Samples shall be diluted to contain concen-trations within the calibration range (see 11.1 and 12.5). Higherco

7、 Analysis3. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod refer to Terminology D1129.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 total recoverable barium, nrecoverable bariumforms that are determinable by the digestion method that isincluded in the procedure

8、.3.2.2 laboratory control sample, na solution with a cer-tified concentration of barium.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This 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 wavel

9、ength characteristic to the barium atom. Theintensity of this emitted radiation will increase in directproportion to the 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 bra

10、ckish water affectemission differently, it is a difficult task to prepare standardssufficiently similar to the samples. 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 cu

11、rve and the concentration ofthe samples are calculated from this curve. Alternatively, theinstrument may be calibrated 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 mostsat

12、isfactory for analysis.NOTE 1The barium lines at 230.4 nm, 233.5 nm, and 553.6 nm havebeen checked and found to be unsatisfactory 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 “

13、dissolved” barium isarbitrary since very fine crystals of barium sulfate may passthrough the membrane filter.NOTE 2These 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 h

18、s.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 Consumption, inhalation, or absorption of 500 to 600mg of barium is considered fatal to human b

19、eings. 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 interferes in concentrations greater than 300mg/L, however, this can be overcome by dilution of t

20、hesample. The method of standard additions as described in TestMethod D3352 will also overcome this interference.6.2 High concentrations of sulfate anion are also known tointerfere in this test method by causing precipitation of bariumin the form of barium sulfate.7.

Other reagent water typesmay be used provided it is first ascertained that the water is ofsufficiently high purity to permit i

Apurchased stock solution of adequate purity is also acceptable.8.4 Barium Solution, Standard (50 mg/L)To 5.0 mL ofbarium stock solution add 5.0 mL of lithium solution (8.8) anddilute to 100 mL with HCl (1 + 499) (8.10).

29、 (spgr 1.42) to 499 volumes of water.9. Hazards9.1 As with any method where pumping or aspiration ofsamples is employed, the viscosity of blank, standards, andsamples must be controlled within reasonable limits (that is, donot use reagent water standards to analyze oil field brines).9.2 To analyze w

30、aters containing a high percentage ofdissolved solids it is necessary to prepare standards and blankswith matrices similar to the unknown samples. In many casesthis is almost impossible and the problem can be solved byhigh dilution and introduction of lithium ion as an emissionenhancement buffer.10.

31、 Sampling10.1 Collect the sample in accordance with Practice D3370.10.2 Preserve the samples with high-purity hydrochloricacid to a pH of two or less immediately at the time of collection(about 2 mL/L). If only dissolved barium is to be determined,filter the samples through a 0.45-m membrane (Note 2

32、) filterbefore acidification.11.

Wash the filter paper atleast three times with water and adjust to 100 mL volume.12.5 Approximate Barium ConcentrationAspirate thesample and compare its emission intensity to that of the bariumsolution standard (50

40、 mg/L, 8.4). It should be stressed that thisis not an accurate result and is to be used only to calculate thequantity of sample needed for dilution in 12.6.12.6 Transfer an aliquot of the sample containing approxi-mately 0.001 to 0.01 mg of barium to a 100-mL volumetricflask. Add 5 mL of lithium sol

44、, which was in place at the time of collab-orative testing. Under the allowances made in 1.4 of D2777-08,these precision and bias data do meet existing requirements forinterlaboratory studies of Committee D19 test methods.14.

47、dard shall fall between80 % and 120 % of the true value.14.4 Two method blanks shall be prepared ensuring that anadequate method blank volume is present for a minimum ofseven repetitive analyses. The standard deviation of the methodblank is used to determine the minimum detectable concentra-tion of
