Summary of Practice4.1 Lead in dried paint samples (chips, powder, etc.) issolubilized (extracted) by digestion with nitric acid and hydro-gen peroxide facilitated

17、 by heat, or by a mixture of nitric acidand hydrochloric acid facilitated by microwave energy. (It isassumed that the paint samples were collected in accordancewith Practice E1729; however, this practice can be used for anycollected paint sample.) The lead content of the digestedsample is then in a

18、form ready for measurement.5. Significance and Use5.1 Paint in buildings and related structures needs to bemonitored for lead content in order to determine the potentiallead hazard. Hence, effective and efficient methods are requiredfor the preparation of paint samples that may contain lead.5.2 This

19、 practice may be used for the digestion of paintsamples that are collected during various lead-hazard controland risk assessment activities associated with lead abatement inand around buildings and related structures. This practice isalso suitable for the digestion of paint samples collected fromloc

20、ations such as commercial buildings.5.3 This practice may be used to prepare samples that havebeen obtained in order to ensure compliance with laws thatgovern lead content in paints.5.4 This practice may be used to prepare samples that havebeen collected for risk assessment purposes.5.5 This practic

21、e is intended for use with paint samples thatare prepared for subsequent analysis by laboratory-basedquantitative analytical methods.6. Apparatus6.1 Heating Equipment:6.1.1 Electric Hot Platesuitable for operation at surfacetemperatures up to at least 140C. A temperature of at least100C, as measured

22、 by a thermometer placed inside a boro-silicate glass container (on the hot plate) filled with digestionsolution, should be attainable. (See Note 1.)NOTE 1Provided that the hot plate is capable of handling the extraheating required, use of a 12 to 25-mm (approximately 0.5 to 1-in.) thickaluminum pla

23、te placed on the burner head can help reduce the presence ofhot spots common to electric hot plates.6.1.2 Microwave Extraction Apparatus:WarningEnsure that manufacturers safety recommenda-tions are followed.NOTE 2The procedure described is for microwave digestion systemswith a temperature control sy

24、stem. Microwave digestion systems that areequipped only with a pressure control system or lower pressure vessels, orboth, may be used, provided that a prior assessment of the dissolutionefficiency is carried out.6.1.2.1 Microwave Digestion Systemdesigned for closedvessel digestion, with power output

25、 regulation, fitted with atemperature control system capable of sensing the temperatureto within 62C, and automatically adjusting the microwavepower output within 2 s. The microwave cavity shall beresistant to chemical attack, and equipped with exhaust venti-lation for acid vapor protection of the u

26、nit and operator. Allelectronics shall be protected against corrosion to ensure safeoperation. Safety interlocks, to shut off magnetron poweroutput, shall be contained within the oven door openingmechanism.WarningDomestic (kitchen) microwave ovens shall notbe used, since there are very significant h

27、azards associated withtheir use for the procedure described in this standard. Forexample, acid vapors released into the cavity can corrodesafety devices that prevent the magnetron from shutting offwhen the door is opened, potentially exposing the operator tomicrowave energy.Also, the fumes generated

28、 can be extremelyhazardous.NOTE 3Apressure control system is also very useful, since it providesa safeguard against the possibility of sample loss due to excessive pressurebuildup and partial venting of the sample vessels.6.1.2.2 Lined Sample Vesselsclosed, designed for carryingout microwave digesti

29、ons, capable of withstanding a tempera-ture of at least 180C and with an internal volume of at least 50mL. The vessels must be transparent to microwave energy, andvessel liners shall be chemically inert. The vessels must beE1645 01 (2016)12capable of withstanding high internal pressures (up to at le

30、ast3000 kPa) and temperatures (up to at least 180C). Vesselsshall also be equipped with a safety relief valve or disc that willprevent vessel rupture or ejection of the vessel cap. Suchvessels consist of an inner liner and cover made of a micro-wave transparent and chemically resistant material (usu

31、ally afluorocarbon polymer such as tetra-fluoromethoxil polymer(TFM), which contains and isolates the sample solution from ahigh strength, outer pressure structure. Other types of samplevessels designed to operate at equivalent or higher tempera-tures or pressures, or both, may be used.WarningFor cl

32、osed vessel designs, the material fromwhich the outer vessels are made is usually not as chemicallyinert as the liner material. Since the outer vessels provide thestrength required to withstand the high pressures within theinner liners, they must be inspected regularly to check for anychemical or ph

Prepare in a well-ventilated fume hood.)7. Sample Treatment7.1 Sample Preparation:7.1.1 Sample Mass and AreaAfter analysis, report thefina

39、l results in area concentration (mg Pb/cm2) or massconcentration (ppm Pb, percent Pb by mass, or alternativeunits). If area concentration is desired, sample areas must beprovided (by the person submitting the samples) for each paintsample (chip, powder, etc.). The total mass of area concentra-tion s

40、amples must be determined. Samples may be subsampled(after grinding and homogenization), depending on the samplemass.7.1.2 Area SamplesFor each field sample, homogenize thedried paint sample (inside the original sample container, ifpossible) as described in the following:7.1.2.1 Don a new clean pair

41、 of vinyl gloves to performsample handling.7.1.2.2 Remove any large amounts of substrate present inthe sample. Exercise care when removing substrate to avoidany losses of paint. If required, use a clean safety razor bladeor equivalent tool to aid in substrate removal.7.1.2.3 Determination of Total C

42、ollected Sample MassAccurate determination of the collected sample mass is re-quired to report lead analysis results in terms of area concen-tration (mass per unit area of paint sample). A completetransfer of the sample is required to whatever preweighedcontainer is used to hold the sample during ma

43、ss determination(for example, weighing boat or weighing paper). Total massshall be made to the nearest 0.1 mg.The following precautions shall be observed during deter-mination of total mass:(1) Total sample mass can be determined either before orafter sample homogenization. Determination of total sa

44、mplemass is generally advisable prior to homogenization whensamples consist of large intact chips that can be easilytransferred without incurring losses. Determination of totalsample mass is generally advisable after homogenization whensamples can be homogenized in the original sample collectioncont

45、ainer and the samples are not large intact chips.NOTE 4In this case, the sample container should be weighed afterhomogenization.(2) Any visible traces of paint left in the original containeror container used for homogenization (if different from originalcontainer) may result in bias of the final lea

46、d analysis results.Therefore, such traces shall be minimized.Any visible materialthat cannot be transferred shall be documented in samplepreparation records.(3) For sample transfers following homogenization, mostlosses caused by the presence of fine powder remaining in theoriginal container or conta

47、iner used for homogenization (ifdifferent from original container) will not result in any signifi-cant bias (particularly with respect to the large samplingvariability that normally accompanies the field collectionpractice.)(4) For sample transfers prior to homogenization (that is,when homogenizatio

48、n cannot be performed in the originalcontainer used in sample collection), any losses caused by finepowder remaining in the original container may result in asignificant bias. Therefore, sample transfers conducted prior toE1645 01 (2016)13sample homogenization shall be performed with extra attention

49、to avoiding visible traces of paint left in the original container.NOTE 5If sample mass is determined after homogenization in thecollection container, the container should be weighed (clean) either beforesampling, or after sample homogenization, reweighing (immediatelyfollowing sample transfer), and recleaning.7.1.2.4 Homogenization of SamplesSamples shall be ho-mogenized as finely as possible, regardless of whether areaconcentration or mass concentration results are desired. Thehomogenization of the sample serves two purposes: (a) toensure
