18、solid solution, na homogeneous mixture of two or more components, in the solid state, retaining substantially thestructure of one of the components.4. Summary of Practice4.1 The practice is essentially chemical microscopical, supplemented by optical data obtained by the petrographic method. Theident

19、ification of compounds is made by observing, under the microscope, characteristic reactions and precipitates resulting fromthe action of specific reagents on the solid sample or solutions thereof, and by measuring the optical properties.5. Significance and Use5.1 Chemical composition of water-formed

20、 deposits is a major indicator of proper or improper chemical treatment of processwater, and is often an indicator of operational parameters as well, for example, temperature control. This practice allows for rapiddetermination of constituents present in these deposits, particularly those indication

21、s of improper water treatment, since theyusually have very distinctive and easily recognized optical properties.5.2 This practice, where applicable, eliminates the need for detailed chemical analysis, which is time-consuming, and whichdoes not always reveal how cations and anions are mutually bound.

22、5.3 Qualitative use of this practice should be limited to those deposits whose control is generally known or predictable, basedon treatment and feedwater mineral content, and whose constituents are crystalline, or in other ways optically or morphologicallydistinctive. If these criteria are not met,

23、other techniques of analysis should be used, such as Practice D2332 or Test MethodsD3483, or both.5.4 Quantitative use of this practice should be limited to estimates only. For more precise quantitative results, other methodsshould be used (see 5.3).6. Interferences6.1 Organic material may interfere

24、 with both the petrographic and the chemical procedures. Organics can usually be removedby solvent extraction as recommended in Practices D2331.6.2 Deposits containing solid solutions present a complication in that optical data vary throughout such a system, and unlessthe presence of this complicati

25、on is known, the data may be misinterpreted.6.3 Extremely fine material and opaque material are difficult to identify. When present in appreciable amounts they may cloudover and obscure details of otherwise recognizable particles.6.4 Interference with the chemical tests will be discussed in the proc
