BS EN 15517:2008EN 15517:2008 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a procedure for the determination of hydrochloric acid (gastric acid concentration) extractable inorganic arsenic in seaweed. Collaborative studies have been carried out (Annex A). The method is suitable for the determin

17、ation of inorganic arsenic not less than 1 mg/kg and below 100 mg/kg on a dry weight basis. The amount of inorganic arsenic is considered to be that part determined by the procedure described in this document. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applic

19、tion 3 Principle Arsenic compounds are extracted from the sample by diluted hydrochloric acid (in accordance with EN 71-3 5) and the arsenic in the extract is determined by hydride generation AAS. In acidic media inorganic compounds of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) as well as the monomethylarsonic aci

20、d (MMA) and dimethylarsinic (cacodylic) acid (DMA) form a volatile hydride with sodium borohydride. There is no reaction of the stable organic arsenic compounds like arsenosugar, arseno-betaine and arseno-choline under these conditions. The gaseous hydride is transferred into a heated measuring cell

21、 (cuvette) by means of a carrier gas stream and decomposed. The absorption at 193,7 nm (arsenic line) serves as a measure of arsenic concentration. The hydride signal sensitivity of DMA reaches generally low rates as compared to As(III). The contribution of MMA in the hydride signal can be neglected

22、, since MMA occurs in seaweed only in small amounts. The hydride generation AAS in combination with this hydrochloric acid extraction may be used as nearly selective method of determination for inorganic arsenic. Generation of arsine from As(III) is much faster and gives greater sensitivity than gen

23、eration from As(V) and is also less subject to interference. Arsenic(V) shall be reduced to arsenic(III) (pre-reduction) in order to avoid incorrect measurements. BS EN 15517:2008EN 15517:2008 (E) 5 4 Reagents 4.1 General The concentration of arsenic in the reagents and water used shall be low enoug

24、h not to affect the results of the determination. 4.2 Hydrochloric acid, mass fraction w = 30 %, mass concentration (HCl) = 1,15 g/ml. 4.3 Hydrochloric acid solution, substance concentration c = (0,07 0,005) mol/l. 4.4 Hydrochloric acid, approximately c = 2 mol/l. 4.5 Sodium borohydride, w 96 % 4.6

25、Sodium hydroxide, w 98 % 4.7 Sodium borohydride solution, e.g. substance concentration c = 2 g/l (example for using the flow injection procedure described under 6.2.1 (b). Dissolve 2 g of sodium hydroxide pellets in water, add 2 g of sodium borohydride and dilute to 1 000 ml with water. A fresh solu

26、tion shall be prepared daily and filtered before use. The concentration by mass of the sodium borohydride solution may vary with the system and the instructions of the relevant manufacturer shall therefore be observed. 4.8 Diluted hydrochloric acid, e.g. mass fraction w 3 % (carrier solution, only f

27、or use in the flow injection procedure). Dilute approximately 90 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) to 1 000 ml with water. The concentration by mass of the carrier solution may vary with the system and the instructions of the relevant manufacturer shall therefore be observed. 4.9 L-Ascorbic acid, w(C6H8

Prepare a fresh solution daily. The concentrations of the potassium iodide and ascorbic acid may vary slightly with the

29、 system and the instructions of the relevant manufacturer shall therefore be observed. 4.12 Diarsenic trioxide (As2O3), w(As2O3) 99,5 % 4.13 Arsenic stock solution, with an arsenic mass concentration of 1000 mg/l. If commercial stock solutions are not available, proceed as follows: dissolve 1,320 g

30、of diarsenic trioxide BS EN 15517:2008EN 15517:2008 (E) 6 (4.12) in 25 ml of potassium hydroxide solution ( = 20 g/100 ml), neutralize with 20 % (mass fraction) sulfuric acid with phenolphthalein as indicator and dilute to 1 000 ml with 1 % (mass fraction) sulfuric acid. 4.14 Arsenic standard soluti

31、ons Dilute the arsenic stock solution (4.13) in several steps. The arsenic standard solutions shall contain an adequate amount of hydrochloric acid, e.g. 2 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) per 100 ml. Example of a dilution series: 1000 mg/l 100/550 mg/l 50/55 mg/l 50/10,1 mg/l A standard solution of 5

32、mg/l arsenic in 0,6 % (mass fraction) hydrochloric acid is stable for at least one week. 4.15 Arsenic calibration solutions Prepare five calibration solutions in the required calibration range from the standard solution of 0,1 mg/l (4.14), ensuring that the concentrations of the calibration solution

