Significance and Use5.1 The presence and concentration of various metallicelements in a petroleum
17、 coke are major factors in determiningthe suitability of the coke for various end uses. This testmethod provides a means of determining the concentrations ofthese metallic elements in a coke sample.5.2 The test method provides a standard procedure for useby buyer and seller in the commercial transfe
18、r of petroleumcoke to determine whether the petroleum coke meets thespecifications of the purchasing party.6. Interferences6.1 SpectralFollow the instrument manufacturers oper-ating guide to develop and apply correction factors to compen-sate for the interferences. To apply interference corrections,
19、 allconcentrations shall be within the previously established linearresponse range of each element.6.2 Spectral interferences are caused by: (1) overlap of aspectral line from another element; (2) unresolved overlap ofmolecular band spectra; (3) background contribution fromcontinuous or recombinatio
20、n phenomena; and (4) stray lightfrom the line emission of high-concentration elements. Spec-tral overlap can be compensated for by computer-correcting theraw data after monitoring and measuring the interfering ele-ment. Unresolved overlap requires selection of an alternatewavelength. Background cont
21、ribution and stray light canusually be compensated for by a background correction adja-cent to the analyte line.6.3 Physical interferences are effects associated with thesample nebulization and transport processes. Changes in vis-cosity and surface tension can cause significant inaccuracies,especial
22、ly in samples containing high dissolved solids or highacid concentrations. If physical interferences are present, theyshall be reduced by diluting the sample, by using a peristalticpump, or by using the standard additions method. Anotherproblem that can occur with high dissolved solids is saltsbuild
23、up at the tip of the nebulizer, which can affect aerosol flowrate and cause instrumental drift. This problem can be con-trolled by wetting the argon prior to nebulization, using a tipwasher, or diluting the sample.7.

Procedure11.1 Weigh 5 g (to 0.1 mg) of the dried petroleum cokeprepared in Section 9 into a labeled 50 to 58 mL platinum dish.11.2 Place the platinum dish in a cold muffle furnace andheat directly to 700 6 10C until all carbonaceous matter isremoved. Transfer the platinum dish to a desicc
47、ator and cool toroom temperature.11.3 To convert the ash into a solution, weigh, on ananalytical balance, onto a tared weighing paper, 0.5 g(60.0005 g) of lithium borate powder. Sprinkle the lithiumborate evenly over the ash. Use platinum tipped tongs to placethe platinum dish into a muffle furnace
48、at 1000 6 10C for oneor two minutes. Use the platinum-tipped tongs to gently swirlthe melt to dissolve the ash. Continue heating in the furnace fortwo to three minutes or until a clear, transparent melt isobtained.11.3.1 The ideal fusion after cooling will look like clearglass inside the platinum di
49、sh. An opaque melt possiblyindicates poor fusion and some of the ash can remain insolubleduring the dissolution step. Full dissolution of the ash isrequired.11.3.2 If a 1000 6 10C furnace is not available, the fusioncan be performed using a Meker type burner as follows. Placethe platinum dish onto the crucible support resting on a ringstand over the burner and adjust the forced air gas flame so thatthe lithium borate melts in about 30 s. Using platinum-tippedtongs, gently swirl the melt to dissolve the ash. Continueheating over the burner
