Radial viewing of the plasma may be used if it can be shown that the limit of quantification for arsenic is below the required legal limit values. The use of axial orientation of the v

34、iewing optics requires good control of the matrix effects coming from “easily ionisable elements“ (i.e. the influence of easily ionisable elements in varying concentrations on the signal intensities of the analytes). For alkali-elements, this can be achieved by adding caesium-chloride solution (CsCl

35、). In general, matrix matching of calibration solutions or calibration by standard additions with several calibration standards will correct accurately for these matrix effects. Spike recovery of one known standard combined with external calibration can, if used properly, also correct sufficiently f

36、or matrix effects (see 8.1). Correction by internal standardisation is also a good option, but the accuracy of the measurements after internal standard correction should be validated properly prior to use on unknown fertilizer samples. 7.4 Dilutor.

Whatman 589/21)or equivalent quality. 8 Procedure 8.1 General Calibrations by standard additions with several standards 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 effec

39、ts). Additive matrix effects (i.e. spectral interferences) are not corrected for with standard additions calibration. 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

40、 several standards is the requirement for a calibration function for each sample type, which is a time consuming process. 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 rout

41、ine fertilizer laboratories. Correction by internal standardisation is also a good option, but the accuracy of the measurements after internal standard correction should be validated properly prior to use on unknown fertilizer samples. It is therefore suggested that calibrations are to be performed

42、by means of external calibration 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

43、cannot be easily imitated 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 ra

44、nge after the spike and the added spike corresponds to at least a doubling of the analyte concentration. Many matrix errors can be compensated for by this procedure, if they are not additive (e.g. spectral interferences). Aliquots of the sample solution are analysed by the means of external calibrat

45、ion and then one aliquot is spiked with known concentrations of the analytes without changing the matrix of the sample solution. The calculated spike recovery is then used to correct the concentration calculated from the external calibration function. The concentration of the spikes shall be in the

46、linear working range of the ICP-AES. 8.2 Preparation of the test solution 8.2.1 General The following extraction procedure leads, in most cases for mineral fertilizers, to trace element results which correspond to the total contents of these elements. Calibration with several standard additions and

47、external calibration after matrix matching or by correction for matrix effects with internal standardization may also be used. 8.2.2 Preparation 8.2.2.1 Weigh (3 0,003) g of the prepared sample and transfer to a suitable reaction vessel (action 1). 8.2.2.2 Moisten the sample with about 0,5 ml to 1,0

48、 ml of water (6.1) and add, whilst mixing (21 0,1) ml of hydrochloric acid (6.2) followed by (7 0,1) ml of nitric acid (6.3) drop by drop if necessary to reduce foaming. Connect a condenser to the reaction vessel and let the mixture stand at room temperature until any effervescence almost ceases to

49、allow for slow oxidation of any organic mass in the sample (action 2). 8.2.2.3 Transfer to the heating device and raise the temperature of the reaction mixture slowly to reflux conditions. Maintain for 2 h, ensuring that the condensation zone is lower than 1/3 of the height of the condenser, then allow to cool. Rinse the condenser further with 10 ml of water (6.1) (action 3). 1) Whatman 589/2is an example of a suitable product available commercially.
