3、f beryllium in samples of soil, rock, sediment, and fly ash.This test method can be used for purposes such as environ-mental remediation projects where beryllium is a contaminantof concern. It is also useful for characterization of levels ofberyllium in soil at sites where beryllium is in mining orm

4、anufacturing applications, and for determination of back-ground levels of beryllium in soil.1.2 This test method assumes that samples of soil, rock,sediment, or fly ash are collected using appropriate andapplicable ASTM International standard practices.1.3 This test method includes a procedure for e

5、xtraction(dissolution) of beryllium in dilute ammonium bifluoride,followed by analysis of aliquots of the extract solution using aberyllium-specific fluorescent dye.1.4 No detailed operating instructions are provided becauseof differences among various makes and models of suitablefluorometric instru

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.6.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded, or calculated, i

8、n this standard are regarded as theindustry standard. In addition, they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained. The proce-dures used do not consider material variation, purpose forobtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any consider-ations for the users

Summary of Test Method4.1 This standard test method is used to determine theberyllium content of soil, rock, sediment, and fly ash. Samplesare collected in the field u

19、sing procedures described in ASTMInternational standards (see Guide D5730 for listings ofappropriate sample collection standards).A0.5-gram aliquot isextracted using 3 % ammonium bifluoride solution heated at90C for 40 hours. The presence of active fluoride ions (HF bydissociation of ammonium bifluo

20、ride in acidic medium) en-ables dissolution of refractory forms of beryllium, includingsilicates, borosilicates, and oxides. The extraction solutionproduced from each sample is then filtered and an aliquot ofthis extract is added to a pH-adjusted detection solution whichcontains a beryllium-specific

21、 fluorescence reagent. The fluo-rescence of this final solution is then measured on a calibratedfluorometer to quantify the amount of beryllium in the sample.This standard test method is adapted from Test Method D7202.4.2 The limit of quantification of this test method is 0.013milligrams beryllium p

22、er kilogram of sample, based on a0.5-gram sample (1).55. Significance and Use5.1 Exposure to beryllium can cause a potentially fataldisease, and occupational exposure limits for beryllium in airand on surfaces have been established to reduce exposure risksto potentially affected workers (2, 3). Meas

Sampling and analy

24、ticalmethods for beryllium are needed in order to meet thechallenges relating to exposure assessment and risk reduction.Sampling and analysis methods, such as the procedure de-scribed in this test method, are desired in order to facilitatemeasurements of beryllium that can be used as a basis formana

25、gement of remediation projects and protection of humanhealth.5.2 This test method can be used for purposes such asenvironmental remediation projects where beryllium is a con-taminant of concern. It is also useful for characterization oflevels of beryllium in soil at sites where beryllium is in minin

26、gor manufacturing applications, and for determination of back-ground levels of beryllium in soil.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecrit

27、eria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing, sampling, inspection, and so forth. Users of thisstandard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not initself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors;Practice D3740 pro

28、vides a means of evaluating some of those factors.6. Interferences6.1 This test method is highly specific for beryllium. Othersolvated metal ions are either bound by ethylenediaminetet-raacetic acid (EDTA) in the detection solution, or they precipi-tate out due to the high alkalinity of the detectio

29、n solution. Thefluorophore used for detection is highly specific for theberyllium divalent cation (Be+2).6.2 If iron or titanium are present in high excess in thesample (typically above 7 %), the resulting measurementsolution may appear golden-yellow. In this case the solution isleft for two hours o

30、r more for the iron or titanium (or both) toprecipitate. The solution is then re-filtered using the sameprocedure as for filtering the dissolution solution (after thedissolution step), prior to fluorescence measurement.7.
