2、foriginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of ten majorele
3、ments (SiO2,Al2O3,Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, TiO2,P2O5, MnO, and LOI in ceramic whitewares clays and mineralsusing wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(WDXRF). The sample is first ignited, then fused with lithiumtetraborate and the resultant glass disc is introduced into awavelengt
4、h dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The disc is irradi-ated with X-rays from an X-ray tube. X-ray photons emitted bythe elements in the samples are counted and concentrationsdetermined using previously prepared calibration standards.(1)2In addition to 10 major elements, the method provides agravimetric
5、 loss-on-ignition.NOTE 1Much of the text of this test method is derived directly fromMajor element analysis by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescencespectrometry, included in Ref (1).1.2 Interferences, with analysis by WDXRF, may resultfrom mineralogical or other structural effects, line overlaps,
6、and matrix effects. The structure of the sample, mineralogicalor otherwise, is eliminated through fusion with a suitable flux.Fusion of the sample diminishes matrix effects and produces astable, flat, homogeneous sample for presentation to thespectrometer. Selecting certain types of crystal monochro
7、ma-tors eliminates many of the line overlaps and multiorder lineinterferences. A mathematical correction procedure (2) is usedto correct for the absorption and enhancement matrix effects.1.3 Concentrations of the elements in clays and minerals aredetermined independent of the oxidation state and are

The specific Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP)for the laboratory, or laboratories if the corporation has morethan one, gives the first-aid treatment and disposal proceduresfor chemical products used in this method.6. Procedure6.1 Ignite a 0.8000 g portion of minus 80-mesh sample
22、 in atared 95 percent Pt/5 percent Au crucible at 925C for 40minutes. Report the weight loss as percent loss on ignition(LOI).6.2 Add a charge of lithium tetraborate (or a blend oflithium tetraborate/lithium metaborate) that will contribute8.0000 g after fusion to the sample and thoroughly mix thepo
23、wders.6.3 The combined weights of the sample and the flux willresult in an “infinitely thick” sample disc to the instrument.6.4 Add a 0.250 mL aliquot of the 1:1 LiBr solution, servingas a nonwetting agent, to the sample.6.5 Load whatever number of crucibles (with samples) andmolds the fluxer is equ
24、ipped to hold and the same number ofempty molds onto the fluxer.6.6 Following the instructions of the fluxer, allow it to reacha temperature of 1120C for ten minutes, and then rock for 5minutes to stir and homogenize the samples. If sulfur is to bedetermined, fusion temperature must be 1050C or less
25、 and theblend of lithium tetraborate/lithium metaborate must be used.6.7 Remove the fluxer from the furnace, pour the moltenmixtures into their respective molds, and cool to near roomtemperature. An essential feature of this mold is the molddesign (3).6.8 Samples with high concentrations of Cu, Cr,
26、Ni, Fe, Mnand high organic content require various special sample prepa-ration techniques, and, in some cases, cannot be prepared at all.6.9 Samples with arsenic or lead with concentrations inexcess of 2000 ppm, or with combined As/Pb concentration inexcess of 3000 ppm cannot be prepared because of
27、risk ofdamage of the Pt/Au crucibles.6.10 Using the wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer,the major element concentrations are determined by comparingthe intensities obtained from standards with those obtainedfrom the sample (5,6). For example, the following instrumentalconditions are for the Phi

If it again shows deviation, then halt thesample preparation and locate the problem. Instrument recali-bration
40、 is performed if both the sample preparation standardand the instrument standard exceed controls.8. Report8.1 Report the following information:8.1.1 Identification of the material tested, and8.1.2 A table listing oxides and LOI by their percentage inthe sample.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe W
41、DXRF method for major elementanalysis is unique among analytical method packages in that ittakes advantage of the summation of the determined elements.This summation acts as a measure of quality control. If ananalysis includes the principal elements in a sample, then thetotal of their determinations
42、 should approach 100 percent. Thischeck is the main reason that a LOI was initially incorporatedin the package. If an analysis yields a total major element oxidedetermination of less than 97 percent or greater than 101percent, then it is automatically repeated. Precision in theWDXRF method depends o
43、n the stability of the instrument, theorientation of this sample disc as it is presented to theinstrument, and the homogeneity of the sample preparation.9.2 BiasNo data, regarding the reference samples, assupplied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology,is available to determine bias.A
