19、 A items as specified in SANS 111, SANS 112, SANS 115 and SANS 128, as relevant. Amdt 1 6 Procedure 6.1 Instrument operation NOTE The differences between makes and models of atomic absorption spectrophotometers make it impracticable to formulate detailed operating instructions. Follow the manufactur

20、ers operating instructions for the specific instrument but, in general, proceed in accordance with the instructions given in 6.1.1 to 6.1.7 6.1.1 Turn on the instrument, install the mercury hollow-cathode lamp (see 5.2) and apply the current recommended by the manufacturer. 6.1.2 Set the wavelength

21、at 253,6 nm and set the slit width in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 6.1.3 Allow the lamp to stabilize for approximately 10 min and then align it to obtain optimum transmission. 6.1.4 Adjust the fine control of the wavelength setting of the monochromator in order to ensure maximum r

22、esponse. 6.1.5 Place the atomizing tube in position in the light path, i.e. on top of a support, holding it in position with Terry clips. 6.1.6 Connect the outlet of the vapour generator cell (see 5.5) to one end of the drying tube (see 5.4), which contains about 20 g of magnesium perchlorate, and u

23、se flexible tubing to connect the other end of the drying tube to the inlet of the atomizing tube. SANS 6059:2010 Edition 2.1 4 6.1.7 Connect the inlet at the bottom of the generator cell to a nitrogen source via a flowmeter (rotameter (see 5.7) and set the nitrogen flow at 450 mL/min. 6.1.8 Connect

24、 the recorder to the spectrophotometer. 6.2 Preparation of standards 6.2.1 Prepare a series of mercury standards by transferring 1 mL; 2 mL; 5 mL; 10 mL, etc. of the standard working solution (i.e. 0,1 g; 0,2 g; 0,5 g; 1,0 g, etc. of mercury) to separate 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks and adding 100 mL of

25、 water to each. 6.2.2 To each flask add 5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid (see 4.11) and 2,5 mL of concentrated nitric acid (see 4.3). 6.2.3 To each flask add 15 mL of the potassium permanganate solution (see 4.6) and allow to stand for at least 15 min. 6.2.4 To each flask add 8 mL of the potassium

26、 persulfate solution (see 4.7) and heat over a boiling waterbath for 2 h. 6.2.5 Cool to room temperature and add 6 mL of the sodium chloride-hydroxylamine sulfate solution (see 4.8) to reduce the excess permanganate. 6.2.6 Transfer to 200 mL volumetric flasks and make up to the mark with water. 6.3

27、Preparation of test sample Take 100 mL of the sample, or a smaller aliquot that has been diluted to 100 mL, transfer to a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and proceed with the operations described in 6.2.2 to 6.2.6. 6.4 Analysis of test sample 6.4.1 Place 1 mL of the stannous chloride solution (see 4.10) in

28、 the vapour generator cell. Turn the 3-way stopcock at the bottom of the cell to allow the nitrogen gas (see 4.5) to flow through the cell. Suck up 10 mL of the test sample in the syringe (see 5.6) which is fitted with a large-bore needle. Provide the syringe with a rubber collar so as to make a gas

29、-tight joint and place it in the top opening of the generator cell. After the instrument has stabilized at zero, inject the test specimen as rapidly as possible into the generator cell. If mercury is present in the liquid, a reading will be obtained on the recorder. Allow at least 30 s for the maxim

30、um reading to be obtained. 6.4.2 When the recorder has again returned to zero, turn the 3-way tap to allow the solution to discharge to waste from the generator cell. Rinse the generator cell with water before proceeding with the standard solutions as in 6.4.3. 6.4.3 Treat the prepared standards (se

31、e 6.2) in the same way and plot a calibration curve of peak height against mass, in micrograms, of mercury. 6.4.4 From the calibration curve read off the quantity of mercury in the test sample. SANS 6059:2010 Edition 2.1 5 7 Calculation Calculate the mercury content c Hg in milligrams per litre, as

32、follows: c Hg = Vmwhere m is the mass of mercury in the sample aliquot, in micrograms; V is the volume of the sample aliquot, in millilitres. 8 Expression of results So express the results as to indicate the form of metal analysed and the concentration units used, for example “Total mercury as Hg in
