Summary of Test Method4.1 Ion chromatography combines conductometric detectionwith the separation capabilities of ion exchange resins. (1) Afiltered ali

11、quot of the sample, ranging in size from 50 to 250L, is pumped through an ion exchange column where theanions of interest are separated. Each ions affinity for theexchange sites, known as its selectivity quotient, is largelydetermined by its radius and valence. Because different ionshave different s

12、electivity quotients, the sample ions elute fromthe column as discrete bands. Each ion is identified by itsretention time within the exchange column. The sample ionsare selectively eluted off the separator column and onto asuppressor column, where the conductivity of the eluent ions isreduced and th

13、e sample ions are converted to their correspond-ing strong acids. The separated anions are detected by aconductance cell. The chromatograms produced are displayedon a strip chart recorder or other data acquisition device.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for the determination of theanions: chloride, nitrate, and sulfate in atmospheric wet depo-sition

18、.5.2 Fig. X1.1 in the appendix represents cumulative fre-quency percentile concentration plots of chloride, nitrate, andsulfate obtained from analyses of over 5000 wet depositionsamples. These data may be used as an aid in the selection ofappropriate calibration solutions. (3)6. Interferences6.1 Unr

19、esolved peaks will result when the concentration ofone of the sample components is 10 to 20 times higher thananother component that appears in the chromatogram as anadjacent peak. Decreasing the eluent concentration or flow rate,increasing column length, or decreasing sample size maycorrect this pro

20、blem.6.2 Interferences may be caused by ions with retentiontimes that are similar to the anion of interest.The retention timeof sulfite may be similar to nitrate or sulfate. Other possibleinterfering ions are bromide and phosphate. Before analyzingprecipitation samples, measure the retention times o

21、f thesepossible interfering ions. Interference is common in some typesof wet deposition samples. If this interference is anticipated,decreasing the eluent concentration or flow rate, increasingcolumn length, or decreasing sample size will result in im-proved peak resolution.6.3 Water from the sample

22、 injection will cause a negativepeak (water dip) in the chromatogram when it elutes becauseits conductance is less than that of the suppressed eluent.Chloride may elute near the water dip and must be sufficientlyresolved from the dip to be accurately quantified. This can beachieved by changing the e

23、luent concentration or decreasingthe flow rate. The potential interference of the negative peakcan be eliminated by adding an equivalent of 100 l of aprepared eluent concentrate (solution that is 100 times moreconcentrated than the eluent used for analysis) per 10.0 mL ofsample. Identical eluent add

24、itions must also be included incalibration and quality control solutions.6.4 Decreases in retention times and resolution are symp-toms of column deterioration which may be caused by thebuildup of contaminants on the exchange resin. Refer to themanufacturers guidelines for instructions on cleaning th

25、ecolumn resin and column filter beds. Excising the contami-nated portion of the column and changing the filters may alsoimprove performance. If the procedure in this section do notrestore the retention times, replace the column.6.5 Contaminated valves and sample lines may also reducesystem performan

26、ce causing decreased retention times andresolutions. Refer to the manufacturers guidelines for instruc-tions on cleaning the valves and replacing the lines.NOTE 1Review operational details and refer to the trouble shootingguide in the Operators Manual to determine the cause of decreasedretention tim

27、es and resolution prior to extensive cleaning or changing ofall valves, columns, filters, sample lines, or all of the above.6.6 The presence of air bubbles in the columns, tubing, orconductivity detector cell may cause baseline fluctuations andpeak variability. Prevent introducing air into the syste

28、m wheninjecting samples and standards. The use of degassed water foreluents and regenerants may help to minimize the introductionof air (See 8.2).6.7 For more information on interferences refer to TestMethod D 4327.7.

Volumetric glass-ware must meet the requirement for Class A items given inSpecification E 694. Pipettes with disposable tips

45、are preferredin order to reduce contamination. The pipettes must have aprecision and a bias of 1 % or better. Precision and bias aredetermined by weighing a minimum of ten separately pipettedaliquots.7.4 Laboratory FacilitiesLaboratories used for the analy-sis of wet deposition samples must be free

46、from sources ofcontamination. The use of laminar flow clean air work stationsis recommended for sample processing and preparation toavoid the introduction of airborne contaminants. Samples mustalways be capped or covered prior to analysis. A positivepressure environment within the laboratory is also

47、 recom-mended to minimize the introduction of external sources ofcontaminant gases and particulates. Room temperature fluctua-tions must be controlled to within 6C to prevent baseline driftand changes in detector response. Windows within the labora-tory must be kept closed at all times and sealed if

48、 air leaks areapparent. The use of disposable tacky floor mats at the entranceto the laboratory is helpful in reducing the particulate loadingwithin the room.8.
