15、28-2959. United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 Asolution containing the metal(s) of interest is aspiratedas a fine mist into an air acetylene flame where it is convertedto an atomic vapor consisting of ground state atoms. Theseground state atoms are capable of absorbing electromagneticradiation

16、 over a series of very narrow, sharply defined wave-lengths from a distinct line source of light, usually a hollowcathode lamp specific to the metal of interest, passed throughthe flame. Light from the source beam, less whatever intensitywas absorbed by the atoms of the metal of interest, is isolate

17、dby the monochromator and measured by the photodetector. Theamount of light absorbed by the analyte is quantified bycomparing the light transmitted through the flame to lighttransmitted by a reference beam. The amount of light absorbedin the flame is proportional to the concentration of the metal in

18、solution. The relationship between absorption and concentra-tion is expressed by Beers Law:logIo/I! 5 abc 5 A (1)where:Io= incident radiant power,I = transmitted radiant power,a = absorptivity (constant for a given system),b = sample path length,c = concentration of absorbing species, andA = absorba

19、nce.The atomic absorption spectrophotometer is calibrated withstandard solutions containing known concentrations of theelement(s) of interest. The concentration of each analyte in theunknown sample is determined from contructed calibrationcurves.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be use

20、d for the determination ofcalcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium in atmosphericwet deposition samples.5.2 Emphasis is placed on the easily contaminated quality ofatmospheric wet deposition samples due to the low concentra-tion levels of dissolved metals commonly present.5.3 Annex A1 represents cu

These data may be used as an aid in theselection of appropriate calibration standard concentrations. (3)6. Interferences6.1 A chemical inte

22、rference can prevent, enhance, or sup-press the formation of ground state atoms in the flame. Forexample, in the case of calcium determinations, the presence ofphosphate or sulfate can result in the formation of a salt thathinders proper atomization of the solution when it is aspiratedinto the flame

23、. This decreases the number of free, ground stateatoms in the flame, resulting in lowered absorbance values.Aluminum can cause a similar interference when measuringmagnesium. The addition of appropriate complexing agents,such as lanthanum, to the sample solution reduces or eliminateschemical interfe

24、rences and may increase the sensitivity of thistest method.6.2 Alkali metals, such as potassium and sodium, canundergo ionization in an air-acetylene flame resulting in adecrease in ground state atoms available for measurement byatomic absorption. The addition of a large excess of an easilyionizable

25、 element, such as cesium, will eliminate this problem,TABLE 1 Interlaboratory Precision and Bias for Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium Determined from Analyte Spikes ofSynthetic Atmospheric Wet Deposition SamplesElementNumber ofObservationsAmountAdded,mg/LMeanRecovery,mg/LStA95 %Reproducibil
