These intensities are related toconcentrations by the appropriate use of calibration data.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test methods cover, in single procedures, the determination of Ni, V

20、, and Fe in crude oils and residual oils. These testmethods complement Test Method D1548, which covers only the determination of vanadium.4.2 When fuels are combusted, vanadium present in the fuel can form corrosive compounds. The value of crude oils can bedetermined, in part, by the concentrations

21、of nickel, vanadium, and iron. Nickel and vanadium, present at trace levels in petroleumfractions, can deactivate catalysts during processing. These test methods provide a means of determining the concentrations ofnickel, vanadium, and iron.5. Purity of Reagents5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be u

Calibration and Analysis11.1 Using the blank and working standard, perform a two-point calibration at the beginning of the analysis of each batch ofspecimens. Additional working standards can be used, if desired.11.2 Use the check standard

45、to determine if the calibration for each analyte is accurate. When the result obtained on the checkstandard is not within 65 % of the expected concentration for each analyte, take corrective action and repeat the calibration.11.3 Analyze the specimens in the same manner as the calibration standards

46、(that is, same integration time, plasma conditions,and so forth). Calculate concentrations by multiplying the concentration determined for the test specimen solution by the dilutionfactor. Calculation of concentrations can be performed manually or by computer when such a feature is available.11.4 Wh

47、en the measured intensities for the test specimen solution exceed the corresponding intensities for the working standard,either ensure that the calibration curve is linear to the concentration of the element in the test specimen solution or dilute the testspecimen solution with the blank solution an

48、d reanalyze.11.5 Analyze the check standard after every fifth specimen. If any result is not within 5 % of the expected concentration, takecorrective action, repeat the calibration, and reanalyze the specimen solutions back to the previous acceptable check standardanalysis.11.6 The use of spectral b

49、ackground correction is highly recommended, particularly when the test specimen solutions containlow concentrations of the analytes (typically less than 1 mg/kg). When concentrations are low, background changes, which canresult from variability in the compositions of test specimen solutions, can affect the accuracy of the analysis. Backgroundcorrection minimizes errors due to variable background intensities.TEST METHOD BICPAFTER ACID DECOMPOSITION OF SAMPLE12.
