6、nitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D 1356.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Particulate material from a measured volume of air iscollected by means of a membrane filter. Gaseous fluoride,from the sample of air, is absorbed by an alkali-impregnatedcellulose pad p

7、laced immediately behind the membrane filter.The membrane filter and collected solids are made alkaline,ashed, and the residue fused with additional alkali. Finally, thefluoride is determined in a solution of the melt by use of afluoride ion-selective electrode. Gaseous fluoride is determinedin an a

8、queous extract of the cellulose pad, also by means of thefluoride ion-selective electrode.5. Significance and Use5.1 The capability of this test method to collect and quan-titate both particulate and gaseous fluorides over the rangesnormally encountered in industrial atmospheres makes it ap-plicable

9、 for industrial hygiene evaluation and control purposes.The recommended range of this test method is from 0.005 to 5mg F/m3air.6. Interferences6.1 Because an ion-selective electrode responds to ionicactivity, insoluble and complex forms of fluoride must bereleased by appropriate combinations of fusi

10、on, adjustment ofpH, and addition of complexing agents.6.2 Acidity (pH) and ionic strengths of fluoride standardsolutions must be matched to those of samples.6.3 Temperature of sample and standard solutions must becontrolled within 6 2C.7.

Sampling9.1 For general information on sampling, refer to PracticeD 1357.9.2 Equip the worker whose exposure is to be evaluatedwith a personal monitor connected by a 75-cm length of hoseto a belt-supported sampling pump

22、. Attach the monitor to theworkers collar and remove the plug for closed-face sampling.Air is drawn through the filter at the calibrated rate ofapproximately 2.0 L/min and maintained at that rate byoccasional checking and adjustment. On termination of sam-pling, note the duration of sampling, reseal

23、 the monitor andreturn the monitor to the laboratory. Filter a minimum airsample of 250 L.9.3 Total particulate loading may be determined, if required,by pre- and post-weighing of the membrane filter.10. Preparation of Monitors10.1 Disassemble the personal monitor (see 7.2), removingthe membrane fil

24、ter and cellulose pads. Moisten the pad with ameasured volume of alkaline fixative solution (see 8.3); 0.8 mLis required for a pad of 37-mm diameter. Dry the pad at 105Cfor 30 to 45 min.NOTE 1Preparation of alkali-impregnated pads must be carried out ina low-fluoride environment with minimum exposur

25、e.10.2 Reassemble the filter monitor, inserting an impreg-nated pad and membrane filter, and closing with the filterretaining ring and front cover. Seal the assembly against airleakage by a wrap of masking tape or cellulose shrink bands,covering the crevice between the retaining ring and back cover.

26、Close the inlet and outlet openings of the monitor with plasticplugs.11. Calibration of the Personal Monitoring Pump11.1 Refer to Practice 5337.11.2 Select several of the prepared monitors at random forcalibration of air flow rate with the personal sampling pump(see 7.1). Connect the monitor exit to

27、 the sampling pump bymeans of a 75-cm length of hose. Connect the flowmeter(preferably a bubble flowmeter, magnehelic flowmeter, or wettest meter) to the inlet port of the monitor. Start the pump andadjust its rate, noting the position of the rotameter ball when asampling rate of about 2.0 L/min is

28、indicated by use of thecalibration flowmeter and a timer.NOTE 2Calibration of pumps with monitors in both in-line andopen-face modes showed no significant difference.12. Calibration12.1 Fluoride Standards, ParticulateAdd 1.0 g borate-carbonate fusion mixture to each of four 250-mL beakerscontaining

29、10 mL of water and 50 mL of buffer solution (8.4).Add a few drops of (1 + 1) hydrochloric acid (see 8.8) and addvarious size aliquots (1, 5, 10, and 25 mL) of 100 g/mLstandard fluoride solution (see 8.5) to produce a series ofworking standards (1, 5, 10, and 25 g/F/mL). Transfer to a100-mL volumetri

30、c flask, and dilute to volume with water.NOTE 3These standards may be stored for several months in tightlycapped polyethylene bottles, under refrigeration.12.2 For calibration of the electrode, pour about 20 mL ofthe working standard solution into a plastic beaker containinga TFE-fluorocarbon-coated

31、 stirring bar. Adjust solution towithin 6 2C of an arbitrarily selected standard temperature.Insert the fluoride and reference electrodes into the constantlystirred solution and measure the potential after 2 min. Repeatfor each of the working standards.12.3 Prepare a calibration graph, on three-cycl

32、e semilogpaper, relating potential, in mV (linear scale), to concentrationof fluoride in m/mL (log scale). Reproducibility of each pointshould be 6 1 mV.Alinear calibration graph is obtained in the0.5 to 25 g/mL range, with a slope of between 57 and 59 mVper tenfold change in fluoride concentration.

33、NOTE 4If solutions containing less than 0.5 g/mL are measured,additional standards must be prepared since the calibration graph is notlinear at low fluoride concentrations.4Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

35、each of four100-mL volumetric flasks, place 10 mL of water and 50 mL ofbuffer solution (see 8.4). Add various size aliquots (1, 5, 10,and 25 mL) of 100 g/mL standard fluoride solution (see 8.5)to produce a series of working standards (1, 5, 10, and 25 gF/mL). Dilute to volume with water.12.5 A separ

36、ate calibration graph for gaseous fluoride isprepared from potential measurements of these standards (see12.4), by the same procedure as used for particulate fluorides(see 12.2 and 12.3).NOTE 5The analysis of control standards and blanks is recommendedto determine recovery levels.13. Procedure13.1 P

37、articulate FluorideCarefully remove the mem-brane filter from the filter holder and place it in a nickel,Inconel, or platinum crucible containing 0.5 g borate-carbonatefusion mixture. Transfer any dust from inside the filter coverand retaining ring to the crucible. Drench the filter with ethanoland

38、ignite with a small gas flame. Heat the residue to fusiontemperature for 1 to 2 min, then cool and dissolve in a few mLof water. Transfer the same solution into a plastic beaker bymeans of 25 mLof buffer solution (see 8.4) followed by a rinseof the crucible with a few drops of (1+1) hydrochloric aci

39、d (see8.8). Dilute to 50 mL in a volumetric flask, mix and bring tostandard temperature. Pour about 20 mL of the solution into aplastic beaker and measure the potential while the electrodesare immersed in the gently stirred solution. Convert potential(mV) to fluoride concentration (g/mL) by means of

40、 thecalibration graph determined from the standard fluoride seriescontaining borate-carbonate flux (see 12.3).NOTE 6During the fusion procedure, do not overheat crucible. Fluo-ride can be lost due to volatilization. The crucible should be heated to adull, red glow until all of the sample is consumed

41、.13.2 Gaseous FluorideTransfer the impregnated cellulosepad to a 100-mL plastic beaker containing 25 mL water and 25mLbuffer solution (see 8.4).Allow the pad to soak for about 30min with sufficient stirring to reduce it to a pulp. Bring thesolution to standard temperature, insert the electrodes, and

42、measure potential of the gently stirred mixture after 2 min.Convert potential (mV) to fluoride concentration (g/mL) bymeans of the calibration graph determined from the standardfluoride series (see 12.5).14.
