Significance and Use4.1 A properly designed, installed and developed ground

18、-water monitoring well, constructed in accordance with PracticeD5092, should facilitate collection of samples of groundwaterthat can be analyzed to determine both the physical andchemical properties of that sample. Samples collected fromthese wells that require analysis for dissolved constituentssho

19、uld be filtered in the field prior to chemical preservation andshipment to the laboratory for analysis.5. Purpose of Groundwater Sample Filtration5.1 Groundwater samples may be filtered to separate adefined fraction of the sample for analysis.6. Timing of Groundwater Sample Filtration6.1 Groundwater

20、 samples should be filtered immediatelyupon collection and prior to chemical preservation of thesample. (1)4Filtration should be completed in as short a timeas possible while minimizing sample aeration, agitation, pres-sure changes, temperature changes and prolonged contact withambient air.NOTE 1The

21、 pressure change that occurs when the sample is broughtto the surface may cause changes in sample chemistry which includelosses of dissolved gases and precipitation of dissolved constituents suchas metals. When handling samples during filtration operations, additionalturbulence and mixing of the sam

22、ple with air can cause aeration andoxidation of dissolved ferrous to ferric iron. Ferric iron rapidly precipi-tates as amorphous iron hydroxide and can absorb other dissolved tracemetals (2).7. Groundwater Sample Filtration Procedures7.1 Preparation for Groundwater Sample FiltrationThegroundwater sa

23、mple filtration process consists of three phases:selection of filtration method; selection and pretreatment offilter media; and groundwater sample filtration prior to transferinto the sample container.7.1.1 Filtration Method Selection CriteriaA wide varietyof methods are available for field filtrati

24、on of groundwatersamples. In general, filtration equipment can be divided intopositive pressure filtration and vacuum (negative pressure)filtration methods, each with several different filtration mediumconfigurations. Groundwater samples undergo pressurechanges as they are brought from the saturated

25、 zone (wheregroundwater is under pressure greater than atmospheric) to thesurface (where it is under atmospheric pressure), resulting inchanges in sample chemistry. Vacuum filtration methods fur-ther exacerbate pressure changes. For this reason, positivepressure filtration methods are preferred. Tab

Fig. 1 presents examples ofcommon filter characteristics and applications.7.1.2 When selecting a filtration method, the followingcriteria should be evaluated on a site-by-site basis:7.1.2.1 Ef

35、ermit comparison of data gener-ated. If an improved method of filtration is determined to beappropriate for a sampling program, the sampling and analysisplan should be revised and implemented in lieu of continuationof the existing filtration method. In this event, the effect oncomparability of data

36、needs to be examined and quantified toallow proper data analysis and interpretation (Note 4).NOTE 4Statistical methods may need to be implemented to determinethe significance of any changes in data resulting from a change in filtrationmethod.7.1.3 Filtration Equipment Materials of ConstructionFiltra

37、tion equipment and filtration media are available in awide variety of materials of construction. Materials of con-struction should be evaluated (for example, by contactingmanufacturers, conducting leach tests or collecting equipmentblanks) to minimize sample bias:7.1.3.1 Potential for negative bias

38、due to adsorption ofconstituents from the sample (2);7.1.3.2 Potential for positive bias due to desorption orleaching of constituents into the sample (3-6);7.1.3.3 Reduction of the effective filter pore size caused byclogging when filtering water containing suspended particles;(6) and7.1.3.4 Aeratio

39、n of the sample leading to precipitation ofsome constituents (for example, ferric hydroxide) (3).7.1.4 Selection and Pretreatment of Filter MediaFiltrationmedia are manufactured with specific pore size diametersdesigned to permit particles of a selected size to be retained bythe filter medium. Filtr

40、ation media must be selected afterconsidering filter pore size, and materials of construction.Groundwater samples requiring field filtration must be filteredusing a medium with a pore size that meets the requirements ofthe approved sampling and analysis plan.7.1.5 Preconditioning of the Filtration M

41、edium:7.1.5.1 Filter media require preconditioning prior to samplefiltration (7). Purposes of filter preconditioning include: tominimize positive sample bias associated with residues thatmay exist on the filter surface or constituents that may leachfrom the filter; and to create a uniform wetting fr

42、ont across theentire surface of the filter to prevent channel flow through thefilter and increase the efficiency of the filter surface area.Preconditioning the filter medium may not completely preventsorptive losses from the sample as it passes through the filtermedium.7.1.5.2 In most cases, filter

43、preconditioning should be doneat the wellhead (Note 5) immediately prior to use. Somemanufacturers prerinse filters prior to sale. These filters aretypically marked “prerinsed” on filter packaging and providedirections for any additional field preconditioning requiredprior to filter use.NOTE 5Some f

44、ilters require preconditioning procedures that can onlybe done in the laboratory (for example, GF/F filters must be baked priorto use).7.1.5.3 The procedure used to precondition the filter me-dium is determined by the following: the design of the filter(that is, filter capsules, or disks), the mater

45、ial of construction ofthe filter medium, the configuration of the filtration equipment,and the parameters of concern for sample analysis. Filtrationmedium manufacturers instructions should be followed priorto implementing any filter preconditioning protocols in thefield to ensure that proper methods

46、 are employed and tominimize potential bias of samples being filtered.7.1.5.4 The volume of water used in filter preconditioning isdependent upon the surface area of the filter and the mediumsability to absorb liquid. Many filter media become fragile whensaturated and are highly subject to damage du

47、ring handling.FIG. 1 Examples of Common Filter Characteristics and ApplicationsD6564 00 (2012)13Therefore, saturated filter media should be handled carefullyand are best preconditioned immediately prior to use.7.1.6 Preconditioning of Disk FiltersDisk filters (alsoknown as plate filters) should be p

48、reconditioned as follows:7.1.6.1 Hold the edge of the filter with filter forceps con-structed of materials that are appropriate for the analytes ofinterest (Note 6);NOTE 6Manufacturers often use colored parchment paper disks (forexample, yellow or blue) to separate filter disks and these should not

49、beconfused with the filtration medium.7.1.6.2 Saturate the entire filter disk with water (Note 7)(while holding the filter over a containment vessel (not thesample bottle or filter holder) to catch all run-off, then;NOTE 7Filter manufacturers should be consulted to determine filter-specific volumes of water or medium-specific aqueous solution to be usedfor optimum filter preconditioning.7.1.6.3 Place the saturated filter on the appropriate filterstand or holder in preparation for sample filtration;7.1.6.4 Complete assembly of the filtration apparatus;
