A sampleis placed in a graphite tube, evaporated to dryness, charred, and atomized. Since the graphite furnace uses the samp

16、the test.44.2 Total silica is determined using a freshly ultrasonically treated and shaken aliquot of sample.4.3 This test method determines low-level total silica in high purity water. Refer to Test Method D859, Test Method B, fordetermination of molybdate-reactive silica.5. Significance and Use5.1

17、 Control of silica in boiler feedwater and boiler water is necessary to minimize the formation of scale-forming silicates thatdecrease heat transfer in the boiler. Volatilization and carryover of silica with the steam may cause hard, glassy siliceous depositsto form on turbine blades that reduce tur

18、bine efficiency.5.2 Colloidal silica that is not removed by boiler water pretreatment processes may be solubilized in the boiler and thuscontribute to the dissolved silica concentration in the boiler. Both dissolved and total silica are of interest.6. Interferences6.1 For a complete discussion of ge

19、neral interferences with furnace procedures, the analyst is referred to Practice D3919.6.2 Relatively pure waters such as demineralizer effluent, condensate, or high-pressure boiler feedwater are of sufficient purityto minimize potential interferences such as sodium, orthophosphate, or sulfate.6.3 G

20、raphite tube pretreatment with the calcium/lanthanum reagent has been found to improve the silica response with somegraphite tube materials or designs. Since response problems may include memory effects as well as poor sensitivity, the followingprocedure must be used to determine whether pretreatmen

21、t is needed.6.3.1 Following instrument set-up and blank determination as described in 10.1 10.3, inject 10 to 12 replicates of a standardcontaining 100 to 150 g/L of SiO2. Treat the tube in accordance with 6.4, and repeat. Note whether the response of the two setsis constant, indicating no memory ef

22、fect, or whether the first set shows increasing response. Note also whether the response of thesecond set is greater than that of the first. If either sensitivity of repeatability is improved, tube pretreatment is recommended.6.4 Pretreatment may be accomplished as follows:6.4.1 Inject into the furn

23、ace the diluted calcium/lanthanum reagent using the maximum aliquot recommended by themanufacturer of the tube, and start the atomization program. Repeat three times, or more if necessary. Run blank atomization cyclesuntil the furnace blank is constant.6.4.2 Proceed to calibrate the furnace and anal

24、yze samples in accordance with Sections 10 and 11. The absorbance enhancementmay deteriorate after numerous injections, in which case retreatment will be required. Refer to Practice D3919.7. Apparatus7.1 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer , Spectrophotometer, for use at 251.6 nm.NOTE 1A wavelength

25、other than 251.6 nm may be used if it has been determined to be equally suitable.NOTE 2The manufacturers instructions should be followed for all instrument parameters.7.2 Silicon Light Source, silicon hollow cathode lamp.7.3 Graphite Furnace, capable of reaching temperatures sufficient to atomize th

26、e element of interest. Atomization temperaturemust be reached as rapidly as possible for maximum sensitivity.NOTE 3Special furnace accessories are commercially available to provide a means of accelerating atomization temperature.7.4 Graphite Tubes, compatible with furnace device. Standard graphite t

27、ubes are preferred, particularly when tube pretreatmentis practiced. Pyrolytic graphite tubes may be used if it has been determined by the analyst that the precision, bias, and sensitivityof the determination are not compromised.7.5 Pipets:7.5.1 Microlitre, with disposable, polypropylene tips. Sizes

28、 may range from 1 to 1000 L, as required.7.5.2 Millilitre, 50.0 mL.7.6 Data SystemFast transient signal data are collected and processed using an internal microprocessor or external desktopcomputer systems. Data can be stored on disks, transmitted to central servers, or printed in hard copy. Data ma

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that allreagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuc

32、h specifications are available.5 Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently highpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination.8.2 Purity of WaterAll references to reagent water in this method shall be understood to co

33、nform to Specification D1193, forreagent water Type II. In addition, the reagent water shall be made silica-free and determined as such in accordance with thismethod. The collecting apparatus and storage containers for the reagent water must be made of suitable materials that will notcontaminate the

34、 reagent water with silica (see Section 9).NOTE 4Silica-free water may be prepared by distillation, demineralization, and passage through a 0.22 m filter. Total removal of colloidal silica maybe done by treating the above water with hydrofluoric acid, letting it stand for 24 h, and then processing i

Carefully add 5.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid (HNO3 sp gr 1.42) and swirl to dissolve. Add 0.100 g o

36、fcalcium oxide (CaO) and swirl to dissolve. Dilute to volume with water. This solution contains 100 mg/L CaO and 2500 mg/L La.Dilute 1:100 for injection. The diluted reagent is needed only for pretreatment of the graphite tube as described in 6.4.8.4 Silica Stock Solution (1 mL = 1 mL = 1 mg SiO2)Di

Sampling9.1 Collect the sample in accordance with the applicable ASTM standards: Practice

39、D1066, SpecificationGuide D1192, andPractices D3370. , and Practice D4453.9.2 Since silica is such a ubiquitous material, meticulous sample collection, handling, and injection into the furnace arenecessary to avoid contamination.9.2.1 Collect samples only in plastic or TFE-fluorocarbon containers. P

40、olystyrene, polypropylene, linear polyethylene, andTFE-fluorocarbon have been found to be generally suitable, but tests should be conducted on sample containers before use todetermine their suitability.9.2.2 Sample containers must be ultrasonically cleaned before use. Fill the sample containers with

41、 water and immerse in anoperating ultrasonic cleaner for at least 1 min. Remove, shake vigorously, and drain. Additional cycles of cleaning may be foundnecessary.9.2.3 Before actual sample collection, rinse sample container with the sample it is to contain three times with vigorous shaking,then fill

44、drying, charring, atomizing) according to the manufacturers instructions.NOTE 6While sample size and furnace programming vary among instruments, the following analytical conditions have generally been found to besuitable. It is up to the analyst to optimize analytical conditions for the instrument u
