solution deposited in thefurnace; the numerical value of the limit increases as charac-ter

29、istic mass increases and as the volume of solution depositedin the furnace decreases.3.1.12 sample mass limit (SML)a low mass (g) ofextractable lead or cadmium that can be reliably measured bythis method.

The range of linea

The linear range of instrument responsewas chosen as the working range of this method becauseresponses in the linear range are well below those at whichro

Summary of Test Method4.1 Lead and cadmium are extracted from the food-contactsurface of test vessels by filling them with 4 % acetic acid towithin 6 to 7 mm (14 in.) of overflowing and le

34、aching them for24 h at 20 to 24C (68 to 75F). Lead and cadmium aredetermined by GFAAS using a chemical modifier and instru-mental background correction. Concentrations in leach solu-tions are calculated using a calibration curve and linear leastsquares regression.5. Significance and Use5.1 Toxic eff

35、ects of lead and cadmium are well known andrelease of these elements from foodware is regulated by manycountries. Regulatory decisions are based on results of 24-hleaching with acetic acid because results of this test method areprecise and accurate and this test method is easy to use.Concentrations

36、of lead and cadmium extracted by food may bedifferent from results of this method, however, because acidity,contact time, and temperature typical of consumer use aredifferent from those of this test method.5.2 This test method is intended for application only incontamination-free settings and should

37、 be performed by well-qualified technical personnel. It is recognized that it is not apractical or appropriate method to use in a nonlaboratoryenvironment for quality assurance and control of the ceramicprocess. Users are advised to use Test Method C738 (flameAAS) for purposes of the latter.C1466 00

38、 (2012)26. Interferences6.1 Nonspecific absorption and scattering of light as a resultof concomitant species in leach solutions may produce errone-ously high results. Instrumental background correction is usedto compensate for this interference.6.2 Concomitant elements in leach solutions alter the a

39、tomi-zation process and thus degrade or enhance instrumentalresponse. This problem, generally referred to as matrix inter-ference, is controlled by diluting leach solutions and by usinga chemical modifier and is monitored by calculating percentrecovery from a fortified (spiked) portion of leach solu

40、tion.6.3 Contamination from laboratory glassware, supplies, andenvironmental particulate matter (dust) may cause erroneouslyhigh results. Contamination is minimized by keeping workareas and labware scrupulously clean, using plastic labwarewhenever possible, using acid-cleaning procedures when glassl

41、abware is required, and protecting samples and supplies fromdust.Analysts must establish contamination control proceduresbefore attempting sample analysis because correcting for leadand cadmium contamination that is sporadic (heterogeneous)by the practice of “blank subtraction” is not scientifically

42、 valid.6.4 Spectral interferences due to direct line overlap areextremely rare when hollow cathode lamps are used and are notexpected from leach solutions.7.

Use wavelengths of 283.3 and228.8 nm for lead and cadmium, respectively. Record instru-ment response as peak ar

Peakarea compensates for small differences in peak shape anappearance time that occur in leach and calibration solutions.7.2 Gas Supply for Furnace, high purity (99.99 %) argon.7.3 Cooling Water for FurnaceUse device that controlstemperature and recirculates coolant

46、.7.4 Adjustable Macro- and MicropipettesManually oper-ated pipets with disposable, colorless, plastic tips and withcapacity ranging from 10 L to 10 mL are acceptable.Motorized pipets capable of automatic dilution are preferred.7.5 Plastic LabwareUse plastic or Teflon labware (gradu-ated cylinders, b

47、eakers, stirrers, containers, pipet tips, autosam-pler cups) for all procedures except preparation of intermediatelead and cadmium solutions (8.7). Disposable labware thatdoes not need precleaning is preferred.3When precleaning isnecessary to eliminate contamination, rinse plastic labwarewith 10 % (

48、1+9) nitric acid followed by rinsing with copiousquantities of reagent water. Air dry the ware in a dust-freeenvironment.7.6 GlasswareUse new volumetric flasks dedicated foruse with only this method to prepare intermediate calibrationsolutions. Do not use glassware used for other laboratoryoperation

Dedicatedglassware may be reused after rinsing with copious quantitiesof reagent water and repeating the acid-cleaning procedure.7.7 Gloves, Powder-Free VinylWear gloves when han-dling test vessels to prevent contamination.7.8 Polyethylene Bags, Self-SealingCover or wrap lab-war