33、s are not outside the linear range of the calibration function and are also in the expected sample content range. The concentration of acid in the calibration solutions shall be equal to that in the sample solution. Example for the 1 g/l to 10 g/l range: 0,1 mg/l 100/11 g/l 100/33 g/l 100/55 g/l 100

34、/88 g/l 100/1010 g/l The calibration solutions may also be prepared from the appropriately diluted standard solution in the measurement vessel itself by adding the reagents for the pre-reduction (see 6.1.3). Prepare fresh calibration solutions daily. The following procedure is recommended for the pr

35、eparation of standard and calibration solutions: pour some water into the volumetric flask and add the requisite amount of acid. After cooling to room temperature, add the stock or standard solution using a pipette and dilute to the mark with water. 4.16 Zero member compensation solution, containing

36、 water and acid in a concentration equal to that in the sample solution. 5 Apparatus and equipment 5.1 General To minimise the contamination, all apparatus that come into direct contact with the sample and the solutions shall be carefully pre-treated according to EN 13804.

38、tant to hydrochloric acid (4.4). Membranes of polyester or nylon have been proven suitable. 5.6 Indicator paper 5.7 Device for thermostating, at approximately 37 C. 5.8 Stirrer or shaking machine 6 Procedure 6.1 Sample preparation 6.1.1 General It is possible that extracted arsenic compounds are dec

39、omposed to inorganic arsenic, even when stored in a refrigerator. Therefore, determination by hydride generation AAS should be conducted as soon as possible, latest within one week. 6.1.2 Hydrochloric acid extraction In imitation of EN 71-3 the well homogenized sample is weighed (minimum weighed por

40、tion 0,2 g) into a vessel, which is suitable for the extraction and allows sufficient agitation motion. The ratio of weighed portion to extracting agent (extractant) shall be 1:50 (1 part + 49 parts). Add the appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid solution (4.3) of approximately 37 C to the sample

41、and mix for 1 min. Transfer one drop of this mixture onto indicator paper. If the pH is more than 1,5, add dropwise hydrochloric acid (4.4) while stirring until the pH value lies between 1,0 and 1,5. Continuously agitate (by stirring or shaking) the suspension at a temperature of approximately 37 C

42、for 1 h and then allow it to stand for 1 h at approximately 37 C. Immediately afterwards solids shall be separated from the solution. First centrifuge for 10 min and then filter through a syringe filter (5.5). The extract shall be free of particles. The concentration of arsenic in the solution shoul

43、d be measured by hydride generation AAS as soon as possible. The extraction solution is stored in a suitable vessel in a refrigerator until measurement. 6.1.3 Pre-reduction Depending on the hydride system used, it may be necessary to use larger or smaller volumes than described below. The ratios spe

44、cified shall, however, be maintained. Introduce and thoroughly mix 2 ml of calibration solution (4.15) and 2 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) into the measurement vessel of the hydride system. Then add 1 ml of potassium iodide/ascorbic acid solution (4.11) and again mix thoroughly. After leaving for 45

45、 min at room temperature in an open vessel, dilute to 10 ml with water and mix thoroughly to obtain a solution ready for measuring. If the calibration solution is prepared in the measurement vessel itself, use the appropriate quantity of standard solution and dilute to 2 ml with the zero member comp

46、ensation solution (4.16), then proceed as described above. Treat the zero member compensation and the sample solutions in the same way. Up to 2 ml hydrochloric acid extract according to 6.1.2 are used for the pre-reduction. If necessary, the dilutions are made with zero member compensation solution

47、(4.16) prior to the pre-reduction. Compensate using less than 2 ml of sample solution by adding the appropriate amount of zero member compensation solution (4.16). BS EN 15517:2008EN 15517:2008 (E) 8 The acid and reducing-agent concentrations shall be the same in all the test solutions. Only seal th

48、e measurement vessels after diluting with water for the final mixing. Do not analyse yellow-coloured solutions as they give incorrect results (too low or too high). To avoid problems in the pre-reduction, do not pipette more than 20 solutions in one series. IMPORTANT The proportion of the inorganic

49、arsenic can be up to 90 % of the total arsenic content in the sample. It has been proven convenient to determine first the total arsenic content of the sample in order to use an appropriate dilution of the hydrochloric acid extract for the pre-reduction. Since the measurement solution may foam in the hydride system, take care when using non-diluted hydrochloric acid extracts for pre-reduction! 6.2 Atomic absorption spectrometry (hydride generation AAS) 6.2.1 Working conditions for AAS
