33、)8.10 Filter PaperPurchase suitable filter paper. Typically the filter papers have a pore size of 0.45-m membrane. Materialsuch as fine-textured, acid-washed, ashless paper, or glass fiber paper are acceptable. The user must first ascertain that the filterpaper is of sufficient purity to use without

34、 adversely affecting the bias and precision of the test method.9. Sampling9.1 Collect the samples in accordance with instructions in Practices D3370. The holding time for the samples may be calculatedin accordance with Practice D4841.9.2 To preserve the samples add concentrated HNO3 (sp gr 1.42) to

35、a pH of 2 or less immediately at the time of collection;normally about 2 mL/L is required. If only dissolved strontium is to be determined, filter (8.10) the samples at time of collectionthrough a 0.45-m membrane filter before acidification.NOTE 4Alternatively, the pH may be adjusted in the laborato

36、ry if the sample is returned within 14 days. within 14 days of collection. This couldreduce hazards of working with acids in the field when appropriate.10. Standardization10.1 An effective way to clean all glassware to be used for preparation of standard solutions or in the digestion step, or both,i

37、s by soaking the glassware for 2 h first with HNO3 (1 + 1) and then rinsing with reagent water.10.2 Prepare a blank and at least four working standards to bracket the expected strontium concentration range of the samplesto be analyzed by diluting the standard strontium solution (8.6) to the desired

38、concentrations. Select concentrations that will givea zero, middle, and maximum points for the analytical curve.10.3 Pipette 10.0 mL of each standard into a 50-mL beaker or flask and add 1.0 mL of lanthanum chloride/potassium chloridesolution. Mix well by swirling.10.4 To test the suitability of rea

39、gents used in the analysis, zero the instrument while aspirating reagent water.Aspirate the zerostandard and record the response. If the zero standard produces a response sufficient to affect the detection limit or accuracy, orboth, of the test method, the contaminated reagent should be identified a

40、nd replaced with a grade of suitable quality beforeproceeding.10.5 Aspirate the blank (zero standard) and adjust the instrument reading to zero. Aspirate standards and record the instrumentreading for each. Aspirate reagent water between each standard.NOTE 5Best results have been obtained with a sli

42、tly in concentration if this capability is provided in the instrument.11. Procedure11.1 For total recoverable strontium, add 5 mL of concentrated nitric acid (8.5)(8.5) to 100 mL of the sample in a 250-mLErlenmeyer flask, and mix well. Heat the sample at 95C (between 65C and 95C) on a steam bath/hot

43、 plate below boiling in awell-ventilated fume hood until the volume is reduced to 15 to 20 mL.mL, making certain that the samples do not boil.NOTE 6When testing samples of brine or samples containing a large amount of solids, the amount of reduction in volume is left to the discretionof the analyst.

44、NOTE 7Many laboratories have found block digestion systems a useful way to digest samples for trace metals analysis. Systems typically consist ofeither a metal or graphite block with wells to hold digestion tubes. The block temperature controller must be able to maintain uniformity of temperatureacr

45、oss all positions of the block. The digestion block must be capable of maintaining a temperature between 65C and 95C. For trace metals analysis,the digestion tubes should be constructed of polypropylene and have a volume accuracy of at least 0.5%. 0.5 %. All lots of tubes should come with acertifica

46、te of analysis to demonstrate suitability for their intended purpose. If a block digestion system is used, reduced volumes of samples and reagentswill be required. Make sure that the reagent volumes maintain the same proportions as in the macro method.11.2 If color in the digested solution indicates

47、 the presence of partially oxidized materials, add additional nitric acid andapproximately 90 mL of reagent water to the cooled solution and repeat the digestion as before. Repeat this step several times ifnecessary.11.3 Cool and filter the digested solution through a suitable filter (such as fine-t

48、extured, acid-washed ashless paper)paper; 8.10)into a 100-mL volumetric flask. Wash the filter paper 2 to 3 times and make up to volume with reagent water.Areagent blank (100D3920 183mLof reagent water and 5 mLof concentrated nitric acid) should be carried through the digestion process and treated a

An unacceptable high response could indicate that the nitric acid was of poor quality.NOTE 8If only dissolved strontium is to be determined, filter portion of the sample through a 0.45-m membrane filter and proceed with 11.4.11.4 Pipette 10.0 mL of sample, or a dilution of the sample, into a 50-mL beaker or flask.11.5 Add 1.0 mL of lanthanum chloride/potassium chloride solution (8.4)(8.4) to each sample.
