The concentration of mercury in the extract is measured by (cold) vapour generation (VG) coupled to a suitable detector, such as an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) or an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrom

28、eter (ICP-AES). 5 Sampling and sample preparation Sampling is not part of the methods specified in this European Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 6 Reagents Use only reagents of recognised analytical

29、grade. Commercially available stock solutions shall be replaced according to the specifications from the supplier or after one year if prepared in the laboratory from available salts. Standard solutions shall be renewed monthly as a general rule. 6.1 Water, conforming to grade 2 of EN ISO 3696. 6.2

30、Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) = 12 mol/l; 37 % volume fraction; 1,18 g/ml. 6.3 Nitric acid, c(HNO3) = 16 mol/l; not less than 65 % volume fraction, 1,42 g/ml.

Mix 150 ml of hydrochloric acid (6.2) and 50 ml nitric acid (6.3) to 1,0 l of water (6.1). 6.5 Standard stock solution, mercury standard stock solution, e.g.

32、 = 1 000 mg/l. Use suitable stock solutions. Single-element stock solutions with adequate specification stating the acid used and the preparation technique are commercially available. It is recommended to use commercially available standard stock solutions for mercury. 6.6 Working standard solutions

33、. Depending on the scope, different working standard solutions may be necessary. In general, the stability of mercury working standard solutions should be checked. 6.6.1 Working standard solution I, = 10 mg/l for mercury. Dilute 1,00 ml of the standard stock solution for mercury (6.5) to 100,0 ml wi

34、th the mixed acid solution (6.4). This solution is used to prepare 200 g/l mercury working standard solution. 6.6.2 Working standard solution II, = 200 g/l for mercury. Dilute 2,00 ml of the 10 mg/l mercury working standard solution I (6.6.1) to 100,0 ml with the mixed acid solution (6.4). This solu

35、tion is used to prepare spiked test solutions and calibration solutions. 6.7 Reducing agents. 6.7.1 General. Tin(II) chloride or sodium borohydride may be used as the reducing agent, but it is not advisable to use the two reagents alternately. Observe the instructions of the manufacturers of the app

36、aratus. The concentration by mass of the reducing agent solutions may be varied to suit the system, and the relevant information provided by the manufacturer of the apparatus shall be observed. 6.7.2 Tin(II) chloride solution, (SnCl22H2O) = 100 g/l. Dissolve 50 g of tin(II) chloride in approximately

37、 100 ml of hydrochloric acid (6.2) in a 500 ml volumetric flask and dilute to the mark. Prepare a fresh solution daily. 6.7.3 Sodium borohydride solution, e.g. = 2 g/l. Dissolve 2 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in water, add 2 g of sodium borohydride and dilute to 1 000 ml with water (6.1). Prepare a

38、 fresh solution daily and, when necessary, filter before use. When the analysis procedure is of a longer time, it is recommended to cool the sodium borohydride solution (i.e. with ice around the flask) during its use in the vapour generation ICP-AES or AAS measurement. WARNING It is essential to obs

39、erve the safety instructions for working with sodium borohydride. Sodium borohydride forms hydrogen with acids and this can result in an explosive air/hydrogen mixture. A permanent extraction system shall be provided at the point where measurements are carried out. 7 Apparatus 7.1 Common laboratory

40、glassware. 7.2 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 1 mg.

41、 coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, with axial or radial viewing of the plasma and with suitable background correction. The settings of the working conditions (e.g. gas flows, RF or plasma power, sample uptake rate, integration time, number of replicates) shall be optimised according the m

42、anufacturers instructions. Radial viewing of the plasma may be used if it can be shown that the limit of quantification for mercury is below the required legal limit value. 7.4 Atomic absorption spectrometer, equipped with a heated quartz cuvette or a mercury absorption cell, or optionally with an a

43、malgamation system. 7.5 Vapour generation equipment. 7.5.1 Continuous flow or flow-injection cold-vapour system. 7.5.2 Element-specific lamp for mercury. 7.6 Dilutor. Instrument used for automated volumetric dilutions or other appropriate equipment (e.g. pipettes and volumetric glassware) to perform

44、 dilutions. The precision and accuracy of this type of equipment for volumetric dilutions shall be established, and controlled and documented regularly. 7.7 Ash-free filter paper, i.e. Whatman 589/21)or equivalent quality. 8 Procedure 8.1 General Calibrations by standard additions with several stand

45、ards or by matrix matching are very powerful calibration techniques and can be used to accurately correct for matrix effects from easy-ionisable elements (multiplicative matrix effects). Additive matrix effects (i.e. spectral interferences) are not corrected for with standard additions calibration.

46、For matrix matching, additive matrix effects will be corrected for when the added matrix is the cause of the matrix effect. The main drawback of calibration by standard addition with several standards is the requirement for a calibration function for each sample type, which is a time consuming proce

47、ss. For matrix matching, a profound knowledge of the sample matrix is needed, which is not always necessarily available. These two techniques may thus not be practical to use in routine fertilizer laboratories. It is therefore suggested that calibrations are to be performed by means of external cali

48、bration and correction of matrix effects by addition of one known spike of a standard solution (spike recovery). The method of external calibration and correction for spike recovery allows for the analysis of fertilizers with unknown matrix composition or with a matrix that cannot be easily imitated

49、 synthetically. This calibration technique may not be as precise as calibration by standard additions with several standards but the increased uncertainty is small compared to the total uncertainty of the method, if the total analyte concentration is in the linear working range after the spike and the added spike corresponds to at
