Sampling7.1 Sampling shall be done in accordance with PracticesD 4057 or Test Method D 4177.7.2 Use a clear, clean glass pint bottle, previously rinsedtwice with HCl (1+9) and once with water and allowed to dry,for sampling the bulk material or plant streams. Obtain arepresenta
18、tive sample but do not fill the bottle more than abouttwo-thirds full. Warm viscous samples until they can be mixedreadily. Stir up any material that has settled out and shake thesample for 3 min just prior to weighing it out.7.3 Optimum sample size for most instruments is that whichcontains from 0.
19、5 to 1.0 mg of sodium. Estimate the samplesize as follows (see Note 1):Sample size, g 5 750/estimated sodium content, mg/kg (1)NOTE 1An estimate of the maximum amount of sodium in a samplecan be obtained from its ash value. For example, an ash of 0.01 % wouldundoubtedly have less than 0.005 % sodium
20、 (50 ppm). If there is noestimate as to the probable sodium range in a sample, it is more expedientto weigh out a large amount, for example 60 g, because the test methodprovides for dilution of sample solutions that are more concentrated thanthe standards.8. Calibration8.1 Dilute the sodium solution
21、 (1000 mg Na/L) so as toobtain solutions containing 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, and 20mg/L (approximately equivalent to mg/kg). Store all dilutesodium solutions in polyethylene bottles.8.2 Prepare the flame photometer for use as described in themanufacturers instruction manual. Carefully adjust the
22、pres-sure of the gases (WarningDangerous.) used for flamecombustion in the order described by the manufacturer untiloptimum control is achieved. Select a standard approximatelyin the middle of the optimum range of the instrument beingused. While atomizing this medium-range standard, adjust thewavele
23、ngth selector to the greatest response for the sodiumdoublet at about 589 nm and adjust all controls of theinstrument to optimum performance. Finally, adjust the sensi-tivity control to give a proper scale reading.8.3 Atomize each of the standard solutions and record thescale response for each. Run
24、repeat checks on the medium-range standard selected in 6.2 after each of these standards todetermine whether the flame photometer is functioning prop-erly. Make the indicated adjustments, if required, and rerun thestandards.8.4 Prepare a working curve by plotting the milligrams ofsodium per litre ag
25、ainst the scale readings.9. Procedure9.1 Preparation of Sample:9.1.1 Weigh into a thoroughly clean, dry 100-mL platinumdish the appropriate size sample (7.3) with an accuracy of atleast 1 part per 100 parts of sample (Note 2). Samples largerthan 75 g require a second filling of the platinum dish; fo
26、r suchsamples, obtain the sample weight from the difference betweenthe initial and final weights of the sample bottle. Place theplatinum dish containing the fuel oil on a silica triangleproperly supported, and heat with a bunsen burner until thecontents ignite and burn readily (Note 3). Continue hea
27、tingwith the burner in such a manner that the sample burns at auniform and moderate rate and only ash and carbon remainafter burning ceases. For samples larger than 75 g, cool the dishand fill it approximately two-thirds full with additional well-shaken sample, and burn as above.NOTE 2Handle the pla
28、tinum dish only with platinum-tip tongs and donot touch it with the fingers during the test. Carefully dust the bottom ofthe dish with a clean camel-hair brush before each weighing.NOTE 3If sample contains an appreciable amount of water, asindicated by spattering when heated, add a few millilitres o
29、f ethyl-alcohol(95 %) (WarningFlammable) or isopropyl alcohol (99 %) (WarningFlammable) before heating. Include the alcohol in the blank determina-tion.9.1.2 Place the dish in a muffle furnace at no more than200C (Note 3). Slowly raise the temperature to 550 6 50C.Leave the muffle door slightly ajar
30、 until only a little carbonremains in the dish; then close the door and continue theignition until no carbon is visible.NOTE 4The platinum dishes should be placed on silica plates or silicatriangles on the floor of the muffle furnace. Particular care must beexercised to avoid contamination of the sa
31、mple with particles from theroof, walls, and the door of the furnace. During the initial ignition, theopening of the muffle door must be carefully adjusted so that the air flowinto the muffle is not excessive. Too great an air flow causes hightemperatures in the burning carbon and also possible loss
32、 of ash from thedish.9.1.3 Cool the dish to room temperature, add 1 mL ofH2SO4(1+1) and about 1 mL of HF to the platinum dish (Note5), evaporate to dryness under a hood, and replace the dish inthe muffle furnace at 550 6 50C for 15 min.NOTE 5Unless the silica is removed, low values will result from
33、theocclusion of sodium in the insoluble residue.9.1.4 Cool the platinum dish, wash down its sides withabout 10 mL of water and, by means of a dropper, add 2 dropsof H2SO4(1+1). Heat the dish on a steam bath, to effect thesolution of the sodium salts, until approximately 1 mL of liquidremains. Remove
34、 from the steam bath, add 5 to 10 mLof water,and filter the solution through an acid-washed filter paper or anacid-washed, sintered-glass filter into a 100-mL volumetricflask. Wash the dish and filter with water, collecting the washwater in the volumetric flask. Dilute to 100 mL with water andmix. I
35、f the ashed sample is known to contain less than 0.5 mgof sodium, make a proportionately smaller dilution to obtain 5to 10 mg of sodium per litre in the final solution.9.2 Photometric Measurement:9.2.1 Put the flame photometer into operation, using theidentical burner and instrument settings that we
36、re determinedduring calibration in accordance with 8.2. Vaporize themedium-range standard solution (8.2) and adjust the sensitivitycontrol to give the same scale reading that was obtained whenthe calibration curve was prepared.9.2.2 Atomize a portion of the sample solution prepared in9.1.4 in the fl
37、ame photometer. If it is in the optimum range forthe instrument in use, proceed as directed in 9.2.3.Ifitistooconcentrated, place a few millilitres in a graduated cylinder,D 1318 00 (2005)2dilute to a known volume with water, and atomize. If neces-sary, repeat this operation to determine the correct
38、 dilution.When this is established, make the proper accurate dilution bypipetting an aliquot from the original 100-mL volumetric flaskinto another volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with water.9.2.3 Atomize the properly diluted sample solution, recordthe scale reading, and obtain the sodium con
39、centration inmilligrams per litre by reference to the standard curve preparedin 8.4. Also atomize standards just lower and higher than theunknown to check the validity of the calibration curve.9.2.4 Perform a blank determination on all of the reagents,including the water, in accordance with the proc
40、edure justdescribed.10. Calculation and Report10.1 Calculate the sodium concentration, in parts per mil-lion as follows:Sodium, mg in sample 5 A 2 B! 3 CE/1000D (2)Sodium, mg/kg 5mg of sodium 3 1000!/Wwhere:A = sodium concentration of the sample solution, mg/L,B = sodium concentration in the reagent
41、 blank, mg/L,C = volume to which ashed sample was originally diluted,mL,D = volume of aliquot taken from original dilution, mLE = volume to which aliquot D was diluted, mL andW = weight of sample used, g,10.2 Report the results to the nearest 1 mg/kg.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionThe following
42、 criteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results (95 % confidence):11.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successivetest results, obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus under constant operating conditions on identical testmaterial, would, in the long run in the norm
43、al and correctoperation of the test method, exceed the following values onlyin one case in twenty:Sodium, mg/kg Repeatability, mg/kg15 to 40 440 to 85 611.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent results, obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories o
44、n identical test material, would, inthe long run in the normal and correct operation of the testmethod, exceed the following values only in one case intwenty:Sodium, ppm Reproducibility, ppm15 to 25 925 to 50 1550 to 90 2311.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining
