7、E135.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is dissolved in HCl with the addition of a small amount of HNO3. After evaporation and dehydration, anyinsoluble residue is filtered, treated for the recovery of calcium and magnesium, and added to the main solution. The solution isaspirated into the flam

8、e of the atomic absorption spectrometer. For calcium, a nitrous oxide-acetylene burner is used, formagnesium, an air-acetylene burner is preferred (Note 1). The absorbed energy at the resonance line of the spectrum of calciumor magnesium, or both, is measured by atomic absorption spectrometry and co

31、 pulverized to pass a 150-m sieve (see Test Method E276).NOTE 5To facilitate decomposition, some ores, such as specular hematite, require grinding to pass a 75-m sieve.11. Procedure11.1 Transfer approximately 1.0 g of the sample to a small weighing bottle previously dried at about 150 C. Dry the bot

32、tle andcontents for 1 h at 105 C to 110 C. Cap the bottle and cool to room temperature in a desiccator. Momentarily release the cap toequalize the pressure and weigh the capped bottle and sample to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat the drying and weighing until thereis no further weight loss. loss of mass.

33、 Transfer the sample to a 250-mLbeaker and reweigh the capped bottle to the nearest 0.1 mg.The difference between the two weightsmasses is the weightmass of the sample taken for analysis.11.2 Carry a reagent blank through all steps of the procedure starting with 11.3.11.3 Decomposition of SampleMois

34、ten the sample with a few milliliters of water, add 25 mL of HCl, cover, and digest belowthe boiling point until no further attack is apparent. Add 2 mL of HNO3 and digest for several minutes. Remove the cover andevaporate the solution to dryness. Heat the salts on a hot plate at 105 C to 110 C for

35、15 min.Add 5 mL of HCl, cover the beaker,and warm for several minutes. Add 50 mL of water and warm until soluble salts are in solution.
