23、od8.1 Silver is determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.The element, either dissolved or total recoverable, is chelatedwith ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) andextracted with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The extract isaspirated into an air-acetylene flame of the spectrophotometer.T

24、otal recoverable silver is determined following nitric aciddigestion and filtration.9. Interferences9.1 Concentrations of iron greater than 25 mg/L interfere bysuppressing the silver absorption.10. Apparatus10.1 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer for use at 328.1nm. A general guide for the use of f

25、lame atomic absorptionapplications is given in Practice D 4691.NOTE 2The manufacturers instructions should be followed for in-strumental parameters. Wave-lengths other than 328.1 nm may be used ifthey have been determined to be equally suitable.10.2 Silver Hollow-Cathode Lamp.10.3 Pressure-Reducing

Standardization12.1 Prepare a blank and sufficient standards containingfrom 0.0 to 1.0 g of silver by diluting 0.0 to 1

35、0.0-mL portionsof silver standard solution to approximately 100 mL.12.2 To determine total recoverable silver, use 125-mLbeakers or flasks, add 5.0 mL of HNO3(sp gr 1.42), andproceed as directed in 13.3 through 13.10. To determinedissolved silver use 200-mL volumetric flasks and proceed asdirected i

36、n 13.5 through 13.10. Treat the blank and eachstandard in the same manner as the samples.12.3 Construct an analytical curve by plotting the absor-bances of standards versus micrograms of silver. Alternatively,read directly in concentration if this capability is provided withthe instrument.13. Proced

37、ure13.1 Measure a volume of a well-mixed acidified samplecontaining less than 1.0 g of silver (100-mL maximum) intoa 125-mLbeaker or flask and adjust the volume to 100 mLwithwater.NOTE 6If only dissolved silver is to be determined, measure a volumeof filtered and acidified sample containing less tha

38、n 1.0 g of silver (100mL maximum) into a 200-mL volumetric flask and adjust the volume to100 mL and start with 13.5.13.2 Add 5 mL of HNO3(sp gr 1.42) to each sample.13.3 Heat the samples on a steam bath or hot plate in awell-ventilated hood until the volume has been reduced to 15to 20 mL making cert

39、ain that the samples do not boil.NOTE 7For brines and samples with a high concentration of sus-pended matter, the amount of reduction in volume is left to the discretionof the analyst.13.4 Cool and filter each sample through a filter (such as afine-textured acid washed, ashless paper) into a 200-mLv

40、olumetric flask. Wash the filter paper two or three times withwater and adjust the filtrate to about 100 mL.13.5 Add 2 drops of bromophenol blue indicator solutionand mix.13.6 Adjust the pH by addition of NaOH solution (100 g/L)until a blue color persists. Add HCl (1 + 49) by drops until theblue col

41、or just disappears; then add 2.5 mL of HCl (1 + 49) inexcess. The pH at this point should be 2.3.NOTE 8The pH adjustment in 13.6 may be made with a pH meterinstead of using indicator.13.7 Add 2.5 mL ofAPDC solution and mix. The pH shouldbe approximately 2.8.13.8 Add 10.0 mLof MIBK and shake vigorous

42、ly for 1 min.NOTE 9Warning: Perform in a well ventilated hood (see Note 3).13.9 Allow the layers to separate and add, carefully downthe side of the flask, water until the ketone layer is completelyin the neck of the flask.NOTE 10MIBK is soluble to some extent in water; therefore avoidany undue agita

43、tion of the solution during and after addition of waterwhich could result in a concentration of the metal chelate in the MIBKlayer. To avoid this problem, MIBK-saturated water may be used to raisethe MIBK layer into the neck of the flask.13.10 Atomize the ketone layer and record the scale readingor

44、concentration (Note 11). Aspirate water-saturated MIBKbetween each sample.NOTE 11It is necessary to reduce the acetylene flow when aspiratingan organic solvent (MIBK) to obtain a nonluminous flame. Also allow theflame conditions to come to equilibrium before aspirating samples.14. Calculation14.1 De

45、termine the weight of silver in each sample byreferring to 12.3. Calculate the concentration of silver inmicrograms per litre as follows:Silver, g/L 5 1000/A! 3 Bwhere:A = volume of original sample, mL, andB = weight of silver in sample, g.15. Precision and Bias515.1 The single-operator and overall

46、precision of this testmethod within its designated range for four laboratories, whichinclude a total of seven operators analyzing each sample onthree different days varies with the quantity being tested, seeTable 1.15.2 Recoveries of known amounts of silver (from silvernitrate) in a series of prepar

47、ed standards for the same labora-tories and operators are shown in Table 1.15.3 The collaborative test data were obtained on reagentwater, natural surface water, and drinking water. This data maynot apply to untested matrices. It is the users responsibility toensure the validity of this test method

48、for waters of untestedmatrices.15.4 Precision and bias for this test method conforms toPractice D 2777-77, which was in place at the time ofcollaborative testing. Under the allowances made in 1.4 of D2777-06, these precision and bias data do meet existingrequirements for interlaboratory studies of C
