26、Procedure8.1 Testing of Sonicator:8.1.1 Before use, ensure proper operation of the sonicatorby employing the following diagnostic test.8.1.1.1 Turn on the sonicator and allow for a reasonablewarm-up period, as recommended by the instrument manufac-turer.8.1.1.2 Insert the tip of a graphite pencil in

27、to the bath.8.1.1.3 If the sonication device is operating properly, graph-ite in solution will be observed streaming off the tip of thepencil.8.1.2 Alternatively, demonstrate proper operation of thesonicator according to the following procedure:8.1.2.1 Fill the sonicator bath with warm water (ca. 45

28、C) toa level about half-full, and add a small amount (for example,three drops) of surfactant8.1.2.2 Turn on the sonicator for a minimum of 5 min todegas the solution. Turn off the sonicator.8.1.2.3 Place aluminum foil (that is cut to a size conformingto12 to34 of the area of the bottom of the sonica

29、tor bath) onthe bottom of the sonicator bath. Lower the foil at an angle toprevent the trapping of air beneath the foil. Ensure that anarrow layer of solution remains between the foil and thebottom of the sonicator bath. The foil shall be parallel andcentered to the bottom of the sonicator.8.1.2.4 T

30、urn on the sonicator for a period of 45 s.8.1.2.5 Examine the aluminum foil after sonication. The foilshould be observed to contain a myriad of small holes andbumps, and may be torn apart. Also, the perforation observedshould be uniform; that is, all portions of the foil should beobserved to have a

31、high density of holes and perhaps tears. Ifthe foil is not affected in this manner, then the sonicatorperformance is inadequate for the purposes of this practice.8.2 Dry Paint Film Samples:NOTE 4This practice assumes paint samples collected in accordancewith Practice E1729.3The boldface numbers give

32、n in parentheses refer to a list of references at theend of the text.E1979 1228.2.1 Don a pair of gloves.8.2.1.1 If the desired reported lead concentration units are tobe in terms of lead mass per unit area of sample, and theestimated sample mass is greater than or equal to 0.25 g, thenquantitativel

33、y transfer the entire sample to an analytical bal-ance and weigh to the nearest 60.002 g. Under these circum-stances, do quantitative transfer and sample weighing prior togrinding and homogenization as described later in this practice.8.2.1.2 If the desired reporting units of lead concentrationare t

34、o be in terms of lead mass per unit mass of sample, or ifthe desired reporting units are to be in terms of lead mass perunit area and the estimated mass of the sample is less than 0.25g, then quantitatively transfer the sample to a mortar and pestleor a labeled 50 mL centrifuge tube. Use tweezers if

35、 necessaryfor quantitative sample transfer. Clean tweezers before andafter use with laboratory wipes.8.2.2 Sample Grinding and Homogenization:8.2.2.1 Grind and homogenize paint film sample to a finepowder using a mortar and pestle, pug mill, or wigglebug.Quantitatively transfer the ground and homoge

36、nized a paintsample to a weighing vessel or weighing paper (see below).Thoroughly clean mortar and pestle, wigglebug, or pug millwith moistened laboratory wipes prior to and following grind-ing, and then dry.8.2.2.2 Alternatively, place paint film sample in a clean, dry50 mL centrifuge tube, and pla

37、ce the tube in dry ice. Using aplastic or metal rod, grind and homogenize the super-cooled,brittle paint sample to a fine powder. Thoroughly clean rodwith laboratory wipes prior to and following grinding proce-dure. Avoid condensation of water onto the sample by sealingthe sample and allowing it to

38、warm to ambient temperaturebefore weighing.NOTE 5The use of dry ice as described assists greatly in the grindingand homogenization of dry paint film samples.8.2.3 If the total sample mass is greater than or equal to 0.25g, or if the total sample mass is less than 0.25 g and the desiredreported lead

39、concentration is to be in units of mass of lead perunit mass of sample, weigh 0.05 to 0.25 g of ground andhomogenized paint sample to the nearest 60.002 g, and recordthe sample mass.NOTE 6If the desired reporting units are to be in terms of mass of leadper unit area of sample, and the sample mass is

40、 estimated to be less than0.25 g, a larger sample may be collected in order to obtain more mass(thereby enabling the sample to be treated as described in 8.2.1.1).8.2.4 If the total sample mass is less than 0.25 g and thedesired reported lead concentration is to be in terms of mass oflead per unit a

41、rea of collected sample, then the sample need notbe weighed. However, the entire ground and homogenizedsample must be placed in the tube for extraction as describedbelow.8.2.5 Place the sample in a clean, dry, labeled 50 mLpolypropylene centrifuge tube. To ensure quantitative sampletransfer, rinse m

42、aterials used for transferring samples with aminimum of dilute (5 %) nitric acid, and direct the rinsate intothe centrifuge tube.8.2.6 Using a class A pipet, introduce 5 mL of 25 % HNO3to the centrifuge tube containing the ground and homogenizedpaint sample. Shake the centrifuge tube briefly to ensu

43、re thatno solid paint material remains stuck to the bottom of the tube.Rinse the inside of the centrifuge tube with a minimumquantity of 5 % HNO3in order to ensure immersion of all solidmaterial.8.2.7 Cap the centrifuge tube, and place in an uprightposition in the sonicator bath.8.2.8 Ensure that th

44、e bath of the sonicator contains enoughwater so that the water level is at least 2.5 cm above the levelof liquid within the centrifuge tube.8.2.9 Repeat steps 8.2.1-8.2.8 as needed, depending on thesize of the ultrasonic bath and the number of samples.NOTE 7Depending on the size of the sonicator, ma

45、ny centrifuge tubesmay be immersed in the bath at one time. A custom rack for the centrifugetubes may be purchased or constructed to allow for the regular and orderlyplacement of multiple tubes in the sonicator bath.8.2.10 Apply ultrasonic energy to the crushed and acidifiedsamples within the immers

46、ed centrifuge tubes for at least 30min.8.2.11 Remove centrifuge tubes from the bath. Keep tubesin upright position.8.2.12 Remove caps from centrifuge tubes that containsamples that were subjected to ultrasonic agitation, and diluteacidified extracts to the 50 mL mark with ASTM Type I water.8.2.13 Re

47、-cap and then shake the tubes for 5 to 10 s, andallow the contents to settle. The samples are now ready foranalysis for lead content.NOTE 8The sample solutions may require filtration or centrifugationprior to analysis.8.3 Settled Dust Wipe Samples:NOTE 9This procedure assumes dust wipe samples were

48、collected inaccordance with Practice E1728 using wipes that conform to SpecificationE1792.8.3.1 Don a pair of gloves.8.3.2 If not already placed in a labeled 50 mL centrifugetube, remove the wipe sample from the sample container witha pair of clean tweezers, and place it in a labeled clean and dry50

49、 mL centrifuge tube. Shove the wipe to the bottom of thetube with a clean glass or plastic rod. Rinse the original samplecontainer (if applicable), tweezers and rod with a minimum ofdilute (5 %) nitric acid to ensure quantitative sample transfer;make sure that the rinsate falls into the centrifuge tube. Cleantweezers and rods before and after use with laboratory wipes.8.3.3 Using a class A pipet, introduce 15 mL of 25 % HNO3to the centrifuge tube containing the wipe sample, and cap thetube. If needed, add more diluted 25 % HNO3in 5 mL aliquotsto ensure that the w
