Significance and Use5.1 Cyanide is routinely analyzed in water samples, often todemonstrate regulatory compliance; however, improper samplecollection or pretreatment can result in significant positive ornegative bias potentially resulting in unnecessary permit

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intendedthat all reagents shall conform to the specifications of theCommittee on Analytical Reagent

18、s of the American ChemicalSociety, where such specifications are available.6Other gradesmay be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent isof sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lesseningthe accuracy of the determination.6.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, ref

25、for further informa-tion about sample bottles.7. Hazards7.1 WarningBecause of the toxicity of cyanide, greatcare must be exercised in its handling. Acidification of cyanidesolutions produces toxic hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Adequateventilation is necessary when handling cyanide solutions and afume hood

26、 should be utilized whenever possible.7.2 WarningMany of the reagents used in these testmethods are highly toxic. These reagents and their solutionsmust be disposed of properly.8. Procedure8.1 Laboratory personnel and field samplers should followthe practices described in Guide D 3856. When sampling

27、closed conduits such as process streams refer to PracticeD 3370. When sampling fluvial sediment in motion or openchannel flow refer to Guide D 4411. It is recommended toconsult with the analytical laboratory prior to collectingsamples to ensure the proper sample volume, containers,preservatives, etc

28、., as these parameters may vary depending onthe analytical methods used to measure the cyanide.8.2 Sample Containers:8.2.1 Sample containers shall be made of materials that willnot contaminate the sample, cleaned thoroughly to remove allextraneous surface contamination prior to use. Chemicallyresist

29、ant glass containers are suitable as well as rigid orcollapsible plastic containers made of polyethylene or polypro-pylene.8.2.2 Virgin commercially cleaned containers certified to befree of contamination are recommended; otherwise, washcontainers with soap or biodegradable detergent if required,the

30、n dry by draining. For further information on samplecontainers, see Practices D 3694.8.2.3 Samples should be collected and stored in dark bottlesto minimize exposure to ultraviolet radiation.8.3 Sample Collection, Preservation, and Mitigation ofInterferences:8.3.1 Collect a sample volume that is suf

31、ficient to theanalytical method into a sample bottle described above. If therequired sample volume is not specified, usually 1Lis sufficientfor most analytical test methods, however, flow injection andautomated methods usually consume considerably less samplevolume than manual methods.6Reagent Chemi

33、l Formulary, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc. (USPC), Rockville,MD.D73650728.3.2 Certain sample matrices may require immediateanalysis to avoid cyanide degradation due to interferences.While holding times are specified in this practice, it isrecommended to estimate the actual holding time for eac

34、hsample matrix as described in Practice D 4841. A holding timestudy is required for any sample matrix showing evidence thatthe holding time is less than presented in this practice. Potentialinterferences and their corresponding analytical methods areshown in Table 1. In the absence of interference,

35、simplecyanides such as HCN, KCN, and NaCN are determinedreadily by each of the determinative steps, however, to deter-mine “total” cyanide, metal cyanide bonds must be broken andcyanide separated to produce simple cyanide. In most totalcyanide methods, this is accomplished by distillation from acids

36、olution. Although distillation is assumed to eliminate or atleast minimize most interferences, the high temperature andstrong acid solutions can potentially introduce significantpositive or negative bias. Interferences for total cyanide bydistillation are listed in Tables 2 and 3. Interferences are

37、alsodependent on the determinative step, which are shown in Table4.8.3.3 There may be interferences that are not mitigated bythis procedure. Any removal or suppression of interferencemay be employed, provided the laboratory demonstrates that itmore accurately measures cyanide through quality control

38、measures described in the analytical test method. Any removaltechnique not described in this practice or the analytical testmethod should be documented along with supporting data.8.3.4 If the sample can be analyzed within 48 h and sulfideis not present, adjust the pH to 1213 with sodium hydroxide(fo

39、r example, 5 % NaOH or 50 % NaOH). For aquatic freecyanide by Test Method D 7237, adjust to pH 11 as specified inthe test method. Verify the pH of each sample with pHindicator test strips or by Test Methods D 1293. Refrigerate thesample and analyze within 48 h.8.3.5 Otherwise, to extend the holding

40、time to 14 days andmitigate interferences, treat the sample immediately using anyor all of the following techniques as necessary, followed byadjustment of the sample to pH 1213 and refrigeration.8.3.6 SulfideTest for the presence of sulfide by placing adrop of sample on a lead acetate test strip tha

41、t has beenpreviously moistened with acetate buffer. If the test strip turnsblack, sulfide is present (above 50 mg/L S2-) and treatment isnecessary as described in sections 8.3.6.1 or 8.3.6.2. If the testis negative and there are no further interferences suspected,adjust the pH to 12-13, refrigerate,

42、 and ship or transport to thelaboratory.8.3.6.1 If the sample contains sulfide as indicated with alead acetate test strip or is known to contain sulfides that willinterfere with the test method, dilute the sample with reagentwater until the lead acetate test strip no longer indicates thepresence of

43、sulfide (1500 mg/L Carbonate, Sulfide above 50 mg/L unless mitigated asdescribed in D6888-04.D7365077used, it should be tested to ensure that cyanide results are notaffected adversely. WarningWhen NaBH4is added tosamples that contain arsenic, the formation of toxic arsine gascan occur.8.3.12 Particu

44、late CyanideTo avoid low recoveries ofparticulate cyanide (for example, ferric ferrocyanide), allsamples should be held at room temperature at pH 12 for aminimum of 4 h prior to analysis.8.4 After the sample has been collected, treated for inter-ferences, and preserved with sodium hydroxide, refrige

45、rate thesample, then transport to the laboratory. Refer to Guide D 4840for chain-of-custody procedures.8.5 Upon receipt of sample(s) at the laboratory, verify thatthe sample is stabilized at the proper pH and that interferencesare not present as indicated in this practice. At a minimum, testunknown

46、samples for pH, sulfides, and oxidants using pHpaper, lead acetate test strips previously moistened with acetatebuffer, and KI starch paper, respectively. Document and miti-gate any interference discovered in the laboratory, and ifpossible, recollect the sample to mitigate the interference attime of

47、 collection. If resampling is not possible, qualify theresult as necessary.9.
