19、n of dry matter and water content on a mass basis Gravimetric method ISO 11466:1995, Soil quality Extraction of trace elements soluble in aqua regia 3 Principle Arsenic, antimony and selenium are extracted from soil samples with aqua regia according to ISO 11466. Arsenic, antimony and selenium are d

20、etermined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), in which discrete volumes of sample solution are dispensed into a graphite tube. By increasing the temperature of this graphite tube stepwise, the processes of drying, thermal decomposition of the matrix and thermal dissociation int

21、o free atoms occur. The resulting absorption signal should (under optimum conditions) be a sharp symmetrical peak proportional to the element concentration in solution. Alternatively, arsenic, antimony and selenium are determined by the hydride-generation technique (HGAAS). Arsenic and antimony are

22、first pre-reduced in the aqua regia extract by a mixture of ascorbic acid and potassium iodide. Selenium is pre-reduced by hydrochloric acid at an elevated temperature. After that, the hydride formation occurs by reaction with a sodium borohydride solution. The hydrides are carried from the solution

23、 by an argon stream into a heated quartz cell and decomposed at 900 C and then the atom concentration for arsenic and antimony is measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. There are several commercial systems available where the reaction of hydride formation occurs continuously (continuous flow or

24、 DIN ISO 20280:2010-05 4 flow injection systems) or stepwise (batch systems). All these techniques can be used, but adaptation of the working steps and reagent concentrations according to the advice of the manufacturer may be necessary. Refer to the manufacturers recommendation for wavelengths and s

25、pectral band widths or see Table 1.

Use demineralised water or water

26、 distilled from an all-glass apparatus conforming to Grade 2 of ISO 3696. The water used for blank determinations and for preparing reagents and standard solutions shall have element concentrations that are negligible compared with the lowest concentration to be determined in the sample solutions. 4

Dissolve 0,30 g of palladium nitrate Pd(NO3)2 and 0,36 g of magnesium nitrate Mg(NO3)26 H2O in a

31、 100 ml volumetric flask, fill to the mark with 0,5 mol/l nitric acid (4.4) and mix. DIN ISO 20280:2010-05 5 Alternatively, prepare the palladium/magnesium nitrate modifier solution as follows: Dissolve, in a 250 ml beaker, 0,14 g of palladium powder in 3,5 ml of nitric acid (4.3) and add 10 l of hy

32、drochloric acid (4.1). Evaporate the solution to near dryness on a water bath or hot plate, then add 0,36 g of magnesium nitrate Mg(NO3)2 6 H2O.

33、d mix. 10 l of this solution are equal to 14 g of Pd and 36 g of Mg(NO3)2. NOTE The recommendations of instrument manufacturers may propose different modifier-solution concentrations.

38、 that they remove the need to handle toxic metals.
