Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is dependent on the fact that metallicelements, in the ground state, will absorb light of the samewavelen

7、gth they emit when excited. When radiation from agiven excited element is passed through a flame containingground state atoms of that element, the intensity of thetransmitted radiation will decrease in proportion to the amountof the ground state element in the flame. A hollow cathodelamp whose catho

8、de is made of the element to be determinedprovides the radiation. The metal atoms3to be measured areplaced in the beam of radiation by aspirating the specimen intoan oxidant-fuel flame. A monochromator isolates the charac-teristic radiation from the hollow cathode lamp and a photo-sensitive device m

9、easures the attenuated transmitted radiation.4.2 Since the variable and sometimes high concentrations ofmatrix materials in the waters and brines affect absorptiondifferently, it is difficult to prepare standards sufficiently similarto the waters and brines. To overcome this difficulty, themethod of

10、 additions is used in which three identical samplesare prepared and varying amounts of a standard added to twoof them. The three samples are then aspirated, the concentra-tion readings recorded, and the original sample concentrationcalculated.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method4can be used t

29、 size that will contain about0.1 mg of strontium. Fig. 1 shows the relationship betweenstrontium concentration and specific gravity for some oilfieldbrines from the Smackover formation. The concentrations ofstrontium in the Smackover brines will not necessarily corre-late with the concentrations fou

There-fore, the user of this test method may find it necessary to drawa similar curve for brine samples taken from other formations.Add 5 mL of the lanthanum stock solution, dilute to volume,and aspirate.

39、n amounts of strontium in a series of preparedstandards are given in Table 2.NOTE 1The above precision and bias estimates are based on aninterlaboratory study on four artificial brine samples containing variousamounts of strontium and interfering ions as shown in Table 1. Oneanalyst in each of three

40、 laboratories and two analysts in each of sixlaboratories performed duplicate determinations on each of two days.Practice D 2777 was used in developing these precision and bias esti-mates.12.3 Precision and bias for this test method conforms toPractice D 277777, which was in place at the time ofcoll

41、aborative testing. Under the allowances made in 1.4 ofD 277706, these precision and bias data do meet existingrequirements for interlaboratory studies of Committee D19 testmethods.13. Quality Control13.1 In order to be certain that analytical values obtainedusing these test methods are valid and acc

42、urate within theconfidence limits of the test, the following QC procedures mustbe followed when analyzing strontium.13.2 Calibration and Calibration Verification13.2.1 Analyze at least three working standards containingconcentrations of strontium that bracket the expected sampleconcentration, prior

43、to analysis of samples, to calibrate theinstrument.13.2.2 Verify instrument calibration after standardization byanalyzing a standard at the concentration of one of thecalibration standards. The absorbance shall fall within4%ofthe absorbance from the calibration. Alternately, the concen-tration of a

44、mid-range standard should fall within 615 % of theknown concentration.13.2.3 If calibration cannot be verified, recalibrate theinstrument.13.3 Initial Demonstration of Laboratory Capability13.3.1 If a laboratory has not performed the test before, or ifthere has been a major change in the measurement

45、 system, forexample, new analyst, new instrument, etc., a precision andbias study must be performed to demonstrate laboratorycapability.13.3.2 Analyze seven replicates of a standard solutionprepared from an Independent Reference Material containing amidrange concentration of strontium. The matrix an

46、d chemis-try of the solution should be equivalent to the solution used inthe collaborative study. Each replicate must be taken throughthe complete analytical test method including any samplepreservation and pretreatment steps. The replicates may beinterspersed with samples.13.3.3 Calculate the mean

47、and standard deviation of theseven values and compare to the acceptable ranges of bias in12.1. This study should be repeated until the recoveries arewithin the limits given in 12.1. If a concentration other than therecommended concentration is used, refer to Practice D5847for information on applying

48、 the F test and t test in evaluatingthe acceptability of the mean and standard deviation.13.4 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)13.4.1 To ensure that the test method is in control, analyzea LCS containing a mid-range concentration of strontium witheach batch or ten samples. If large numbers of samples

49、areanalyzed in the batch, analyze the LCS after every ten samples.The LCS must be taken through all of the steps of the analyticalmethod including sample preservation and pretreatment. Theresult obtained for the LCS shall fall within 615 % of theknown concentration.13.4.2 If the result is not within these limits, analysis ofsamples is halted until the problem is corrected, and either allthe samples in the batch must be reanalyzed, or the results mustbe qualified with an indication that they do not fall within theperformance criteria of the test method.13.5 Me
