24、.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 Preparation of Standards:10.1.1 Nominal 1 mg kg Intermediate Stock StandardAccurately weigh a nominal 0.50 g of the 100 mg kg stockorgano-metallic standard into a suitable container (capable ofbeing sealed for mixing). (All masses are measured to thenearest 0

25、.0001 g.) Suitable sample containers are described inPractice D4306. Add enough odorless kerosine to bring thetotal mass to a nominal 50.00 g. Seal the container and mixwell. See 12.1.1 for calculation of actual concentration.10.1.2 Working Standards of Nominally (20, 40, 60, 80,100) g kgAccurately

26、weigh a nominal (0.20, 0.40, 0.60,0.80, 1.00) g of the nominal 1 mg kg intermediate stockstandard into five suitable containers. (All masses are measuredto the nearest 0.0001 g.) Add enough odorless kerosine to eachcontainer to bring the total mass to a nominal 10.00 g. Sealcontainers and mix well.

27、This produces working standards ofnominal (20, 40, 60, 80, 100) g kg, respectively. See 12.1.2for calculations of actual concentrations.10.2 Calibration:10.2.1 Prepare a standard calibration curve by using theodorless kerosine as a blank and each of the five workingstandards. The instrument measures

28、 the integrated absorbanceAiof 10 L of each working standard and blank. The interme-diate stock standard and working standards shall be prepareddaily.10.2.2 The calibration curve is constructed by plotting thecorrected integrated absorbances (on y-axis) versus the con-centrations of copper in the wo

29、rking standards in g/kg (onx-axis). See 12.2.1 for calculating corrected integrated absor-bance. Fig. 1 shows a typical calibration curve for atomicabsorption spectroscopy. Many atomic absorption spectrom-eters have the capability of constructing the calibration curveinternally or by way of computer

30、 software. Construct the bestpossible fit of the data with available means.11. Procedure11.1 Set the spectrometer at a wavelength of 324.8 nm anda slit width of typically 0.7 nm. Align the hollow cathode lampand furnace assembly to obtain maximum transmittance.11.2 Condition new (or reinstalled) gra

31、phite tube and Lvovplatform with the temperature program provided by the spec-trometer manufacturer until the baseline shows no peaks.11.3 Calibrate the graphite furnace temperature controller at2300C according to the spectrometer manufacturers instruc-tions.11.4 When an autosampler is used with the

32、 graphite furnace,use odorless kerosine as the rinse solution. Use only autosam-pler cups made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or TFE-fluorocarbon. Do not use polystyrene cups as these degrade andleak when used with organic solvents.3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, Ameri

Then pipette10 L of each sample into the furnace and carry each throughthe furnace program. Run each

35、blank, standard, and samplethrough the furnace program listed in Table 1. Compare theintegrated absorbance of each sample to the corrected calibra-tion curve generated from the blank and standards to determinethe copper concentration of each. Run each sample in dupli-cate.NOTE 1Aliquots other than 1
