1、Designation: D 3986 07Standard Test Method forBarium in Brines, Seawater, and Brackish Water by Direct-Current Argon Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3986; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption

2、 or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of dissolvedand total recoverable

3、 barium in brines, seawater, and brackishwaters by direct-current argon plasma atomic emission spec-troscopy (DCPAES).1.2 This test method has been tested in the range from 10mg/L to 20 mg/L. Samples shall be diluted to contain concen-trations within the calibration range (see 11.1 and 12.5). Higher

4、concentrations can also be determined by changing to a lesssensitive emission line.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and

Summary of Test Method4.1 Th

8、is test method is dependent upon excitation of thebarium atom by a direct-current plasma source. When theexcited barium atom decays to a lower energy state it emitsenergy of a wavelength characteristic to the barium atom. Theintensity of this emitted radiation will increase in directproportion to th

9、e concentration of barium in the sample, whenworking in the linear response range.4.2 Since the variable and often high concentration ofmatrix materials in brines, seawater, and brackish water affectemission differently, it is a difficult task to prepare standardssufficiently similar to the samples.

10、 To overcome this problem,the standards are buffered with lithium ion and the samples arediluted and buffered in the same manner. The standards areused to construct a calibration curve and the concentration ofthe samples are calculated from this curve. Alternatively, theinstrument may be calibrated

11、using a blank and a standard orbracketing standards. The sample concentration can then beread out directly from the instrument.4.3 The 455.4-nm line has been found to be the mostsatisfactory for analysis.NOTE 1The barium lines at 230.4 nm, 233.5 nm, and 553.6 nm havebeen checked and found to be unsa

12、tisfactory for this analysis.4.4 Dissolved barium is determined by filtering the samplethrough a 0.45-m pore size membrane filter (Note 2)atthetime of sampling. This definition of “dissolved” barium isarbitrary since very fine crystals of barium sulfate may passthrough the membrane filter.NOTE 2Thes

13、e filters have been found to be contaminated to variousdegrees with heavy metals depending on the manufacturer. Care should beexercised in selecting a source for these filters. It has been found to be agood practice to wash the filters with nitric acid and then reagent waterbefore filtering a sample

17、barium is determined by an acid digestion step todestroy organic and inorganic particulates.5. Significance and Use5.1 All waters containing acid soluble barium compoundsare known to be toxic. This test method is useful for thedetermination of barium in brines, seawater, and brackishwaters.5.2 Consu

18、mption, inhalation, or absorption of 500 to 600mg of barium is considered fatal to human beings. Lowerlevels may result in disorders of the heart, blood vessels, andnerves. The drinking water standards set the maximum con-taminant level for barium as 2 mg/L barium.6. Interferences6.1 Calcium interfe

The method of standard additions as described in TestMethod D 3352 will also overcome this interference.6.2 High concentrations of sulfate anion are also known tointerfere in this test method by causi
