2、 or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method is used to establish the concentration offree cyanide in a

3、n aqueous wastewater or effluent. The testconditions of this method are used to measure free cyanide(HCN and CN-) and cyanide bound in the metal-cyanidecomplexes that are easily dissociated into free cyanide ions atthe pH of 6. Free cyanide is determined at pH 6 at roomtemperature. The aquatic free

4、cyanide can be determined bymatching the pH to the water in the receiving environment inthe range of pH 6 to 8. The extent of HCN formation is lessdependent on temperature than the pH; however, the tempera-ture can be regulated if deemed necessary for aquatic freecyanide to further simulate the actu

5、al aquatic environment.1.2 The free cyanide method is based on the same instru-mentation and technology that is described in standard testmethod D6888, but employs milder conditions (pH 6-8 bufferversus HCl or H2SO4in the reagent stream), and does notutilize ligand displacement reagents.1.3 The aqua

6、tic free cyanide measured by this procedureshould be similar to actual levels of HCN in the originalaquatic environment. This in turn may give a 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) free cyanid

7、e. Sampledilution may increase cyanide recoveries depending on thecyanide speciation; therefore, it is not recommended to dilutesamples. Higher concentrations can be analyzed by increasingthe range of calibration standards or with a lower injectionvolume. In accordance with Guide E1763 and Practice

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns

18、.4. Summary of 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 tomeasure aquatic free cyanide.4.2 The sample is introduced into a carrier solution of theflow inj

19、ection analysis (FIA) system via an injection valve andconfluence downstream with a phosphate buffer solution at pH6 to measure free cyanide or in the range of pH 6 to 8 tomeasure aquatic free cyanide. The released hydrogen cyanide(HCN) gas diffuses through a hydrophobic gas diffusionmembrane into a

20、n alkaline acceptor stream where the CN-iscaptured and sent to an amperometric flowcell detector with asilver-working electrode. In the presence of cyanide, silver inthe working electrode is oxidized at the applied potential. Theanodic current measured is proportional to the concentration ofcyanide

21、in the standard or sample injected.4.3 Calibrations and sample data are processed with theinstruments data acquisition 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

22、wastes and surface waters.35.2 It is useful to determine the aquatic free cyanide toestablish an index of toxicity when a wastewater is introducedinto the natural environment at a given pH and temperature.5.3 This test method is applicable for natural water, salinewaters, and wastewater effluent.6.

23、Interferences6.1 Sulfide will diffuse through the gas diffusion membraneand can be detected in the amperometric flowcell. Oxidizedproducts of sulfide can also rapidly convert CN-to SCN-at ahigh pH. Refer to 11.3 for sulfide removal.6.2 Refer to section 6.1 of Test Method D6888 and TestMethod D2036 f

Autosam-plers are usually available as an option from the instrumentsmanufacturer. If the sample is to

27、be analyzed at a constanttemperature other than the temperature of the room, manualinjections may be required unless 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 of
