Sampling6.1 Collect the samples in accordance with PracticesD 3370 and Practice D 1066, as applicable.6.2 Preserve samples with HNO3(sp gr 1.42) to a pH of 2 orless immediately at the ti

If only dissolved cobalt is to be determined, filter thesample through a 0.45-m membrane filter before acidification.The holding time for samples may be calculated in accordancewith Practice D 4841.TEST METHOD AATOMIC ABSORPTION, DIRECT7. Scope7.1 This test me

19、thod covers the determination of dissolvedand total recoverable cobalt in most waters and waste waters.It is the users responsibility to ensure the validity of this testmethod in a particular matrix.7.2 This test method is applicable in the range from 0.1 to10 mg/L of cobalt. The range may be extend

20、ed to concentra-tions greater than 10 mg/L by dilution of the sample.8. Summary of Test Method8.1 Cobalt is determined by atomic absorption spectropho-tometry. Dissolved cobalt is determined by aspirating a portionof the filtered sample directly with no pretreatment. Totalrecoverable cobalt is deter

21、mined by aspirating the samplefollowing hydrochloric-nitric acid digestion and filtration. Thesame digestion procedure may be used to determine totalrecoverable nickel (Test Methods D 1886), chromium (TestMethods D 1687), cadmium (Test Methods D 3557), copper(Test Methods D 1688), iron (Test Methods

22、 D 1068), lead (TestMethods D 3559), manganese (Test Methods D 858), zinc(Test Methods D 1691).9. Interferences9.1 Nitrate reportedly interferes at 1 mg/L by suppressingthe absorption of the cobalt. This interference can be elimi-nated by adding 18 000 mg/L of ammonium chloride toblanks, standards,

23、and samples.9.2 Other metals usually do not interfere in the determina-tion of cobalt by increasing or decreasing the amount ofabsorbed radiation. The most common interference is causedby a chemical reaction in the flame that prevents conversion ofthe cobalt to the atomic state.9.3 Sodium, potassium

24、, and sulfate, magnesium (4500 mg/L), iron (4000 mg/L), and nickel, lead, copper, zinc, cadmium,and chromium (10 mg/L each) do not interfere.9.4 Background correction or a chelation-extraction proce-dure (see Test Method B) may be necessary to determine lowlevels of cobalt in some water.NOTE 1Instru
