EN 14888:2005 (E) 4 Introduction Because flame atomic absorption spectrometry (flame AAS) and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometr

21、y (ICP-OES) are widely used techniques for the determination of cadmium, both are described in this European Standard (as method A and method B respectively). Much of the procedure and many of the reagents are common to both methods. EN 14888:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies two m

22、ethods for the determination of the cadmium content, after extraction with nitric acid, of solid mineral fertilizers and rock phosphates. It is not applicable to organic and organo-mineral fertilizers. It is applicable to the determination of cadmium contents greater than 1 mg/kg. 2 Normative refere

23、nces The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1482, Sampling of solid fertilizers and l

24、iming materials EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 limit of detection smallest measured content from which it is possible to d

25、educe the presence of the analyte with reasonable statistical certainty NOTE The limit of detection is numerically equal to three times the standard deviation of the mean of blank determinations (n 10, where n is the number of measurements). 3.2 limit of quantification lowest content of the analyte

26、which can be measured with reasonable statistical certainty NOTE If both accuracy and precision are constant over a concentration range around the limit of detection, then the limit of quantification is numerically equal to ten times the standard deviation of the mean of blank determinations (n 10,

27、where n is the number of measurements). 4 Principle The cadmium is extracted from the fertilizer by means of a nitric acid digestion. Its concentration is measured either by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (Flame-AAS) (Method A) or by inductively coupled plasmaoptical emission spectrometry (ICP

28、-OES) (Method B). Both methods are relative techniques. Cadmium concentrations are determined by the standard addition method. EN 14888:2005 (E) 6 5 Reagents 5.1 General Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, and water conforming to grade 2 of EN ISO 3696:1995. Stock solutions shall be re

29、placed after a maximum of one year, but the standard solution shall be renewed monthly as a minimum. If a stock solution is prepared directly from a metal, care needs to be taken to ensure that the metal used is free of surface oxide layers. WARNING Cadmium is highly toxic. It is essential that all

30、necessary measures are taken to avoid ingestion. 5.2 Nitric acid, 65 %, approximately 1,42 g/ml 5.3 Diluted nitric acid, diluted to a concentration of about 7 mol/l (1 + 1 volume fraction). Mix 1 volume of nitric acid (5.2) with 1 volume of water. 5.4 Diluted nitric acid, diluted to a concentration

31、of about 4,3 mol/l (1 + 3 volume fraction). Mix 1 volume of nitric acid (5.2) with 3 volumes of water. 5.5 Diluted nitric acid, diluted to a concentration of 2 % (volume fraction). Pipette 20,00 ml nitric acid (5.2) in a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and fill to the mark with water. 5.6 Cadmium stock so

32、lution, corresponding to 1 000 mg/l. Weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg, approximately 1,000 g of metallic cadmium (minimum purity 99,5 %) and dilute in a covered 250 ml glass beaker with 40 ml of nitric acid (5.4). Then add 100 ml of water. Boil to expel nitrous fumes, cool, transfer to a 1 000 ml volumet

33、ric flask and fill to the mark with water. NOTE Cadmium stock solution of 1 000 mg/l is also readily available commercially, and may be used instead. 5.7 Cadmium standard solution, corresponding to 50 mg/l. Pipette 50,00 ml of the cadmium stock solution (5.6) into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and fil

34、l to the mark with the diluted 2 % nitric acid (5.5). EN 14888:2005 (E) 7 5.8 Cadmium standard solution, corresponding to 1 mg/l. Pipette 20,00 ml of the cadmium standard solution (5.7) into a 1 000 ml volumetric flask and fill to the mark with the diluted 2 % nitric acid (5.5). 6 Apparatus 6.1 Gene

35、ral Ordinary laboratory glassware. 6.2 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 0,1 mg. 6.3 Laboratory grinder, capable of grinding to a particle size of less than or equal to 0,5 mm. 6.4 Electric hot plate, with temperature control. 6.5 Flame atomic absorption spectrometer The inst

36、rument shall be equipped with a cadmium source, a background correction system and a burner suitable for an air/acetylene flame. It shall be operated according to the manufacturers instructions. 6.6 Inductively coupled plasma Optical emission spectrometer The instrument shall be equipped with radial

37、 plasma as a minimum requirement; axial plasma is equally acceptable, as long as it can be shown that the results are statistically equal to the results obtained with radial plasma. Background correction shall also be performed. Settings of the working conditions (e.g. viewing height, gas flows, RF

38、or plasma power, sample uptake rate, integration time, number of replicates) shall be optimized according the manufacturers instructions. 7 Sampling and sample preparation 7.1 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482. 7.2 Sample preparation Grind the laboratory sample, using

39、 a grinder or mortar, until a particle size of 0,5 mm or less has been reached, and mix thoroughly for reasons of homogeneity. The grinding shall be done in conditions such that the substance is not appreciably heated. The operation is to be repeated as many times as is necessary and it shall be eff

40、ected as quickly as possible in order to prevent any gain or loss of constituents (water, ammonia). Place the whole ground sample in a flask which can be stoppered. Before any weighing is carried out for the analysis, mix the whole sample thoroughly. EN 14888:2005 (E) 8 7.3 Special cases of grinding

41、 Blended fertilizers: in this case, separation frequently occurs. It is therefore essential to grind to a particle size of 0,2 mm or less. Products, that decompose on heating: grinding shall be carried out in such a way as to avoid any heating. It is preferable in this case to use a mortar for grind

42、ing. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the test solution 8.1.1 Digestion Weigh to the nearest 0,1 mg an amount of test sample between 1 g and 12,5 g depending on the expected cadmium content (as specified in Table 1), into a beaker or reaction vessel. Moisten the sample with a small amount of water. Ad

43、d the appropriate amount of nitric acid (5.3), according to Table 1. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and boil gently for 30 min on a hot plate. In order to maintain the initial volume, add some more water during boiling if necessary. Cool, transfer to an appropriate volumetric flask and fill to

44、the mark with water. After homogenizing, filter through a dry filter into a dry container. Use the first portion of the filtrate to rinse the glassware and discard that part. If the determination is not carried out immediately, the container with the filtrate shall be stoppered. The filtrate will be

45、 used for the preparation of the final test solution as well as for the preparation of the calibration solutions (8.3).

47、of quantification of flame AAS and ICP-OES, that the concentrations fall within their (linear) working area, and that salt concentrations are not too high. EN 14888:2005 (E) 9 8.1.2 Test solution Pipette 50,00 ml of the filtrate of the test portion (8.1.1) into a 100 ml volumetric flask and fill to

48、the mark with the diluted 2 % nitric acid (5.5). 8.2 Preparation of the blank test solution Carry out a blank test at the same time as the extraction, with only the reagents and follow the same procedure as before. 8.3 Preparation of the calibration solutions Calibration shall be performed by means

49、of the standard addition technique. NOTE An (external) calibration curve method can also be used instead of the standard addition method where the analytical results are demonstrated to be statistically equal. Appropriate matrix matching of the calibration solutions shall be performed if an (external) calibration method is used (see Annex B). 8.3.1 Addition 1 Pipette 50,00 ml of the filtrate of the test portion (8.1.1) into a 100 ml volumetric flask, add 2,00 ml of the cadmium standard solution of 1 mg/l (5.8), and fill to the mark with the diluted 2 % nitric acid
