19、unds of mercury may be present. Mercury can also accumulate in sedimentand sludge.In order to fully decompose all of the mercury compounds, a digestion procedure is necessary. Digestion can beomitted only if it is certain that the mercury concentration can be measured without this pre-treatment.The

It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and toensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.IMPORTANT It is

22、absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this International Standardare carried out by suitably qualified staff.1ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for the determination of mercury in drinking, surface, ground andrain water using atomic fluorescence spectrometry.NOTE T

28、s in which atoms are excited by the absorption of a beam ofelectromagnetic radiation. The excited species then relax to the ground state, giving up their excess energy asphotons. Intensity of the photons is measured.An aliquot of sample is digested using chemically generated bromine and bromine chlo

29、ride (BrCl)1,2. This isknown to break down all of the commonly occurring organomercury species to mercury(II). Immediately prior toanalysis, the excess bromine is removed by ascorbic acid (see A.2).Elemental mercury vapour is generated from the digested sample by reduction with tin(II) chloride, and

30、 ispurged from solution by an argon gas carrier stream. Moisture is continually removed from the gas stream andthe mercury vapour is detected by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). The procedure is usuallyautomated by means of an autosampler and control software.4 InterferencesWith mercury there

31、 is a risk that exchange reactions, that is adsorption and desorption, will occur on the wallsof sampling and reaction vessels.Mercury vapour can diffuse through various plastics; this phenomenon needs to be taken into consideration inthe choice of tubing material. Glass or special plastics tubing,

32、e.g. FEP1)tubes, may be used. Silicone tubing,for example, is unsuitable.Suppression effects resulting from quenching of the atomic fluorescence signal may be encountered. Dissolvedgaseous species are usually removed during the digestion stage.The presence of water vapour or aerosol in the fluoresce

33、nce cell may cause suppression due to quenching.Water vapour should be removed from the carrier gas stream using a hygroscopic membrane before enteringthe detector3.Anions which complex strongly with mercury can cause suppression. These include sulfide, iodide andbromide. The potassium bromide - pot

34、assium bromate reagent (5.4) causes no suppression if it is applied asrequired.The noble metals, such as gold, silver and platinum, amalgamate with mercury vapour and, therefore, maycause suppression.Volatile organics do not cause interference with the AFS method4.5 Reagents and standardsReagents an
