Procedure11.1 Transfer approximately 1.0 g of the sample to a small weighing bottle previously dried at
25、 about 150 C. Dry the bottle andcontents for 1 h at 105 C to 110 C. Cap the bottle and cool to room temperature in a desiccator. Momentarily release the cap toequalize the pressure and weigh the capped bottle and sample to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat the drying and weighing until thereis no further w

The difference between the two weightsmasses is the weightmass of the sample taken for analysis.11.2 Carry a reagent blank through all steps of the procedure starting with 11.3.11.3 D
27、ecomposition of SampleMoisten the sample with a few millilitres of water, add 25 mL of HCl, cover and digest belowthe boiling point until no further attack is apparent. Add 2 mL of HNO3 and digest for several minutes. Remove the cover andevaporate the solution to dryness. Heat the salts on a hot pla
28、te at 105 C to 110 C for 15 min.Add 5 mL of HCl, cover the beaker,and warm for several min. Add 50 mL of water and warm until soluble salts are in solution. Filter on a fine-textured paper, andcollect the filtrate in a 250-mL beaker. Transfer the residue quantitatively to the filter paper. Wash alte

Reserve the filtrate.11.4
31、 Treatment of ResidueIgnite the paper and residue in the platinum crucible. Cool, moisten with several drops of water,and add three or four drops of H2SO4 (1 + 1) and 10 mL of HF. Evaporate slowly to expel silica and then fume off the excess ofH2SO4. Ignite to about 700 C. Add 1 g of anhydrous Na2CO
32、3 to the residue, cover the crucible, and fuse over a burner or in amuffle furnace until a clear melt is obtained. Dissolve the cool melt in the reserved filtrate from 11.3, remove and wash the crucibleand cover. Transfer the solution to a 200-mL volumetric flask, dilute to volume, and mix. If the s
33、olution is cloudy at this stage,indicating the presence of titania, filter a portion of the solution through a dry paper into a dry beaker. Use this solution for theatomic absorption measurements, if the aluminum content is between 0.1 % and 2.5 %. For aluminum contents greater than 2.5 %,transfer a
34、 40-mL aliquot to a 200-mL volumetric flask and add 50 mL of background solution and 4 mL of HCl. Dilute to volumeand mix.11.5 Adjustment of Atomic Absorption SpectrometerIn accordance with Practice E663, set the initial instrument parametersto the values in Note 2. Light the burner and aspirate wat
35、er until the instrument comes to thermal equilibrium. Optimize instrumentresponse by adjusting the wavelength, fuel, air, burner, and nebulizer while aspirating the highest calibration solution to obtainmaximum absorption or absorbance. Aspirate water until a steady signal is obtained and adjust the
36、 instrument readout system toobtain zero absorption or absorbance.NOTE 4The manufacturers instructions for igniting and extinguishing the nitrous oxide-acetylene burner should be strictly followed to avoid possibleexplosion hazards. Tinted safety glasses should be worn by the operator whenever the f
37、lame is burning.11.6 MeasurementsAspirate water until the initial reading is again obtained. Aspirate the calibration solutions in the order ofincreasing absorption or absorbance starting with the zero calibration solution. When a stable response is obtained for eachsolution, record the readings. As
38、pirate the test solutions at the proper points in the calibration series. Aspirate water between eachcalibration and test solution. Repeat all measurements at least two more times.12. Calculation12.1 If necessary, convert the average of the readings for each calibration solution to absorbance. Obtai
39、n the net absorbance ofeach calibration solution by subtracting the average absorbance of the zero calibration solution. In a similar manner, obtain the netabsorbance of the test solution by subtracting the absorbance of the reagent blank solution.12.2 Prepare a calibration curve by plotting the net
40、 absorbance values of the calibration solutions against micrograms ofaluminum per milliliter.12.3 Convert the net absorbance values of the sample solution to micrograms of aluminum per milliliter, by means of thecalibration curve.12.4 Calculate the mass fraction (%) of aluminum as follows:Aluminum,%
