10、actice employs liquid/liquid extraction to isolatecompounds of interest. The sample is added to an extractiondevice. The solvent may be added to the sample container or anextraction device and extracted for a period of 5 min. Thesolvent is then ready for analysis. If required, the pH may beadjusted

11、and salt may be added prior to extraction to increasethe extraction specificity and efficiency.3.2 The solvent extract may be further processed usingsample clean-up and concentration techniques. The analytes inthe solvent may be analyzed using instrumental methods forspecific volatile or semivolatil

18、. Thedetection limit, linear concentration range, and sensitivity ofthe test method for a specific organic compound will dependupon the sample clean-up, injection volume, solvent to sampleratio, solvent concentration methods used, and the determina-tive technique employed.4.3 Micro-extraction has th

19、e advantage of speed, simpleextraction devices, and the use of small amounts of sample andsolvents.4.3.1 Selectivity can be improved by the choice of solvent(usually hexane or pentane) or mixed solvents, extraction timeand temperature, and ionic strength of the solution.4.3.2 Extraction devices can

20、vary from the sample containeritself to commercial devices specifically designed for micro-extraction. See 7.1 and 7.2.4.3.3 A list of chlorinated organic compounds that can bedetermined by this practice includes both high and low boilingcompounds or chemicals (see Table 1).5. Interferences5.1 Solve

21、nts, reagents, glassware, and other sample process-ing hardware may yield discrete artifacts or elevated baselinesthat can cause poor precision and accuracy. See TerminologyD1129.5.1.1 Glassware should be washed with detergent, rinsedwith water, followed by a rinse with distilled in glass acetone.Fi

22、nal drying is done by air or 103C oven. Additional cleaningsteps may be required when the analysis requires levels ofmicrograms per litre or below. Once the glassware has beencleaned, it should be used immediately or stored wrapped inaluminum foil (shiny side out) or by stretching a sheet ofPTFE-flu

They are a significant source of interference and canadsorb some organics.5.1.3 A field blank prepared from water and carried throughsampling, subsequent storage, and handling can serve as acheck on sour

24、ces of interferences from the containers.5.2 When performing analyses for specific organiccompounds, matrix interferences may be caused by materialsand constituents that are coextracted from the sample. Theextent of such matrix interferences will vary considerablydepending on the sample and the spec

25、ific instrumental analysismethod used. Matrix interferences may be reduced by thechoice of extracting solvent, or by using a clean-up techniqueon the extract.6. Selection of the Extraction Solvent6.1 The selection of solvent for extraction will depend uponmany factors, including the following:6.1.1

26、Solvent compatibility with analytical instrumentation,6.1.2 Solubility of the organic constituent in the solventversus its solubility in water. The water/solvent ratio has beenfound to be critical to achieve optimum recovery of someanalytes (see Test Method D3973). Typical solvent to sampleratios ar

The ratio should be optimized formaximum recovery or detection of an analyte, or both,6.1.3 The availability and purity of the solvent,6.1.4 The boiling point and viscosity of the solvent,6.1.5 The tendency of the solvent and matrix to formemulsions, and6.1.6 Solubility of the solve

Other grades may be used,if it is first ascertained that the solvent is of sufficiently highpurity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the

35、determination.8.3 The extraction solvent of choice should be appropriatefor the matrix and compounds of interest. This choice isdependent upon the chemical properties of the organic con-stituents of interest and the matrix being extracted.8.4 The spiking, standard materials and surrogates shouldbe r

Hazards9.1 The toxicity and carcinogenicity of chemicals used orthat could be used

Exposure to these chemicals should be minimized.Each laboratory is responsible for maintaining awareness ofOSHA regulations regarding safe handling of chemicals usedin this practice.9.2 If

40、using ether solvents, the hazard of peroxides forma-tion should be considered by testing for the presence ofperoxide prior to use.10. Sample Handling10.1 There are many procedures for acquiring representa-tive samples of water. The procedure chosen will be site andanalysis specific. There are severa

41、l guides and practices forsampling listed in the ASTM subject index under Sampling-Water Applications. Two good sources are Practices D3370and Guide D4448.10.2 The recommended sample size is 40 to 100 mL. Moreor less sample can be used depending upon the sampleavailability, detection limits required

42、, and the expected con-centration level of the analyte. Forty millilitre VOA vials arecommonly used as sampling containers. Head space should beeliminated if volatiles analysis is required.10.3 Sample Storage:10.3.1 All samples must be iced or refrigerated to 4C fromthe time of collection until read

43、y for extraction.10.3.2 Samples should be stored in a clean dry place awayfrom samples containing high concentrations of organics.10.4 Sample Preservation:10.4.1 Some compounds are susceptible to rapid biologicaldegradation under certain environmental conditions. If biologi-cal activity is expected,

44、 adjust the pH of the sample to about 2by adding HCl. The constituent of concern must be stableunder acid conditions. For additional information, see PracticesD3694.10.4.2 If residual chlorine is present, add sodium thiosulfateas a preservative (30 mg/4 oz bottle).NOTE 2Any reagents added to the sam

45、ple at the time of collection orbefore analysis must be added to the laboratory blank and standard. See11.3.11. Quality Control11.1 Minimum quality control requirements are an initialdemonstration of laboratory capability, analysis of methodblanks, a laboratory fortified blank, a laboratory fortifie

46、dsample matrix and, if available, quality control samples. For ageneral discussion of good laboratory practices, see GuideD3856 and Practice D4210.11.2 Select a representative spike concentration (about threetimes the estimated detection limit or expected concentration)for each analyte. Extract acco

47、rding to Section 12 and analyze.11.3 Method blanks must be prepared using reagent gradewater and contain all the reagents used in sample preservationand preparation. The blanks must be carried through the entireanalytical procedure with the samples. Each time a group ofsamples are run that contain d

48、ifferent reagents or reagentconcentrations, a new method blank must be run.11.4 All calibration and quality control standards must beextracted using the same reagents, procedures, and conditionsas the samples.11.5 Precision and bias must be established for each matrixand laboratory analytical method

49、.11.5.1 Precision should be determined by splitting spikedsamples or analytes in the batch into two equal portions. Thereplicate samples should then be extracted and analyzed.11.5.2 Bias should be determined in the laboratory byspiking the samples with the analytes of interest at a concen-tration three times the concentration found in the samples orless.NOTE 3The bias may be decreased by keeping the temperature,shaking speed and time, ionic strength, and solvent and sample volumesconstant.12.
