16、d-digestion procedurespecified in this test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is dependent upon excitation of the barium atom by a direct-current plasma source. When the excitedbarium atom decays to a lower energy state it emits energy of a wavelength characteristic to the barium

17、atom. The intensity of thisemitted radiation will increase in direct proportion to the concentration of barium in the sample, when working in the linearresponse range.4.2 Since the variable and often high concentration of matrix materials in brines, seawater, and brackish water affect emissiondiffer

18、ently, it is a difficult task to prepare standards sufficiently similar to the samples. To overcome this problem, the standardsare buffered with lithium ion and the samples are diluted and buffered in the same manner. The standards are used to construct acalibration curve and the concentration of th

19、e samples are calculated from this curve. Alternatively, the instrument may becalibrated using a blank and a standard or bracketing standards. The sample concentration can then be read out directly from theinstrument.4.3 The 455.4-nm line has been found to be the most satisfactory for analysis.NOTE

20、1The barium lines at 230.4 nm, 233.5 nm, and 553.6 nm have been checked and found to be unsatisfactory for this analysis.4.4 Dissolved barium is determined by filtering the sample through a 0.45-m pore size membrane filter (Note 2) at the timeof sampling. This definition of “dissolved” barium is arb

21、itrary since very fine crystals of barium sulfate may pass through themembrane filter.NOTE 2These filters have been found to be contaminated to various degrees with heavy metals depending on the manufacturer. Care should beexercised in selecting a source for these filters. It has been found to be a

22、good practice to wash the filters with nitric acid and then reagent water beforefiltering a sample.4.5 If there are no visible suspended solids in the sample, total recoverable barium may be determined on an acidified unfilteredsample in the same manner as dissolved barium.4.6 When the sample contai

23、ns suspended solids total recoverable barium is determined by an acid digestion step to destroyorganic and inorganic particulates.5. Significance and Use5.1 All waters containing acid soluble barium compounds are known to be toxic.This test method is useful for the determinationof barium in brines,

24、seawater, and brackish waters.5.2 Consumption, inhalation, or absorption of 500 to 600 mg of barium is considered fatal to human beings. Lower levels mayresult in disorders of the heart, blood vessels, and nerves. The drinking water standards set the maximum contaminant level forbarium as 2 mg/L bar

25、ium.6. Interferences6.1 Calcium interferes in concentrations greater than 300 mg/L, however, this can be overcome by dilution of the sample. Themethod of standard additions as described in Test Method D3352 will also overcome this interference.6.2 High concentrations of sulfate anion are also known

26、to interfere in this test method by causing precipitation of barium inthe form of barium sulfate.7. Apparatus7.1 See the manufacturers instruction manual on installation and operation of direct-current argon plasma spectrometers. Referto Guide E1097 for information on DCP spectrometers.8.

Type II water wasspecified at the time of round robin testing of this test method.8.3 Barium Solution, Stock (1g/L Ba)Dissolve 1.7787 g of barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl22H2O) in 100 mL of water, add2 mL of nitric acid (sp gr 1.42) and dilute to 1 L. A purchased stock solution

32、of adequate appropriate known purity is alsoacceptable.8.4 Barium Solution, Standard (50 mg/L)To 5.0 mL of barium stock solution add 5.0 mL of lithium solution (8.8) and diluteto 100 mL with HCl (1 + 499) (8.10). Working standards (11.1) are prepared from this solution.8.5 Hydrochloric Acid (sp gr 1

33、.19)Concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl).NOTE 3If a high reagent blank is obtained for either acid, distill the acid or use spectrograde acid.8.5.1 CautionWhen HCl is distilled, an azeotropic mixture is obtained (approximately 6 N HCl).8.6 Hydrochloric Acid (1 + 499)Add 1 volume of hydrochloric acid

Approximately 250 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.19) is needed to comple

36、f water.8.11 Filter PaperPurchase suitable filter paper. Typically the filter papers have a pore size of 0.45-m membrane. Materialsuch as fine-textured, acid-washed, ashless paper, or glass fiber paper are acceptable. The user must first ascertain that the filterpaper is of sufficient purity to use

37、without adversely affecting the bias and precision of the test method.9. Hazards9.1 As with any method where pumping or aspiration of samples is employed, the viscosity of blank, standards, and samplesmust be controlled within reasonable limits (that is, do not use reagent water standards to analyze

38、 oil field brines).9.2 To analyze waters containing a high percentage of dissolved solids it is necessary to prepare standards and blanks withmatrices similar to the unknown samples. In many cases this is almost impossible and the problem can be solved by high dilutionand introduction of lithium ion

39、 as an emission enhancement buffer.10. Sampling10.1 Collect the sample in accordance with PracticePractices D3370.10.2 Preserve the samples with high-purity hydrochloric acid to a pH of two or less immediately at the time of collection (about2 mL/L). If only dissolved barium is to be determined, fil

40、ter the samples through a 0.45-m membrane (Note 2) filter beforeacidification.NOTE 4Alternatively, the pH may be adjusted in the laboratory within 14 days of collection. However, acid must be added at least 24 hours beforeanalysis to dissolve any metals that adsorb to the container walls. This could

41、 reduce hazards of working with acids in the field when appropriate.11. Standardization and Calculation11.1 Prepare 100 mL each of a blank and 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 mg/L standards by diluting 5 mL of lithium solution (8.8)and 20, 40, 100, and 200 L of barium standard solution (8.4) with HCl (1

42、+ 499). Prepare standards and blank each time the testis performed.performed, or as determined by Practice D4841.11.2 Aspirate the blank and standards. Aspirate HNO3 (1 + 499) between each standard and sample.11.3 Using the instrument software, verify that the instrument calibration is within user a

43、cceptable QC limits and report thebarium concentrations accordingly.12. Procedure12.1 When determining dissolved barium the sample should be previously filtered through a 0.45-m membrane filter (8.11) andacidified (10.2) then proceed with 12.5.12.2 When determining total recoverable barium and preci

44、pitation has occurred or large amounts of suspended solids arepresent, add 5 mL each of nitric acid (sp gr 1.42) and HCl (sp gr 1.19) to 100 mL of the sample and proceed with 12.3 and 12.4.4 The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this time is LI 30 or its equivalent fro

Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meetingof the responsible technical committee,1 which you may attend.D3986 17312.3

46、 Heat the samples (between 65C and 95C) on a steam bath or hot plate below boiling until the volume is reduced to 15to 20 mL, making certain that the samples do not boil.NOTE 5When analyzing samples of brines or samples containing large amounts (5 %) of dissolved solids. The amount of reduction in v

47、olume isleft to the discretion of the analyst.NOTE 6Many laboratories have found block digestion systems a useful way to digest samples for trace metals analysis. Systems typically consist ofeither a metal or graphite block with wells to hold digestion tubes. The block temperature controller must be

48、 able to maintain uniformity of temperatureacross all positions of the block. The digestion block must be capable of maintaining a temperature between 65C and 95C. For trace metals analysis,the digestion tubes should be constructed of polypropylene and have a volume accuracy of at least 0.5%. All lo

49、ts of tubes should come with a certificateof analysis to demonstrate suitability for their intended purpose.12.4 Cool and filter the samples through fine ashless filter paper (8.11) into 100-mL volumetric flasks. Wash the filter paper atleast three times with water and adjust to 100 mL volume.12.5 Approximate Barium ConcentrationAspirate the sample and compare its emission intensity to that of the barium solutionstandard (50 mg/L, 8.4). It should be stressed that this is not an accurate result and is to be used only to calculate the quantity
