1、Designation: D 7237 06Standard Test Method forAquatic Free Cyanide with Flow Injection Analysis (FIA)Utilizing Gas Diffusion Separation and AmperometricDetection1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7237; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal

2、 adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is used to establish the concentration ofaquatic

3、“free” cyanide in an aqueous wastewater or effluent.The test conditions of this method are used to measure freecyanide (HCN and CN-) and cyanide bound in the metal-cyanide complexes that are easily dissociated into free cyanideions at the pH of the aquatic environment ranging from pH 6to pH 8. The e

4、xtent of HCN formation is less dependent ontemperature than the pH; however, the temperature can beregulated if deemed necessary to further simulate the actualaquatic environment.1.2 The aquatic free cyanide method is based on the sameinstrumentation and technology that is described in standardtest

5、method D 6888, but employs milder conditions (pH 6-8buffer versus HCl in the reagent stream), and does not utilizeligand displacement reagents.1.3 The aquatic free cyanide measured by this procedureshould be similar to actual levels of HCN in the originalaquatic environment. This in turn may give a

6、reliable index oftoxicity to aquatic organisms.1.4 This procedure is applicable over a range of approxi-mately 2 to 500 g/L (parts per billion) aquatic free cyanide.Sample dilution may increase cyanide recoveries depending onthe cyanide speciation; therefore, it is not recommended todilute samples.

7、Higher concentrations can be analyzed byincreasing the range of calibration standards or with a lowerinjection volume. In accordance with Guide E 1763 andPractice D 6512 the lower scope limit was determined to be 9g/L for chlorinated gold leaching barren effluent water.1.5 This standard does not pur

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Summary o

16、f Test Method4.1 The test is generally performed at room temperature, buttemperature of the sample and flow injection reagents can beregulated to match the aquatic environment if necessary.4.2 The sample is introduced into a carrier solution of theflow injection analysis (FIA) system via an injectio

17、n valve andconfluenced downstream with a phosphate buffer solution atpH in the 6-8 range. The released hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gasdiffuses through a hydrophobic gas diffusion membrane into analkaline acceptor stream where the CN-is captured and sent toan amperometric flowcell detector with a silver-w

18、orking elec-trode. In the presence of cyanide, silver in the workingelectrode is oxidized at the applied potential. The anodiccurrent measured is proportional to the concentration ofcyanide in the standard or sample injected.4.3 Calibrations and sample data are processed with theinstruments data acq

19、uisition software.5. Significance and Use5.1 Cyanide and hydrogen cyanide are highly toxic. Regu-lations have been established to require the monitoring ofcyanide in industrial and domestic wastes and surface waters.35.2 It is useful to determine the aquatic free cyanide toestablish an index of toxi

20、city when a wastewater is introducedto the pH and temperature of the natural environment.5.3 This test method is applicable for natural water, salinewaters, and wastewater effluent.6. Interferences6.1 Sulfide will diffuse through the gas diffusion membraneand can be detected in the amperometric flow

21、cell. Oxidizedproducts of sulfide can also rapidly convert CN-to SCN-at ahigh pH. Refer to 11.2 for sulfide removal.6.2 Refer to section 6.1 of Test Method D 6888 and TestMethod D 2036 for elimination of cyanide interferences.7. Apparatus7.1 The instrument should be equipped with a precisesample int

22、roduction system, a gas diffusion manifold withhydrophobic membrane, and an amperometric detection sys-tem to include a silver working electrode, a Ag/AgCl referenceelectrode, and a Pt or stainless steel counter electrode.

The analyst may modify these settings as long as perfor-mance of the method has not been degraded. Contact the instrumentmanufacturer for recommended instrument parameters.7.2 An autosampler is

24、recommended but not required toautomate sample injections and increase throughput. Autosam-plers are usually available as an option from the instrumentsmanufacturer. If the sample is to be analyzed at a constanttemperature other than the temperature of the room, manualinjections may be required unle

25、ss the autosampler is equippedto maintain constant temperature.7.3 If aquatic free cyanide at a temperature other than roomtemperature is required, a constant temperature bath capable ofmaintaining the temperature of the aquatic environment within6 0.5C should be used to regulate the temperature of

26、the flowinjection reagents and samples.7.4 Data Acquisition SystemUse the computer hardwareand software recommended by the instrument manufacturer tocontrol the apparatus and to collect data from the detector.7.5 Pump TubingUse tubing recommended by instrumentmanufacturer.
