11、.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Prior to analysis, treat the sample to remove potentialinterferences (Sections 4 and 8). Ultraviolet (UV) digestionreleases cyanide from cyanide complexes. Acid addition con-verts cyanide ion to hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN), whichpasses under a gas diffusion membrane. The

12、 hydrogen cyanidegas diffuses through the membrane into an alkaline receivingsolution, where it converts back to cyanide ion.

16、 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 wastewaters and surfacewaters.45.2 This test method is applicable for natural water, salinewaters, and was

17、tewater effluent.5.3 The method may be used for process control in waste-water treatment facilities.5.4 The spot test outlined in Test Methods D2036, AnnexA1 can be used to detect cyanide and thiocyanate in water orwastewater, and to approximate its concentration.6. Interferences6.1 Method interfere

18、nces can be caused by contaminants inthe reagents, reagent water, glassware, etc., which may bias theresults. Take care to keep all such items free of contaminants.6.2 Sulfide and sulfide-containing compounds are positiveinterferents in this method. When acidified, sulfide formshydrogen sulfide, whi

19、ch passes through the gas diffusionmembrane and produces a signal at the silver electrode. Inaddition, sulfide ion reacts with cyanide ion in solution toreduce its concentration over time. Treat samples containingsulfide according to Section 11.4. During UV digestion, somesulfur compounds may produc

20、e sulfide. TA2 reagent contains asulfide scrubber that can remove up to 50 mg/L S2-from thesystem prior to amperometric detection.6.3 Treat sample containing water-soluble aldehydes, suchas formaldehyde or acetaldehyde, by adding ethylenediaminesolution.6.4 Remove oxidizing agents that decompose cya

21、nides byadding ascorbic acid, or sodium arsenite.6.5 Thiocyanate can produce positive interference whenthey decompose to cyanide by UV irradiation or oxidation.This method uses 312 nm as the irradiation wavelength, whichkeeps thiocyanate interference from UV irradiation minimal.Use of Total Acid Rea

22、gentModified, TA1M (see 8.21) mini-mizes interference from thiocyanate.6.6 High concentrations of carbonate can result in a nega-tive response in the amperometric detector when carbondioxide diffuses across the gas diffusion membrane into thealkaline receiving solution, reducing its pH. Treat efflue

23、ntsfrom high carbonate containing wastes, such as coal gasifica-tion waste and atmospheric emission scrub water, with hy-drated lime to stabilize the sample.6.7 High concentrations of surfactants interfere by changingthe characteristics of the gas diffusion membrane, allowingacid solution to pass th

24、rough the membrane and enter thedetector.6.8 Nitrate and nitrite if treated with sulfamic acid do notinterfere in this method.6.9 Sodium sulfite, sulfur dioxide, or sodium bisulfite do notinterfere at up to 2000 ppm SO3-.6.10 Sodium Thiosulfate exhibits a slight positive bias atconcentrations above

25、200 ppm. This positive bias may beremoved by increasing the amount of Bismuth Nitrate in theTA2 reagent.6.11 Samples containing particulates should be filtered priorto analysis. Extract and combine filtered extract with originalsample prior to analysis, or measure the filtered extract and theaqueous

26、 sample separately and combine results mathemati-cally.7.
