12、 20 l Switz Printed in Switzerland 0 IS0 IS0 10566:1994(E) Introduction Aluminium occurs in a variety of types of compounds in nature, and can be found in acid, neutral and alkaline solutions. It can also form colloidal polymeric solutions and gels, as well as flocculant precipitates, all based on a
13、quated positive ions or hydroxylated aluminates. In as addition, fluoride, it can form chloride and complexes with organic sulfate, most but not all aci of ds and which with ions such are soluble. Aluminium can also form lattice compounds with oxygen (and hydroxyl species), silicon, and some metals.
14、 Although insoluble, some of these compounds, notably the clays, micas and zeolites, can be found as fine suspended particles in rivers. Although they contain aluminium, these in- soluble lattice compounds are not usually considered as aluminium com- pounds in the context of the water cycle. The met
15、hod described in this International Standard is restricted to the determination of the aquated cations and other forms of aluminium readily converted to that cationic form by acidification. The pretreatment with nitric acids is identical to that described in other International Standards using spect

17、e 1.1 Type of sample The method is applicable to the analysis of potable waters, ground waters, and lightly polluted surface and sea waters. 1.2 Substance determined The method determines filterable (dissolved) and acid-soluble aluminium. 1.3 Range The method includes low range determination up to 1
18、00 pg/l Al with 50 mm cells and high range determi- nation up to 500 pg/l Al with 10 mm cells. The effec- tive range depends on the sensitivity of the spectrometer and can be extended upwards by taking smaller test portions. 1.4 Limit of detection The limit of detection is 2 pg/l when cells of optic
19、al path length 50 mm and a 25 ml test portion are used. 1.5 Sensitivity An aluminium concentration of 100 pg/l gives an absorbance of about 0,20 + 0,05 optical absorption units, using a 25 ml test portion and cells of optical path length 10 mm. 1.6 Precision If not specified, the precision of volume

NOTE 4 This solution is close to saturation. It should be kept above 15 “C to prevent crystallization. Some brands of hexamine contain dust part

36、bottles. Clean the sample bottles and filtration device according to the procedure described in clause 5. 6.1 Filtrable aluminium Immediately after sampling, filter the sample through a membrane filter (5.2). Acidify the filtrate by adding 0,30 ml of nitric acid (4.1) per 100 ml of sample. 6.2 Acid-
37、soluble aluminium Add 0,30 ml of nitric acid (4.1) per 100 ml of sample. The pH shall be I,2 to 1,5, if not, add more acid. Store for at least 1 h at room temperature and filter the sample through a membrane filter (5.2). For special purposes other pretreatment procedures may be used (see clause 7).
38、 NOTE 8 Failure of proper acidification of the sample leads to incorrect results because the pH during reaction and The most important interference with micro- determinations of aluminium is the release of alu- minium from the surface of the vessels used for sampling and handling. In particular, alu
39、minium is easily leached from most items of glassware. Thus, glassware shall not be used for aluminium determi- nations in the range below 50 pg/l Al. It is strongly recommended to use only plastics laboratory ware pretreated as described in clause 5. Fluoride ions form stable complexes with alumini
40、um, thus preventing the formation of the aluminium- pyrocatechol violet complex. The resulting negative bias interferes especially at low aluminium concen- trations. This effect is almost totally eliminated by the addition of magnesium ions (see 4.4) which form relatively strong complexes with fluor
41、ide. Iron forms a coloured complex with pyrocatechol vio- let. Interference effects caused by iron are minimized by reduction to the ferrous state followed by com- plexing with I,1 0-phenanthroline. This iron complex gives rise to a very small absorbance at 580 nm. I,0 mg/l of iron is equivalent to
42、0,05 pg/l of alu- minium. Coloured compounds, inorganic as well as organic, that give an absorbance at 580 nm generally interfere with this determination, when absorbance exceeds 0,050 cm- I. An oxidative digestion can destroy the coloured species and allow proper determination. Humic substances and
43、 other organic compounds with complexing properties can interfere. Interference is evident when addition of aluminium to the sample gives a smaller increase in absorbance than expected for that additional amount. This kind of interference is eliminated by digestion with H,O, and HNO,. 8 Procedure De
