Conversely, themethods shall not be applied for analyses until the applicability has been demonstrated.1.2 In normal use, the procedure can detect 0.1 g/mL of F. The normal range of analysis is from 0.1

5、to 1.6 g/mL of F. Higherconcentrations can be analyzed by careful dilution of samples with reagent water. If digested samples routinely exceed 1.6 g/mLof F, the analytical portion of the pump manifold can be modified to reduce sensitivity. However, the best procedure is to analyzea smaller aliquot o

Most accurate results are obtained when the fluoride concentration falls in the middle or upper partof the calibration curve.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

Summary of Test Methods4.1 These semiautomated methods are based on the distillation of hydrogen fluoride (HF) from the sample and subsequentreaction of the distillate with aliza

16、rin fluorine blue-lanthanum nitrate reagent, to form a blue complex which is measuredcolorimetrically at 624 nm (1)4, or the subsequent measurement with a specific ion probe.4.2 General, Plant Material:4.2.1 The plant material including leaf samples, washed or unwashed, is dried, and ground, then di

17、ssolved with perchloric acidand diluted to 50 mL with water. In the case of leaf samples, an appreciable amount of fluoride may be deposited on the externalleaf surfaces. This fluoride behaves differently physiologically from fluoride absorbed into the leaf and it is often desirable to washit from t

18、he surface as a preliminary step in the analysis. Details of a leaf-washing process are described in 9.1.4.3 General, Atmospheric Samples:4.3.1 Test Methods D3269 contains acceptable procedures and also techniques for the proper preparation of atmosphericsamples. Test Methods D3266, D3267, and D3268

19、 are sampling procedures for ambient air and each method contains specificinstructions for sample preparation prior to analyses by the semiautomated method.4.4 General, System Operation:4.4.1 The dissolved digest is pumped into the polytetrafluoroethylene coil of a microdistillation device maintaine

20、d at 170C(2-6).Astream of air carries the acidified sample through a coil of TFE-fluorocarbon tubing to a fractionation column. The fluorideand water vapor distilled from the sample are swept up the fractionation column into a condenser, and the condensate passed intoa small collector. Acid and soli

21、d material pass through the bottom of the fractionation column and are collected for disposal. Acidand solid material pass through the bottom of the fractionation column and are collected for disposal. In the colorimetric method,the distillate is mixed continuously with alizarin fluorine blue-lantha

22、num reagent, the colored stream passes through a 15-mmtubular flow cell of a colorimeter, and the absorbance measured at 624 nm. In the potentiometric method, the distillate is mixedcontinually with a buffer, the mixed streams pass through a flow-through fluoride ion electrode, and the differential

23、millivoltageis measured with an electrometer. The impulse is transmitted to a recorder.4.4.2 All pieces of apparatus are commercially available, or may be adapted from commercially available equipment. The testmethod can also be run on most commercially available robot chemical analyzers. Details of

24、 construction of the microdistillationdevice are described in 7.10. Earlier versions of this test method have been published (3,5,6).4.5 Principle of Operation:4.5.1 Colorimetric SystemThe absorbance of an alizarin fluorine blue-lanthanum reagent is changed by very small amountsof inorganic fluoride

25、.4.5.2 Potentiometric SystemSince the sample system is the same for this procedure as for the colorimetric procedure, thedistillation step removes all of the interfering cations. The volatile acids that remain can be buffered by mixing with the Total IonicStrength Adjustment Buffer (TISAB).4.5.3 Dis

26、tillation SystemSince HF has a high vapor pressure, it is more efficiently distilled than the other acids previouslymentioned (4.5). The factors controlling efficiency of distillation are temperature, concentration of acid in the distillation coil, andvacuum in the system. Large amounts of solid mat

27、ter, particularly silicates, will also retard distillation. Accordingly, the smallestsample of vegetation consistent with obtaining a suitable amount of fluoride should be analyzed. The aforementioned conditionsmust be carefully controlled, since accurate results depend on obtaining the same degree

28、of efficiency of distillation from samplesas from the standard fluoride solutions used for calibration.4.5.4 Temperature control is maintained within 62C by the thermoregulator and by efficient stirring of the oil bath. Acidconcentration during distillation is regulated by taking plant samples in th

29、e range from 0.1 to 2.0 g and by using 100 6 10 mgof CaO and 3.0 6 0.1 g of NaOH for ashing and fusion of each sample. Vacuum in the system is controlled with flowmeters anda vacuum gage.Any marked change in vacuum (greater than 0.7 kPa or 0.2 in. Hg) over a short time period indicates either a leak

30、or a block in the system. Distillation should take place at the same vacuum each day unless some other change in the system hasbeen made. It is also essential to maintain the proper ratio between air flow on the line drawing liquid and solid wastes from thedistillation coil and on the line drawing H

31、F and water vapor (Fig. 1) from the distillation unit. Occasional adjustments on the twoflow-meters should be made to keep this ratio constant and to maintain higher vacuum on the line drawing HF vapor so that littleor no HF is diverted into the liquid and solid waste line. (See 10.3.4 for descripti

32、on of air flow system.)5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods may be used for determining the fluoride content of particulate matter and gases collected from theatmosphere by passive and active means, including plant tissues. The user is warned that the fluoride content of passive collectors(

33、including plants) give only qualitative or semiquantitative measurement of atmospheric fluoride content.4 The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the references at the end of this method.D3270 1326. Interferences6.1 Since the air that is swept through the microdistillation unit is taken from th

34、e ambient atmosphere, airborne contaminantsin the laboratory may contaminate samples. If this is a problem, a small drying bulb filled with calcium carbonate granules canbe attached to the air inlet tube of the microdistillation unit.6.2 If the polytetrafluoroethylene distillation coil is not cleane

35、d periodically, particulate matter will accumulate and will reducesensitivity.6.3 Silicate, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate ions in high concentration can be distilled with fluoride ion and will interfere with theanalysis by bleaching the alizarin fluorine blue-lanthanum reagent. Phosphate ion is not

36、 distilled, and therefore does not interfere.Metals such as iron and aluminum are not distilled and will not interfere with the analysis (most materials distilled over do notinterfere with the potentiometric method). Maximum concentrations of several common anions at which there was no detectableint

37、erference are given in Table 1. The sulfate concentration shown is the amount tolerated above the normal amount of sulfuricacid used in microdistillation. A number of materials cause changes in absorbance at 624 nm. Potential interfering substancescommonly found in plant tissues are metal cations su

38、ch as iron and aluminum, inorganic anions such as phosphate, chloride, nitrate,and sulfate, and organic anions such as formate and oxalate. Fortunately, metal cations and inorganic phosphate are not distilledin this system, and organic substances are destroyed by preliminary ashing. The remaining vo

39、latile inorganic anions may interfereif present in a sufficiently high concentration because they are distilled as acids. Hydrogen ions bleach the reagent which, inaddition to being an excellent complexing agent, is also an acid-base indicator. To reduce acidic interferences, a relatively highconcen

40、tration of acetate buffer is used in the reagent solution despite some reduction in sensitivity.7.
