9、 copper cathode designated Cu-CATH-1, each method being published as a separate Part. The methods are based on those previously issued in the Draft for Development series DD95-1 to DD95-7. The information and experience gained from the practical application of DD95 have been taken into account in th

10、e methods in BS7317.This Part of BS7317 supersedes DD95-2:1984, which is withdrawn. It is one of a series of methods in BS7317, the others being as follows: Part 1: Method for determination of cadmium, manganese and silver (screening procedure for chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc) by atomic a

11、bsorption spectrophotometry; Part 3: Method for determination of antimony, arsenic, bismuth, selenium, tellurium and tin by hydride generation and atomic absorption spectrophotometry; Part 4: Method for determination of antimony, arsenic, bismuth, lead, selenium, tellurium and tin by electrothermal

13、on and atomic absorption spectrophotometry.The atomic absorption spectrophotometric procedures in Parts1 and2 are complementary. A sample solution concentration found to be satisfactory for nebulizers in standard atomic absorptiometers was20g/L. At this concentration the precision obtainable, using

14、the method described in Part1, is only sufficient to allow the determination of cadmium, manganese and silver. Results would be obtained for chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc that would prove useful in detecting impurities grossly in excess of the requirements for chemical compositions specifi

15、ed in BS6017 for Cu-CATH-1 and would give a guide to the levels to be determined by this Part.The discrete volume nebulization procedure in this Part was developed to enable a high equivalent sample solution concentration of100g/L to be used without nebulizer blockage. The method involves no chemica

16、l separation, which can give rise to contamination problems, and the extra sensitivity obtained enables the impurities to be determined to an adequate accuracy for the requirements for chemical composition specified in BS6017 for Cu-CATH-1.Parts1 and2 essentially cover the same impurities. Part4 cov

17、ers the electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrophotometric method and is recommended where the facility is available. Parts1,2,3 and7 are included for use where the electrothermal atomization equipment is not available.A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary pro

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS7317-2:1990 BSI 01-2000 11 ScopeThis Part of BS7317 describes a method for the determination of the a

20、ctual amounts of the impurity elements chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc present in high purity copper cathode (designatedCu-CATH-1), by discrete volume nebulization atomic absorption spectrophotometry.NOTE 1This method is intended to be used for analysis samples prepared by the procedures giv

21、en in BS6017. These samples should be significantly oxygen free. If this method is used for other materials, such as copper wire rod produced from high purity cathodes, where oxygen can be introduced during processing, then low results may be obtained for the chromium and iron contents.NOTE 2The tit

22、les of the publications referred to in this Part of BS7317 are listed on the inside back cover.2 PrincipleThe sample of Cu-CATH-1 is dissolved in the minimum of nitric acid and diluted to volume. The impurity elements are then determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, into which a sma

23、ll volume of the concentrated sample solution is injected by means of a discrete volume nebulization (DVN) system.3 Reagents3.1 GeneralDuring the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical quality or of higher purity and only distilled water, deionized water or water of equivalent purity,

24、that has no detectable levels of the particular elements to be determined.NOTEUnless otherwise stated, all solutions are aqueous solutions.3.2 Nitric acid, 1.42g/mL,50%V/V solution.3.3 Copper1), a certified reference material of a minimum of99.999% copper, containing less than0.54g/g of each of the

25、impurity elements.3.4 Primary calibration solutions, as given in3.4.1 to3.4.5. For these solutions use one of the following.a) Solutions prepared by the following method. Dissolve1.000g of the pure(99.95% minimum) element in20mL of nitric acid solution(3.2), cool to ambient temperature and transfer

26、to a1L volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark and mix well.b) Commercially prepared solutions, where available.3.4.1 Cobalt nitrate solution with1.0 0.0005g/L of cobalt.3.4.2 Chromium nitrate solution with1.0 0.0005g/L of chromium.2)3.4.3 Iron(III) nitrate solution with1.0 0.0005g/L of iron.3.4.4 Nick

27、el nitrate solution with1.0 0.0005g/L of nickel.3.4.5 Zinc nitrate solution with1.0 0.0005g/L of zinc.3.5 Acetone4 Apparatus4.1 Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, incorporating a 10 scale expansion facility and fitted with a burner for use withacetylene/dinitrogen monoxide, acetylene/air or hydrog

28、en/air gas mixtures, and a hollow cathode lamp for each element to be determined.NOTEA pure zinc hollow cathode lamp, rather than acopper-zinc hollow cathode lamp, is necessary, because there is a line overlap with the zinc213.856nm line and the copper213.851nm line, which leads to a high blank read

29、ing.4.2 Discrete volume nebulization accessory, suitable for transferring from204L to2004L aliquots of solution into the nebulizer, spray chamber and burner of the spectrophotometer(4.1).1) For information on the availability of copper of suitable purity, apply to Enquiry Section, BSI, Linford Wood,

30、 Milton Keynes MK146LE enclosing a stamped addressed envelope for reply.2) In order to avoid the difficulty of dissolving metallic chromium, the following procedure for the preparation of the chromium nitrate primary calibration solution is recommended. Weigh2.828g of dried potassium dichromate into

31、 a1L beaker. Dissolve in500mL of water and add20mL of nitric acid( =1.42g/mL). Whilst stirring, add carefully50mL ofhydrogen peroxide(30g/L H2O2 solution). When the reaction has ceased, bring to the boil and boil gently for15min. Cool and transfer to a1L volumetric flask, dilute to the mark and mix

32、well.Figure 1 Accessory for discrete volumenebulizationBS7317-2:19902 BSI 01-2000Commercial accessories are available, but the accessory can easily be made in the laboratory from a standard micro-pipette tip. In the latter case, cut approximately1mm from the end of the tip so that the internal diame

33、ter of the tip is slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the nebulizer capillary tube. Push the tube into the tip by approximately0.5mm, avoiding the formation of a liquid trap that could cause cross-contamination. Mount the tip plus tube vertically on a suitable clip attached to the spectrop

34、hotometer(4.1).NOTEA typical discrete volume nebulization accessory is illustrated in Figure 1.4.3 Laboratory glasswareNOTEIt is recommended that new glassware, dedicated to this specific purpose, is used.5 Procedure5.1 GeneralScrupulously clean all glassware in nitric acid solution(3.2) for16h, rin
