United States1NOTE 1The volatility of mercury3, 4compounds, especially thechlorides, makes it necessary to use considerable care in dig

15、esting samplescontaining these elements. The samples must not be boiled unlessprovision is made to prevent loss by volatilization.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for the determination ofelement concentrations in many natural waters. It has thecapability for the simultaneous det

16、ermination of up to 15separate elements. High analysis sensitivity can be achievedfor some elements, such as boron and vanadium.6. Interferences6.1 For commonly occurring matrix elements the followingspectral interferences have been observed:6.1.1 Calcium, magnesium, and boron interfere with lead at

17、405.78 nm.6.1.2 Calcium interferes with chromium at 425.43 nm.6.1.3 Magnesium interferes with cadmium at 214.44 nm.6.1.4 Iron interferes with cobalt at 345.35 and 240.73 nm.6.1.5 Cobalt interferes with nickel at 341.48 nm.NOTE 2The exact magnitude of these interferences has not beendetermined since

18、it depends on the concentration of the calibrationstandards used and the sample matrix.6.2 Some additional possible interferences are listed inAnnexA2 (TableA2.1) so that the analyst may be aware of andtest for them.7.

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatreagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committeeon Analytical Reagents o

Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficient purity to permit its use without lessening the accu-racy of the determination.8.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referenceto

21、 water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Type I of Specification D1193. Other reagent water typesmay be used, provided it is first ascertained that the water is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening thebias and precision of the determination.

Typicallythe filter p

The user must first ascertainthat the filter paper is of sufficient purity to use withoutadversely affecting the bias and precision of the test method.8.4NOTE 3De

24、pending on the manufacturer, these filters have been foundto be contaminated to various degrees with heavy metals. Care should beexercised in selecting a source of these filters. A good practice is to washthe filters with nitric acid and reagent water before filtering a sample.8.5 High Purity Hydroc

Alternatively,matrix matching or the method of additions can be used.9.2 Organic solvents, such as alcohol, acetone, and methylethy

33、l ketone have been observed to enhance emission intensity.This enhancement effect must be compensated for whenorganic solvents are known to be present. Alternatively, matrixmatching or the method of additions can be used.10. Sampling10.1 Collect the samples in accordance with the applicablestandards

34、, Practice D1066 or Practices D3370.10.2 Preserve the samples by immediately adding highpurity nitric acid to adjust the pH to two at the time ofcollection. Normally 2 mL of HNO3is required per liter ofsample. If only dissolved elements are to be determined, (Note5) filter the sample through a 0.45

35、m membrane filter beforeacidification. The holding time for the sample may be calcu-lated in accordance with Practice D4841.NOTE 5Alternatively, the pH may be adjusted in the laboratory if thesample is returned within 14 days. However, acid must be added at least24 hours before analysis to dissolve

36、any metals that adsorb to the containerwalls. This could reduce hazards of working with acids in the field whenappropriate.11. Calibration and Standardization11.1 Prepare 100 mL of a blank and at least four standardsolutions to bracket the expected concentration range of thesamples to be analyzed by

37、 diluting 5.0 mL of lithium solution(see 8.8) and an appropriate volume of stock solution withHNO3(1 + 499). Prepare the blank and standards each time thetest is to be run or as determined by Practice D4841.11.2 Analyze at least four working standards containingconcentrations of each element that br

38、acket the expectedsample concentration, prior to analysis of samples, to calibratethe instrument.Atomize the blank and standards and record theemission intensity or concentration. Atomize HNO3(1 + 499)between each standard.11.3 Using the instrument software verify that the instru-ment calibration is

39、 within user acceptable QC limits.12. Procedure12.1 To determine dissolved elements, add 5.0 mL oflithium solution (see 8.8) to a 100.0 mL volumetric flask andbring to volume with the well-mixed acidified sample. Proceedwith 12.6.12.2 When determining total recoverable elements in solu-tions contain

40、ing suspended matter or large particles (that is,noncolloidal), add 5.0 mL of HNO3(sp. gr. 1.42) (8.9) and 5.0mL of lithium solution (8.8) to a 100.0-mL sample.NOTE 6When digestion is necessary, subject the standards, sample,and blank to the same procedure.12.3 Add 5.0 mL of HCl (sp. gr. 1.19) (8.5)

41、 to each sample.12.4 Heat the samples in a covered beaker on a steam bathor hot plate until the volume has been reduced to 15 or 20 mL.Take care to see that the samples do not boil. Loss of samplecould result from bumping or spattering.NOTE 7For samples with high levels of dissolved solids, the amou

42、ntof reduction in volume is left to the discretion of the analyst.NOTE 8Many laboratories have found block digestion systems auseful way to digest samples for trace metals analysis. Systems typicallyconsist of either a metal or graphite block with wells to hold digestiontubes. The block temperature

43、controller must be able to maintain unifor-mity of temperature across all positions of the block. For trace metalsanalysis, the digestion tubes should be constructed of polypropylene andhave a volume accuracy of at least 0.5 %. All lots of tubes should comewith a certificate of analysis to demonstra

44、te suitability for their intendedpurpose.12.5 Cool and filter (8.4) the samples, if necessary, througha fine ashless filter paper into 100.0 mL volumetric flasks.Wash the filter paper three times with water and adjust tovolume.12.6 Atomize each solution and record its emission intensityor concentrat

45、ion. Atomize HNO3(1 + 499) (8.11) betweensamples.13. Calculation13.1 Calculate the concentration of elements in eachsample, in g/L, using the calibrations established in 11.3.Modern DCP instruments will provide the results in thecalibrated concentration units.13.2 Multiply the results for dissolved

46、elements by thedilution factor of 1.05 to correct for the required addition oflithium solution (12.1).NOTE 9The correction does not need to be applied to samplesanalyzed using the total recoverable process because those samples areadjusted to volume. If the block digestion systems reflux the samples

47、without any loss of volume the dilution factor will need to be applied.14. Precision and Bias614.1 To facilitate handling and distribution for round robintesting, three concentrated solutions were prepared. These wereacidified solutions of 15 elements.14.2 The concentrated solutions, when diluted ac

48、cording todirections, yielded solutions for analysis with the compositionas shown in Table 2. A total of eight laboratories and thirteenoperators participated in this study.14.2.1 Type II water was specified at the time of round robintesting of this test method.14.3 PrecisionThe precision of this te

49、st method for theelements tested within their respective ranges of concentrationgiven in Table 2 may be expressed as given in Table 3.14.4 BiasSee Table 4.14.5 This section on precision and bias conforms to PracticeD2777 77 which was in place at the time of collaborativetesting. Under the allowances made in 1.4 of PracticeD2777 13, these precision and bias data do meet existingrequirements of interlaboratory studies of Committee D19 testmethods.6Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by req
