8、 12980:2000(E) iv ISO 2000 All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each me

9、mber body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International E

10、lectrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for vot

11、ing. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying

12、any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 12980 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 47, Chemistry, Subcommittee SC 7, Aluminium oxide, cryolite, aluminium fluoride, sodium fluoride, carbonaceous products for the aluminium industry.ISO 12980:2000(E) ISO 2000 All rights reserved

13、 v Introduction The determination of the elemental impurities is important for reasons of metal quality and anode consumption. This International Standard refers only to petroleum coke although the principles described are valid for pitch, anthracite, graphite or electrode materials. As the sample p

ISO 6375, Carbonaceous materials for the production of aluminium Coke for electrodes Sampling. 3P r i n c i p l e A pressed tablet of pulverized coke and organic binder is irradiated by X-rays from a target thin wi

19、ndow X-ray tube. The X-ray tubes can be chromium, rhodium or scandium depending on which elements are to be determined. Irradiation of the test specimen causes ejection and rearrangement of orbital electrons resulting in the emission of secondary radiation with a characteristic wavelength for each e

20、lement. This secondary radiation is reflected, onto the detector system, by a crystal, which is set at a specific angle to the secondary radiation. Only specific radiation which obeys Braggs law reaches the detector system. n =2 d sin (1) where n is the order of the diffraction; is the X-ray wavelen

21、gth; d is the interplanar distance in the crystal; sin is the angle setting of the crystal. The intensities of the specific secondary radiation are calculated into mass fractions according to given calibration curves.ISO 12980:2000(E) 2 ISO 2000 All rights reserved 4 Apparatus and materials 4.1 X-ra

22、y fluorescence spectrometer, equipped with the following crystals: LiF 200 (lithium fluoride, reflecting plane 200), PE (pentaerythiol), PX1 (synthetic W-Si), Ge, TIAP (thallium acid phthalate) and LSM (layered synthetic microstructure). For instruments equipped with a side window X-ray tube, a scan

23、dium tube is advantageous for light elements. For instruments equipped with an end window X-ray tube, a rhodium tube offers optimum sensitivity. 4.2 Swinging-disc mill, with tungsten-carbide grinding devices. 4.3 Organic binder, suitable for pressed-tablet preparation. The binder shall not contain a

24、ny of the elements to be analysed. Suitable binders are Hoechst wachs G or stearic acid. 4.4 Tablet press, capable of providing a 20-tonne load. 4.5 Appropriate sample holders, for example aluminium dishes or brass rings with the dimensions as shown in Figure 1. 4.6 Detector gas, consisting of 90 %

25、argon and 10 % methane. 4.7 Calibration standards, commercially available and certified covering the range of mass fraction given in clause 6.5. 4.8 Reference samples (RS), commercially available and certified with appropriate mass fractions for all elements.

Dry to constant mass at

27、120 C. Mill the sample of crushed material into sufficiently small particles so as to pass it through a 63 ms i e v e . Mix approximately 30 g of this sieved material with approximately 5 g of binder and remill for 20 s. Crush any remaining lumps with a spatula. If too many lumps are formed in this

28、mixture, repeat the above procedure with a smaller quantity of binder, for example 4 g. When a smaller quantity of binder is used, test it to see if the calibration sample and other samples give pressed tablets strong enough to withstand the procedure. Repeat the above procedure until a suitable qua

29、ntity of binder has been added to provide an acceptable mixture for pressing a tablet.ISO 12980:2000(E) ISO 2000 All rights reserved 3 Place the material into the selected sample holder. NOTE Aluminium dishes are preferred, but brass rings may also be used. Place the filled sample holder in the pres

For the best results, the test specimen should be at least 4 mm thick. 6 Procedure 6.1 Measurement conditions The measurement conditions are apparatus-dependent but the indications in Table 1 can serve as guidelines.

38、red precision for the measurement. Assume that the part of the counting error in the repeatability ( 4 ) of this method is about 50 %. Choose a reference material having an element mass fraction in the middle of the range given in 6.5.1. Measure the counting rate. Calculate the minimum counting time

40、ond; 2 % is the relative targeted precision, expressed as a percentage, at the 95 % probability level. For Na, take 2 % as the relative targeted precision for 2 % . For other elements, take 1 % for 2 % . This equation requires that the distribution of the counting time at peak and background follow

41、the equation below: t t I I p b p b = (5) where t p is the counting time for the peak; t b is the counting time for the background. NOTE Additional checks such as monitor samples are recommended, and will depend on the age and state of the equipment. A description is given in 6.4.1. 6.4 Drift detect

42、ion by use of a monitor sample 6.4.1 Drift detection Any drift in the net count rate can be detected by using a monitor standard during the calibration procedure and during the measurement of unknown samples. Calculate the drift factor f d for each element by the ratio f I I d = 1 n (6) where I 1 is

43、 the intensity of monitor standard during the calibration procedure; I n is the intensity of monitor standard when unknown samples are measured.ISO 12980:2000(E) 6 ISO 2000 All rights reserved If the drift factor does not lie within the repeatability range (see 7.1) this indicates that a major chang

44、e, or problem has occurred in the X-ray equipment. Check the X-ray equipment, rectify as necessary and recalibrate. 6.4.2 Selection and preparation of monitor standards A monitor standard can be prepared as described below or, alternatively, use a reference sample (RS), with appropriate mass fractio

45、ns for all elements. Monitor standards can be prepared in copper dishes, with dimensions according to the actual sample holder as sh ow ni nFi g u re1. Select appropriate components for the monitor sample, weigh them into the desired proportions, mix them carefully and fuse them at 1 200 C in a (Pt

46、 5 % Au)-crucible (a typical recipe is given in Table 2). Allow to cool, crush the melt and melt again. Repeat this procedure once more, then finely grind the melt in the swinging-disc mill. Place the powder in a thin layer in the copper dish and heat on a gas burner until the enamel softens and ad

47、heres to the copper. Repeat this procedure until a layer of 0,5 mm in the copper dish is created. A typical recipe for monitor standards is shown in Table 2. A suitable amount is 5 g.

The best results are obtained when the mass fractions of the different elements are chosen in such a way that the monitor intensities are 10

49、times to 20 times the mean intensities measured on the calibration standards. Take the monitor sample, as described above, or the appropriate reference sample that is to be used as a monitor, and prepare according to 5.2. After calibration, in order to determine its nominal mass fraction, test the homogeneity of the monitor standard. If the actual value of the monitor RS lies outside the repeatability range
