Referto suppliers Material Safety Data Sheet.7.2 The National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth has stated that hexavalent

23、chromium compounds arehazardous to health. Care should be exercised in preparation ofa sample for test. The wearing of a respirator and rubber orsynthetic gloves is recommended. In case of contact, washthoroughly with soap and water. Mixtures containing hexava-lent chromium compounds should not be f

24、lushed down a drainbut disposed of as hazardous waste.7.3 Use only a rubber bulb aspirator for pipetting liquids.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Prepare 50-mL quantities of at least four standardsolutions bracketing the expected chromium concentration inthe sample to be tested. To suitable ali

25、quots of the 100-ppmchromium standard working solution, add 10 mL of theoxidizing solution with a pipet, followed by the dropwiseaddition of reducing solution until the permanganate color hasbeen discharged, then dilute to 50 mL with water.8.2 Operational instructions for atomic absorption spectro-p

26、hotometers vary with different models. Consult the manufac-turers literature for establishing optimum conditions for thespecific instrument used.8.3 Turn the instrument on and set the wavelength to the357.9-nm chromium line. Apply the recommended current tothe chromium hollow-cathode lamp. Allow the

27、 instrument towarm up for about 15 min and set the slit width. Adjust thenitrous oxide and acetylene pressures and ignite the burneraccording to instructions.8.4 Aspirate water to rinse the atomizer chamber. Aspirate astandard solution and make any necessary readjustment ininstrument parameters to o

28、btain maximum absorption. Zero theinstrument while aspirating reagent blank solution (6.7). Aspi-rate each of the appropriate standard solutions and record thecorresponding instrument readings. Aspirate water betweeneach standard.8.5 Transfer a 25-mL aliquot from each of the standardsolutions prepar

29、ed in 8.1 to 50-mL volumetric flasks and diluteto volume with water. Repeat the steps outlined in 8.4 for thediluted aliquot solutions.8.6 Construct a calibration curve on linear graph paper byplotting the absorbance versus concentration (micrograms permillilitre) for each set of standard solutions.

30、NOTE 1To obtain maximum accuracy one should complete calibra-tion and standardization just prior to sample analysis.9. Procedure9.1 If the sample is a liquid coating, mix it until homoge-neous, preferably on a mechanical paint shaker. Determine thenonvolatile content in accordance with Guide D 2832.

31、9.2 Determine the ash content of the material under test induplicate.9.2.1 Weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg approximately5gofliquid coating or3gofdried film into each of two taredporcelain crucibles.NOTE 2Recover dried paint films from previously coated substrates(being careful not to remove any underlyi

32、ng material from the substrate)or prepare in the laboratory from liquid samples. For the laboratorypreparation, flow some of the well-mixed sample onto a clean glass plate.The use of a paint draw-down bar is recommended to obtain a uniformfilm thickness not exceeding 2 mils (50 m). Allow the film to

33、 dry in anoven at 105C for a minimum of 1 h. Scrape the dried film off the glassplate, preferably with a single-edge razor blade.9.2.2 Place the crucibles containing the liquid coating on thehot plate and slowly increase the temperature until the materialis dried. With some types of coatings, an ini

34、tial oven-drying at105C may be necessary to remove solvents without incurringlosses due to spattering.9.2.3 When the specimen appears to be dry, or when startingwith a dried film, gradually increase the temperature of the hotplate until the material chars.9.2.4 After charring is complete, place the

35、crucibles in themuffle furnace and ash at 500C.5Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications , AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

(USPC), Rockville,MD.D 3718 85a (2005)29.2.5 When the ashing appears to be complete (approxi-mately 1 to 2 h), remove the crucibles from the muffle furnaceand allow to cool to room temperatu

37、re in a desiccator. Weighand calculate the mean value for the percent ash.9.3 Transfer each ash to a clean, dry mortar and grind to afine, uniform powder. Weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg, 0.02 to 0.2g of each ash directly into separate decomposition vesselinserts.NOTE 3For a material containing 50 ppm (

38、mg/kg) of chromium basedon the solids and having 50 % ash and 70 % nonvolatile material, 0.2 g ofash extracted and diluted to 50 mL will contain 0.28 g of chromium permillilitre, and for one containing 10 000 ppm, 0.02 g of ash extracted anddiluted to 100 mLwill contain 2.8 g of chromium per millili

39、tre. To ensurecomplete recovery of chromium, do not use more than 0.05 g of ash formaterials that are known or suspected to contain over 1000 ppm ofchromium based on the solids.9.4 Pipet exactly 10 mL of oxidizing solution into the cup.Swirl gently to facilitate mixing. Place the vessel in a circu-l

40、ating oven at 105C for 112 h.9.5 Remove the vessel from the oven and allow to coolslowly to ambient temperature. Do not cool by placing thevessel in a refrigerator or freezer, or by submerging it in acooling liquid. When cooled, carefully unseal the vessel in afume hood.NOTE 4When the vessel is disa

41、ssembled, if the solution does notshow the presence of excess permanganate, repeat the digestion using asmaller weight of ash.9.6 Quantitatively filter the contents through filter paperdirectly into a 50 or 100-mL volumetric flask. Rinse thedigestion cup several times with water, transferring any in

42、-soluble material to the filter paper. Wash the filter paper severaltimes with small volumes of water. Add hydroxylamine hydro-chloride solution dropwise to the filtrate until the permanganatecolor has been discharged, then dilute to volume with water.9.7 Aspirate each test solution and determine th

43、e absor-bance in the same manner in which the instrument wascalibrated. Determine the concentration of chromium in micro-grams per millilitre from the appropriate calibration curve. Ifthe absorbance is above the range covered by the calibrationcurve, dilute an aliquot of the test solutions to a suit

44、ablevolume with H2SO4(5 % volume per volume) and repeat thedeterminations.NOTE 5The method of standard additions may be used to improve theaccuracy of the analysis. This test method is particularly recommended foruse with unknown samples where matrix effects may be potentiallysignificant. For a deta

45、iled description of the procedure and calculationsused in the method of standard additions, consult a standard text on atomicabsorption spectroscopy or the instruction manual provided by theinstrument manufacturer.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the mean concentration of chromium in thenonvolatile por

46、tion of the sample as follows:Chromium, ppm mg/kg! in nonvolatile 5 C 3 F 3 A 3 V!/S 3 NV!(1)where:C = concentration of chromium in the aspirated testsolution, g/mL,F = dilution factor from 9.7 (volume diluted to volume ofaliquot),A = mean percent ash as determined in 9.2.5,V = volume diluted to in

47、9.6 (50 or 100 mL),S = weight of ash, andNV = percent nonvolatile of paint sample (use 100 ifsample was a dried film).11. Report11.1 Report the chromium content of the nonvolatile portionof the sample tested and whether the analysis was conducted ona liquid coating or a dried film.12. Precision and

48、Bias612.1 The precision estimates are based on an interlaboratorystudy in which six different laboratories analyzed in duplicate,on two different days, four samples of water-reducible paintsand four samples of solvent-reducible paints containing from50 to 10 000 ppm (mg/kg) chromium. The within-labo

49、ratorycoefficient of variation was found to be 4.9 % relative at 39degrees of freedom and the between-laboratory coefficient ofvariation was 8.5 % relative at 31 degrees of freedom. Basedon these coefficients, the following criteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results at the 95 % confidencelevel:12.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate determinations, obtained by the same operator on differentdays should be considered suspect if they differ by more than14 % relative.12.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the m
