Thispractice s

Significance and Use5.1 Accurate elemental analysis of petroleum products andlubricants is necessary for the determination of chemicalproperties, which are used to establish compliance

34、 with com-mercial and regulatory specifications.5.2 Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is one of themost widely used analytical techniques in the oil industry forelemental analysis. There are at least twelve Standard TestMethods published by ASTM D02 Committee on PetroleumProducts and Lubricants f

35、or such analysis. See Table 1.5.3 The advantage of using an AAS analysis include goodsensitivity for most metals, relative freedom from interfer-ences, and ability to calibrate the instrument based on elemen-tal standards irrespective of their elemental chemical forms.Thus, the technique has been a

36、method of choice in most of theoil industry laboratories. In many laboratories, AAS has beensuperseded by a superior ICP-AES technique (see PracticeD7260).5.4 Some of the ASTM AAS Standard Test Methods havealso been issued by other standard writing bodies as technicallyequivalent standards. See Tabl

37、e 2.6. Interferences6.1 Although over 70 elements can be determined by AASusually with a precision of 1-3 % and with detection limits ofthe order of sub-mg/kg levels, and with little or no atomicspectral interference. However, there are several types ofinterferences possible: chemical, ionization, m

38、atrix, emission,spectral, and background absorption interferences. Since theseinterferences are well-defined, it is easy to eliminate orcompensate for them. See Table 3.6.1.1 Chemical InterferencesIf the sample for analysiscontains a thermally stable compound with the analyte that isnot totally deco

39、mposed by the energy of the flame, a chemicalinterference exists. They can normally be overcome or con-trolled by using a higher temperature flame or addition of areleasing agent to the sample and standard solutions.6.1.2 Ionization InterferencesWhen the flame has enoughenergy to cause the removal o

40、f an electron from the atom,creating an ion, ionization interference can occur. They can becontrolled by addition of an excess of an easily ionized elementto both samples and standards. Normally alkali metals whichhave very low ionization potentials are used.6.1.3 Matrix InterferencesThese can cause

41、 either a sup-pression or enhancement of the analyte signal. Matrix interfer-ences occur when the physical characteristics viscosity,burning characteristics, surface tension of the sample andstandard differ considerably. To compensate for the matrixinterferences, the matrix components in the sample

42、and stan-dard should be matched as closely as possible. Matrix inter-ferences can also be controlled by diluting the sample solutionuntil the effect of dissolved salts or acids is negligible.Sometimes, the method of standard addition is used to over-come this interference. See 6.2.6.1.4 Emission Int

43、erferencesAt high analyte concentra-tions, the atomic absorption analysis for highly emissiveelements sometimes exhibits poor analytical precision, if theemission signal falls within the spectral bandpass being used.This interference can be compensated for by decreasing the slitwidth, increasing the

44、 lamp current, diluting the sample, and / orusing a cooler flame.6.1.5 Spectral InterferencesWhen an absorbing wave-length of an element present in the sample but not beingdetermined falls within the bandwidth of the absorption line ofthe element of interest a spectral interference can occur. Aninte

45、rference by other atoms can occur when there is a sufficientoverlapping between radiation and emitted by the excitedatoms and other absorbing atoms. Usually the bandwidth ismuch wider than the width of the emission and absorptionlines. Thus, interferences by other atoms are fortunately quitelimited

46、inAAS. The interference can result in erroneously highresults. This can be overcome by using a smaller slit orselecting an alternate wavelength.6.1.6 Background Absorption InterferencesThere are twocauses of background absorption: light scattering by particlesin the flame and molecular absorption of

47、 light from the lamp bymolecules in the flame. This interference cannot be correctedwith standard addition method. The most common way tocompensate for background absorption is to use a backgroundcorrector which utilizes a continuum source.6.2 Standard Addition MethodOne way of dealing withsome of t

48、he interferences in the AAS methods is to use atechnique called standard addition. IUPAC rule defines thistechnique as “Analyte Addition Method,” however, the phrase“standard addition method” is well known and is widely usedby the practitioners of AAS; hence, there is no need to adoptthe IUPAC rule.

49、 This technique takes longer time than thedirect analysis, but when only a few samples need to beanalyzed, or when the samples differ from each other in thematrix, or when the samples suffer from unidentified matrixTABLE 1 Applications of AAS for Metal Analysis of Petroleum Products and LubricantsASTM Test Method Matrix Elements DeterminedD1318 Residual Fuel Oil SodiumD3237 Gasoline LeadD3340 Greases Lithium and SodiumD3605 Gas Turbine Fuels Calcium, Lead, Sodium, and VanadiumD3831 Gasoline ManganeseD4628 Automotive Lubricants Barium, Calci
