25、ilizers with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) after extraction with aqua regia. Limits of quantification are dependent on the sample matrix as well as on the instrument, but can roughly be expected to be 0,3 mg/kg for Cd and 1 mg/kg for Cr, Ni and Pb. NOTE Due to sig

26、nificant interference from Cu, Fe and Mn, no valid results can be reported using this method for fertilizer matrices containing high concentrations ( 10 %) of these micro-nutrients. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and a

The concentrations in the extrac

30、t are measured by inductively coupled plasmaatomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), with axial or radial viewing. 5 Sampling and sample preparation Sampling is not part of the method specified in this European Standard. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be

31、 carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 6 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade. Commercially available stock solutions shall be replaced according to the specifications from the supplier or after one year if prepared in the laboratory from available salts. Standard solutions

Both single-element stock solutions and multi-element stock solutions with adequate specification stating t

35、he acid used and the preparation technique are commercially available. It is recommended to use commercially available standard stock solutions for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead. 6.6 Working standard solutions. Depending on the scope, different working standard solutions may be necessary. In ge

36、neral, when combining elements in working standard solutions, their chemical compatibility shall be regarded. Spectral interferences from other elements present in working standard solutions also need to be considered. Various combinations of elements at different concentrations may be used, provide

NOTE In equal concentrations (in mg/l), cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are compatible in a multi-element standard solution for the determination by ICP-AES for th

38、is application. 6.6.1 Working standard solution I, = 100 mg/l for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead. Dilute 10,0 ml of each standard stock solution of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead (6.5) to 100,0 ml with the mixed acid solution (6.4) in the same 100 ml flask. If non-equal concentrations of cad

39、mium, chromium, nickel and lead are needed, dilute the required volumes into 100,0 ml. This solution is used to prepare spiked test solutions and standard and calibration solutions. 6.6.2 Working standard solution II, = 10 mg/l for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead. Dilute 10,0 ml of the working st

40、andard solution I of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead (6.6.1) to 100,0 ml with the mixed acid solution (6.4) in a 100 ml flask. If non-equal concentrations of cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are needed, dilute the require volume from the standard stock solutions (6.5) into 100,0 ml. This soluti

41、on is used to prepare spiked test solutions and calibration solutions. 7 Apparatus 7.1 Common laboratory glassware. 7.2 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 1 mg. 7.3 Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, with axial or radial viewing of the plasma and with sui

42、table background correction. The settings of the working conditions (e.g. gas flows, RF or plasma power, sample uptake rate, integration time and number of replicates) shall be optimized according to the manufacturers instructions. Radial viewing of the plasma may be used if it can be shown that the

43、 limits of quantification for cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead are below the required legal limit values. The use of axial orientation of the viewing optics requires good control of the matrix effects coming from “easily ionisable elements“ (i.e. the influence of easily ionisable elements in varyi

44、ng concentrations on the signal intensities of the analytes).

45、 achieved by adding caesium-chloride solution (CsCl). In general, matrix matching of calibration solutions or calibration by standard additions with several calibration standards will correct accurately for these matrix effects. Spike recovery of one known standard combined with external calibration

46、 can, if used properly, also correct sufficiently for matrix effects (see 8.1). Correction by internal standardization is also a good option, but the accuracy of the measurements after internal standard correction should be validated properly prior to use on unknown fertilizer samples. 7.4 Dilutor.

For matrix matching, additive matrix effects will be corrected for when the added matrix is the cause of the matrix effect. The main drawback of calibration by standard addition with several standar
