16、ysis.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for analysis of many naturalwaters that contain thiocyanate from organic decompositionproducts and waste water discharges. Some industrial wastes,such as those from the metallurgical processing of gold ores,steel industry, petroleum refining

17、, and coal gasification, maycontain significant concentrations of thiocyanate. Thiocyanateper se is not recognized as a toxic chemical compound.However, when chlorinated, thiocyanate is converted to thehighly toxic and volatile cyanogen chloride at high pH.Oxidation of thiocyanate may also release t

18、oxic hydrogencyanide. The user of the method is advised to perform holdingtime studies in accordance with Practice D4841 wheneveroxidants are present in the samples.5.1.1 For information on the impact of cyanogens andcyanide compounds, see Appendix X1 of Test Method D2036.6. Interferences6.1 Hexaval

19、ent chromium interference is removed by ad-justing the pH to 2 with concentrated nitric acid and addingferrous sulfate. Raising the pH to 8.5-9 with sodium hydroxideprecipitates Fe (III) and Cr (III) as the hydroxides, which areremoved by filtration.6.2 Reducing agents that reduce Fe (III) to Fe (II

20、), thuspreventing formation of the ferric thiocyanate complex, aredestroyed by a few drops of hydrogen peroxide.6.3 High concentrations of cyanide in proportion to theconcentration of thiocyanate will react with the iron to formcolored complexes.6.4 Colored or interfering organic compounds must bere

22、es.66.5 Oxidation of thiocyanate may also react to formcyanides, resulting in low results. The user of the method isadvised to perform holding time studies in accordance withPractice D4841 whenever oxidants are present in the samples.6.6 Removal of sulfides for cyanide analysis preservationmay resul

Sampling10.1 Collect the sample in accordance with SpecificationD1192 and Practices D3370.10.2 Thiocyanate is stable in both the acid and alkaline pHrange.10.3 If the sample is to be preserved for cyanide, remove thesulfide before stabilization at a high

32、 pH in accordance withPractices D7365 as follows: Treat the sample immediatelyusing any or all of the following techniques as necessary,followed by adjustment of the sample to pH 1213 andrefrigeration.10.3.1 SulfideTest for the presence of sulfide by placing adrop of sample on a lead acetate test st

33、rip that has beenpreviously moistened with acetate buffer. If the test strip turnsblack, sulfide is present (above 50 mg/L S2-) and treatment isnecessary as described in Sections 10.3.1.1 or 10.3.1.2.Ifthetest is negative and there are no further interferences suspected,adjust the pH to 1213, refrig

34、erate, and ship or transport to thelaboratory.10.3.1.1 If the sample contains sulfide as indicated with alead acetate test strip or is known to contain sulfides that willinterfere with the test method, dilute the sample with reagentwater until the lead acetate test strip no longer indicates theprese

35、nce of sulfide (50 mg/L S2-) or until the interference isno longer significant to the analytical test method. Forexample, add 200 mL of freshly collected sample into a bottlecontaining 800 mL of reagent water, then test for sulfide againas indicated in 10.3.1. If the test for sulfide is negative, ad

36、justthe pH to 1213, refrigerate, and ship or transport to thelaboratory. If the test for sulfide is still positive, further dilutionis required; however, be careful not to over dilute the sample asthe detection limit will be elevated by this factor. In theaforementioned example, the dilution factor

37、would be equal to5 (total volume/sample volume). Clearly indicate the dilutionvolumes on the sample and chain-of-custody form so that thelaboratory can mathematically correct the result.10.3.1.2 Alternatively, sulfide can be removed by precipita-tion if free cyanide is the only form of cyanide to be

38、 measured(Test Method D7237). For removal of sulfide by precipitation,if the pH is less than pH 11, raise the pH to 11 with NaOHsolution, and then add approximately 1 mg of powderedcadmium chloride for each ml of sample. Cap and shake thecontainer to mix. Allow the precipitate to settle and test the

39、sample with lead acetate paper for residual sulfide. Ifnecessary, add more cadmium chloride but avoid addingexcess. Finally filter through a 0.45 m filter. Refrigerate, thentransport or ship the filtrate to the laboratory.NOTE 2Some analytical methods prescribe the use of lead carbonateor lead aceta

40、te to precipitate sulfide; however, sulfide and cyanide canform thiocyanate in the presence of lead causing decreased cyaniderecoveries; therefore, lead carbonate and lead acetate should be avoided.Methods that specify the addition of bismuth nitrate to treat sulfide duringtotal cyanide distillation

41、s have been demonstrated by ASTM committeeD19.06 to be ineffective. (WarningCyanide can be converted intothiocyanate in the presence of sulfide at a high pH, causing high results.)10.4 Thiocyanate is biodegradable. Samples that may con-tain bacteria should be preserved at pH 2 by the addition ofmine

42、ral acid and refrigerated.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Resin ColumnMeasure out sufficient resin to fill thecolumn or columns into a beaker and add five times the resinvolume of acetone. Stir for 1 h with gentle agitation.11.2 Pour off the fines and the acetone from the settled resinand add five

43、times the resin volume of hexane. Stir for 1 h.11.3 Pour off any fines that may be present and the hexanefrom the settled resin and add five times the resin volume ofmethanol. Stir for 15 min.11.4 Pour off the methanol from the settled resin and addthree times the resin volume of NaOH solution (4 g/

44、L). Stir for15 min.11.5 Pour off the NaOH solution from the settled resin andadd three times the resin volume of 0.1 M HNO3. Stir for 15min.11.6 Pour off the HNO3solution from the settled resin andadd three times the resin volume of reagent water. Stir for 15min. Decant the water from the settled re

45、sin and use thispurified resin to fill the column.11.7 Attach the tip of the column to a source of reagentwater, and displace the air from the column with water to thebottom of the reservoir (tip of the funnel if a buret is used).11.8 Add the resin slurry to the reservoir (funnel) and allowit to fil

46、l the column by displacing the water to approximately400-mm depth. This procedure will give a uniform columnwith the correct degree of packing.11.9 When the resin has settled allow the water to drain tothe top of the resin bed. At no time should the liquid level bebelow the top of the resin bed.11.1

47、0 Add and drain five 5-mL increments of samplesolution to the column. Fill the reservoir (funnel) with theremaining (125 mL) solution and allow it to pass through thecolumn at a rate of 20 mL/min. Discard the first 50 mL ofeluate.11.11 Collect the next 50 mL of eluate in a clean, dry,graduated cylin

48、der. Use this portion for color development.11.12 Drain any remaining solution to the top of the resinbed. Regenerate the resin by the serial addition of five 5-mLand one 75-mL portions of NaOH solution (4 g/L), five 5-mLand one 25-mLportions of 0.1 M HNO3and five 5-mLand one75-mL portions of water.

49、 If the flow rate has reduced to 4 to 5mL/min, it is advisable to rinse the resin with 100 mL ofmethanol or backwash by introducing water into the bottom ofthe column and allowing it to escape at the top, or use bothD4193 08 (2013)13procedures. The rate of backwashing should be rapid enough toexpand the bed, but not allow loss of the resin.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Prepare a series of thiocyanate standards containing0.0 to 2.0 mg SCN/Lby pipetting 0-(blank) to 40-mLaliquotsof standard thiocyanate solution into 200-mLvolumetric flasks.D
