Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide applies to ultrapure water that is thought tocontain low ppt (parts-per

3、-trillion, weight/weight) levels ofanionic contaminants (for example, bromide, chloride, fluoride,nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and sulfate). To minimize carry-overproblems between analyses, it is best to limit the concentrationof any one contaminant to approximately 200 ppt (althoughthis limit is on

8、elp analysts in the semicon-ductor industry. Examples of the usefulness of anion monitor-ing include: (1) determining when ion-exchange resin beds (inwater-purification systems) need to be regenerated, and (2)ensuring that anion levels are low enough to allow the water tobe used for the manufacture

9、of semiconductor devices.4.2 To ensure that the anions are indeed at low-ppt levels, itis recommended to check the conductivity of a subsamplebefore proceeding with Section 5 of this guide. This check doesnot need to be exact; its purpose is simply to let the analystknow if the conductivity is highe

10、r than that of the highest-levelstandard solution being tested. Any high reading signifies thatthe sample, if analyzed, might contaminate the instrument.5. Guidelines5.1 General Considerations:5.1.1 In working with grab samples of ultrapure water,concentrate on controlling contamination, which is th

11、e over-riding challenge when analyzing for anions in UPW. Precau-tions must be taken, including the following. Wear gloves (forexample, nitrile) that do not shed anions. Do not touchanything that might contact the samples. Minimize anioniccontamination in the laboratory air; for example, do not work

12、in the same lab where concentrated mineral acids are beingused or where acid fumes might be brought in by means of theventilation system.5.1.2 Use only fresh, running-from-the-tap UPW wheneverwater is needed.

16、e caution in selecting the IC that will be used forthese analyses. While an entirely new instrument is notmandatory, a unit that has been used for, for example, parts-per-million-level samples often needs extensive clean-up be-fore the anion levels are acceptably low. When utilizing such“used” chrom

17、atographs, replace all tubing with new lengthsand clean the Load/Inject valve thoroughly with fresh, running-from-the-tap UPW; in some cases, the internal parts of thisvalve will need to be replaced with new ones.5.2.2 Use new PEEK (polyether ether ketone) tubing toplumb the instrument.5.2.3 Use a l

18、ow-back-pressure concentrator column forsample loading; install the device such that the sample will beloaded onto the bottom of the concentrator.5.2.4 Use columns with the smallest internal diameterpossible, thereby lowering the amount of sample that must beloaded to achieve a given level of sensit

19、ivity. Install new (fromthe manufacturer) columns to avoid carryover from previousapplications.5.2.5 Keep tubing lengths at a minimum, to decrease dead-volume.5.2.6 Use columns that will give adequate separation of allions of interest and that will provide adequate sensitivity.5.3 Containers for Sta

20、ndards and Samples:5.3.1 Use new, UPW-soaked plastic for example,polystyrene, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that willbleed down to acceptably low background levels.5.3.2 Use ONLY fresh, running-from-the-tap UPW for rins-ing and soaking; never use soap or acid to clean containers, asthey will intr

21、oduce high levels of anionic contamination andmake background reduction extremely difficult (if not impos-sible).5.3.3 Analyze the soaking water from UPW-soaked newbottles to determine if the anion levels are acceptably low. (Notall brands and formulations of a given plastic type are equallyclean. F

22、or example, polystyrene tissue-culture flasks are typi-cally clean enough, but the background levels depend on themanufacturer. Other types of polystyrene containers, such ascoffee cups, are not acceptable).5.3.4 Dedicate standards bottles to specific concentrations.Also, dedicate a bottle to UPW, f

23、or use in making dilutions.5.3.5 When not in use, keep bottles filled (completely) withUPW that has been obtained fresh and running from the tap.5.3.6 After each use, immediately rinse bottles with UPWby emptying and then refilling at least 34 times. Once thecycles have been completed, fill the bott

24、le to the brim withUPW and cap for storage. Rinse the cap, too; while rinsing thebottle, leave the cap filled with UPW. Before capping the bottlefor storage, rinse the cap once more with UPW. In all of theserinsing procedures, use only UPW that has been obtained freshand running from the tap.NOTE 1E

25、arly-eluting organic acids (for example, acetate, formate)will be the most difficult species to eliminate from the background.5.4 Preparation of Standards:5.4.1 Follow the guidelines in 5.3 when selecting,preparing, and storing containers for standards.5.4.2 Prepare all standards by weight, not by v

26、olume.5.4.3 Prepare all low-level standards that is, approximately1 ppb (parts-per-billion, weight/weight) and lower by pouring,since transfer pipets will contaminate.5.4.4 Remake low-level standards (that is, approximately 1ppb and lower) daily.5.4.5 Prepare and analyze the following types of blank

27、s: (1)a sample of the UPW that has been obtained fresh and runningfrom the tap (to test the purity of the UPW used for dilutions),and (2) a standard-preparation blank. (The second type ofblank is a water sample that has been through all the prepara-tion steps needed to prepare any given working stan

28、dard; theonly difference is that an aliquot of UPW is added instead ofthe usual stock standard.) When calibrating the IC, use thesecond type of blank to obtain data points for inclusion in thecalibration curve.5.5 Loading the Concentrator Column:5.5.1 Use loading procedures that minimize contact wit

29、hpotential sources of contamination. The best choices involveonly a single piece of tubing that runs from the sample bottleto the Load/Inject valve of the IC.5.5.2 Do not “store” the aliquot (to be loaded) in a portionof tubing or other device at any time during the process.5.5.3 If the back pressur

30、e is low enough, pull the samplethrough the concentrator column; otherwise, push the aliquotthrough by means of a pressurizable container and inert,ultrapure gas.5.5.4 Follow manufacturers instructions for determiningthe concentrator columns break-through volume (that is, thevolume beyond which furt

31、her concentrating will result in theelution of some of the already trapped anions).NOTE 2Sensitivity of the analysis can be increased by concentratinga larger mass of water sample, as long as the break-through volume of theconcentrator column has not been exceeded.NOTE 3Automated liquid-handling dev

32、ices for delivering precisevolume for pre-concentration technique are acceptable, if such deviceshave been proven not to contaminate the sample.6.
