United States1type is known, but the contaminant fuel is not available for calibration, an estimate of the contaminant fuel concentration can becalculated using average response factors. If the nature of the contaminant fuel is unknown, a contaminan

17、t concentration cannotbe calculated, and the test method can only be used only to indicate the presence or absence of fuel contamination.5.2 Fuels containing aromatic compounds, such as diesel fuel and gasoline, as well as other aromatic-containing hydrocarbonmaterials, such as crude oil, coal oil,

18、and motor oil, can be determined by this test method. The quantitation limit for diesel fuelis about 75 mg/kg. Approximate quantitation limits for other aromatic-containing hydrocarbon materials that can be determinedby this screening test method are given in Table 1. Quantitation limits for highly

19、aliphatic materials, such as aviation gasoline andsynthetic motor oil, are much higher than those for more aromatic materials, such as coal oil and diesel fuel.NOTE 1The quantitation limits listed in Table 1 are approximate values because in this test method, the quantitation limit can be influenced

20、 by theparticular fuel type and soil background levels. For information on how the values given in Table 1 were determined, see Appendix X1. Data generatedduring the development of this screening test method and other information pertaining to this test method can be found in the research reports. (

21、1,2)35.3 When applying this test method to sites contaminated by diesel fuel, care should be taken in selecting the appropriateresponse factor from the list given in Table 2, with consideration given to whether or not the fuel contamination is fresh or hasundergone weathering/or biodegradation proce

22、sses. See Appendix X2.5.4 A factor to consider in using this test method is whether the contamination is a mixture of one or more fuel types. If thisis the case, and a site-specific response factor (see Appendix X2, Section X2.3) cannot be determined, the response factors for theindividual fuel type

23、s in the mixture should be used to estimate contaminant concentrations.5.5 Certain materials, such as asphalts and asphalt residuals and oils and pitch from trees and other vegetation, which respondas fuel when tested by the method giving high blank absorbance values, may interfere with use of this

24、test method. See 8.1.2.1and Note 3 for information on determining if the test method can be applied to a specific soil containing one or more of these typesof materials.5.6 Extractable material, which scatters or absorbs light at 254 nm, is a potential interference for this screening test method.6.

This is a conditi

31、oning agent for removal of interferences caused by thepresence of humic material or moisture, or both, in the sample.7.3 Isopropyl Alcohol, Reagent GradeThe extraction solvent should have an absorbance value versus air that is less than 0.1.To maintain purity, the solvent should not be stored for lo

32、nger than one week in a container having a composition that may leachUV-absorbing materials.7.3.1 Transportation of isopropyl alcohol for field testing must comply with current Department of Transportation (DOT)regulations.8. Procedure8.1 Running Blank Analyses:8.1.1 To ensure that the batch of cond

33、itioning agent, syringe, filter cartridge, and so forth, are not contributing to the absorbancereading, it is recommended that the procedure be performed as specified in 8.3 and 8.4, except using no soil and approximately5 g of calcium oxide. If the resulting extract has an absorbance value greater

34、than 0.03, the various components should be testedindividually by contacting them with the extraction solvent, and the problem component(s) should be replaced.8.1.2 In this procedure, the conditioning agent inhibits the extraction of most humic materials, and there is very little, if any,background

35、from inorganic materials. It is recommended, however, that a blank soil sample be tested as specified in 8.3 and 8.4by extracting contaminant-free soil of the same type and from the same general area as the site being studied. Approximately 5g of calcium oxide should be used for this blank extractio

36、n. Results from the blank soil analysis can be used to provide informationon the blank soil absorbance value, the amount of calcium oxide required to dry the soil and inhibit extraction of humic materials,and the time it takes the soil and calcium oxide to settle after stirring.8.1.2.1 If the absorb

37、ance value of the first soil blank extract is less than 0.05, extraction of the soil samples at the site shouldbe performed using 5 g of calcium oxide. If the absorbance value of the first soil blank extract is greater than 0.05, a second blanksample should be extracted using additional calcium oxid

38、e. As stated in 8.1.2, for the first blank sample, approximately 5 g ofcalcium oxide should be used. If a second blank analysis is required, approximately 10 g of calcium oxide should be added to thesoil sample. If the absorbance value of the second blank extract is lower than for the first blank ex

39、tract, but is still greater than0.05, a third blank sample should be tested using approximately 15 g of calcium oxide. These steps can be repeated, increasingthe amount of calcium oxide by approximately 5 g each time, until the blank absorbance value is less than 0.05. In this way, theamount of calc

40、ium oxide required to inhibit interferences from humic material and moisture in the soil can be determined. Excesscalcium oxide will not affect the analysis results. If the absorbance of the value of the second blank extract is not decreased bythe addition of 10 g of calcium oxide to the blank sampl

41、e or if the addition of calcium oxide does not lower the absorbance ofthe blank extract to less than 0.05, even with the addition of a large quantity of conditioning agent, and the absorbance of the blankextract is less than 0.1, the blank absorbance value can be subtracted from the sample absorbanc

42、e values. If this is done, blanksamples from around the site should be tested to ensure that the blank soil absorbance is constant by 60.02 absorbance units. Ifthe blank absorbance for the second blank is not decreased by the addition of 10 g of calcium oxide and the absorbance of the blankextract i

43、s greater than 0.1, or if blank, correction is not desired, use of an alternative non-UV-absorbing extraction solvent shouldbe considered. If an alternative solvent is used, the steps described in 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 should be repeated using the different solvent.4 Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical S

47、isopropyl alcohol in this method is n-heptane. Information on useof this solvent can be found in the research report.

48、red to less than 0.05 by the addition of calcium oxide, the blank absorbance value should be subtracted from the sampleabsorbance values. However, as stated in 8.1.2.1, this should only be done if the blank absorbance is less than 0.1. If the blank absorbance is greater than0.1, the method should no

49、t be used to test the soil.8.1.3 Also, it is recommended that one spike should be run for every batch of samples or for every 20 samples, whichever ismost frequent. A soil sample is spiked by adding 5 L of diesel fuel or 25 L of gasoline and shaking the bottle for 3 min. Theextraction and analysis then are performed as outlined in 8.3.3 8.4.5. Recovery is calculated by comparing the absorbance of theextract from the spiked soil at 254 nm with the absorbance of a solution of 5 L of diesel fuel or 25 L of gasoline in 50 mL ofisopropyl alcohol.
