The intensities of light emitted atcharacteristic wavelengths of the metals are measured sequentially or simultaneously. These intensities are

19、related toconcentrations by the appropriate use of calibration data.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test methods cover, in single procedures, the determination of Ni, V, and Fe in crude oils and residual oils. These testmethods complement Test Method D1548, which covers only the determination of va

20、nadium.4.2 When fuels are combusted, vanadium present in the fuel can form corrosive compounds. The value of crude oils can bedetermined, in part, by the concentrations of nickel, vanadium, and iron. Nickel and vanadium, present at trace levels in petroleumfractions, can deactivate catalysts during

21、processing. These test methods provide a means of determining the concentrations ofnickel, vanadium, and iron.5. Purity of Reagents5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents conform to thespecifications of the Committee onAnal

22、ytical Reagents of theAmerican Chemical Society where such specifications are available.4Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use withoutlessening the accuracy of the determination.5.2 When determining metals at conc

23、entrations less than 1 mg/kg, use ultra-pure reagents.5.3 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, reference to water shall be understood to mean reagent water conforming toType II of Specification D1193.6. Sampling and Sample Handling6.1 The objective of sampling is to obtain a sample for testing

24、 purposes that is representative of the entire quantity. Thus, takesamples in accordance with the instructions in Practice D4057 or D4177. Do not fill the sample container more than two-thirdsfull.6.2 Prior to weighing, stir the sample and manually shake the sample container. If the sample does not

Preparation of Standards and Specimens9.1 BlankPrepare a blank by diluting mineral oil with dilution solvent. The concentr

36、m).10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Consult Practice D7260 regarding the optimum operation of any ICP-AES system.10.2 Consult the manufacturers instructions for the operation of the ICP instrument. This test method assumes that goodoperating procedures are followed. Design differences between instru

37、ments make it impractical to specify required parameters.10.3 Assign the appropriate operating parameters to the instrument taskfile so that the desired analytes can be determined.Parameters include: (1) element, (2) analytical wavelength, (3) background correction wavelengths (optional), (4) intere

38、lementcorrection factors (refer to 10.4), (5) integration time of 1 to 10 s, (6 ) two to five consecutive repeat integrations. Suggestedwavelengths are listed in Table 1.10.4 Spectral InterferencesCheck all spectral interferences expected for the analytes. If interference corrections are necessary,f

39、ollow the manufacturers operating guide to develop and apply correction factors.10.4.1 Spectral interferences can usually be avoided by judicious choice of analytical wavelengths. If spectral interferencescannot be avoided, the necessary corrections should be made using the computer software supplie

40、d by the instrument manufactureror by using the empirical method described in Test Method D5185.10.5 Consult the instrument manufacturers instructions for operating the instrument with organic solvents.10.6 During instrument warm-up, nebulize the blank solution. Inspect the torch for carbon build-up

41、. When carbon build-upoccurs, replace the torch and adjust the operating conditions to correct the problem.10.6.1 Carbon build-up within the torch can be caused by improperly adjusted argon flow rates, improper solution flow rates,and positioning the torch injector tube too close to the load coil. C

42、arbon deposits can invalidate a calibration and extinguish theplasma.11. Calibration and Analysis11.1 Using the blank and working standard, perform a two-point calibration at the beginning of the analysis of each batch ofspecimens. Additional working standards can be used, if desired.TABLE 1 Element

44、 Emission Spectroscopy:AnAtlas of Spectral Information, Elsevier,NY, 1985.D5708 12311.2 Use the check standard to determine if the calibration for each analyte is accurate. When the result obtained on the checkstandard is not within 65 % of the expected concentration for each analyte, take correctiv

45、e action and repeat the calibration.11.3 Analyze the specimens in the same manner as the calibration standards (that is, same integration time, plasma conditions,and so forth). Calculate concentrations by multiplying the concentration determined for the test specimen solution by the dilutionfactor.

46、Calculation of concentrations can be performed manually or by computer when such a feature is available.11.4 When the measured intensities for the test specimen solution exceed the corresponding intensities for the working standard,either ensure that the calibration curve is linear to the concentrat

47、ion of the element in the test specimen solution or dilute the testspecimen solution with the blank solution and reanalyze.11.5 Analyze the check standard after every fifth specimen. If any result is not within 5 % of the expected concentration, takecorrective action, repeat the calibration, and rea

48、nalyze the specimen solutions back to the previous acceptable check standardanalysis.11.6 The use of spectral background correction is highly recommended, particularly when the test specimen solutions containlow concentrations of the analytes (typically less than 1 mg/kg). When concentrations are lo

49、w, background changes, which canresult from variability in the compositions of test specimen solutions, can affect the accuracy of the analysis. Backgroundcorrection minimizes errors due to variable background intensities.TEST METHOD BICPAFTER ACID DECOMPOSITION OF SAMPLE12.
