1、Designation: D 4698 92 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Practice forTotal Digestion of Sediment Samples for Chemical Analysisof Various Metals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4698; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers two procedures for the total diges-tion of sediments for subsequent det

3、ermination of metals bysuch techniques as flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry,graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry, atomicemission spectroscopy, etc.1.2 This practice is applicable in the subsequent determina-tion of volatile, semivolatile, and nonvolatile metals of sedi-ments.

4、1.3 Actual metal quantitation can be accomplished by fol-lowing the various test methods outlined under other appropri-ate ASTM standards for the metal(s) of interest. Beforeselecting either of the digestion techniques outlined in thispractice, the user should consult the appropriate quantitationsta

5、ndard(s) for any special analytical considerations, and Prac-tice D 3976 for any special preparatory considerations.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate

6、 safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specifichazard statement, see Note 7.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.2. Referenced Document

In suchcases, recovery is operationally defined by the digestionprocedure.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Many procedures are available for the total digestion ofsedim

10、ents prior to metal analysis, but almost all the methodsfall into one of two main classes: fusion and subsequentdissolution of the bead, and wet digestion which directlydissolves the sample with mineral acids. Each of the classeshas advantages and disadvantages, as do the individual proce-dures whic

11、h fall under them. The two procedures outlined inthis practice were selected because they are the least restricted,in terms of utility, for dealing with a wide variety of matrices.Before choosing a particular method, the user should consultthe pertinent literature to determine the utility and applic

12、abilityof either method, prior to final selection; or if a less rigorousdigestion could be employed.4,5,6,7Even then, experience witha particular sample type or digestion test method, or both, mayhave to be the final arbiter in test method selection.4.2 Field collected samples should be treated acco

17、iling water using a plasticgraduate, place the bottle on a magnetic stirrer, and mix. Add5mLofHNO3(1 + 1) to each bottle and stir rapidly for about60 min. Cap the bottle lightly to prevent both contaminationand possible spattering.10.11 Immediately after 60 min, remove the bottles from thestirrers,

18、and add about 100 mL of water to prevent thepolymerization of silica.NOTE 4The solutions may contain small amounts of graphite from thecrucibles which can be ignored. However, if the solution is cloudy, thisindicates a very high concentration of silica in the original sample and thatit has polymeriz

Such a solution must be discarded, and a new fusionperformed using a smaller quantity of sample.10.12 Pour each solution into a 200-mL volumetric flask,using a funnel, in order to retain the stirring bar. Rinse thebottle and cap, and bring to the mark with water. Pour thesolution back into the p
