6、ished in March 2010. This document supersedes SANS 5203:2004 (edition 3.1). A vertical line in the margin shows where the text has been technically modified by amendment No. 2. SANS 5203:2010 Edition 3.2 1 Water Copper content 1 Scope and field of application This standard specifies a method of dete
7、rmining the copper content of water and wastewater, using an air-acetylene flame and direct flame atomic absorption. The method is applicable to the determination of copper in the concentration range 0,02 mg/L to 5,0 mg/L. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable f

SANS 6168, Water Pretreatment for metal analysis. 3 Principle The pretreated sample is aspirated into an air-acetylene flame under oxidizing conditions and the absorbances measured at 324,7 nm is compared wi
11、th the absorbances of copper standards measured under the same conditions. 4 Reagents NOTE Unless otherwise specified, only use water that complies with the requirements of SANS 3696 and reagents of analytical reagent grade. SANS 5203:2010 Edition 3.2 2 4.1 Nitric acid (HNO3) Concentrated (d at 25 /
12、25 C = 1,42). 4.2 Dilute nitric acid 1+1 HNO3. 4.3 Acidified water Containing 1,5 mL of HNO3(see 4.1) per litre. 4.4 Copper stock solution (1 000 mg/L) 4.4.1 Obtain a commercially available stock solution or copper (1 000 mg/L) of guaranteed quality, or prepare the stock solution as described in 4.4
13、.2. 4.4.2 Dissolve 1 000 g of copper metal in 15 mL of the dilute HNO3(see 4.2) and dilute with water to 1 000 mL in a volumetric flask. 4.5 Copper working stock solution (100 mg/L) Pipette 10,0 mL of the stock solution (see 4.4) into a 100 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with the acidifi
14、ed water (see 4.3). 4.6 Copper standard solutions (0,02 mg/L to 5,0 mg/L) Prepare at least three copper standard solutions that will bracket the expected concentration of the sample by dilution of the working stock solution (see 4.5), using the acidified water (see 4.3) as the diluent. 5 Apparatus 5
15、.1 Atomic absorption spectrophotometer, for use at 324,7 nm. 5.2 Air-acetylene burner, suitable for attachment to the spectrophotometer (see 5.1). 5.3 Copper hollow-cathode lamp. 5.4 Oxidant, air, dried and filtered. 5.5 Fuel, acetylene, standard commercial grade. (Replace the cylinder when the cyli
16、nder pressure drops to 700 kPa.) CAUTION: Never allow the operating pressure of acetylene to exceed 105 kPa. 5.6 Pressure-reducing regulators, for the supply of fuel and oxidant to the instrument at the appropriate levels recommended by the manufacturer. 5.7 Glassware. Where applicable, only use bur
17、ettes, pipettes and volumetric flasks that comply with the requirements for class A items as specified in SANS 111, SANS 112, SANS 115 and SANS 128, as relevant. Amdt 1; amdt 2 SANS 5203:2010 Edition 3.2 3 6 Sample pretreatment Pretreat the sample, a blank (see 4.3) and at least one standard in acco
18、rdance with SANS 6168 in order to analyse for the appropriate form of metal, i.e soluble, insoluble or total metal. NOTE For the purposes of legislation or specifications relating to this method, pretreat the sample for recovery of total copper, unless specifically indicated otherwise. 7 Procedure 7
19、.1 Instrument operation NOTE The differences between makes and models of atomic absorption spectrophotometers make it impracticable to formulate detailed operating instructions. Follow the manufacturers instructions for the specific instrument but, in general, proceed in accordance with the instruct
20、ions given in 7.1.1 to 7.1.10. 7.1.1 Turn on the instrument, install the copper hollow-cathode lamp (see 5.3) and apply the current recommended by the manufacturer. 7.1.2 Set the wavelength at 324,7 nm and set the slit width in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 7.1.3 Allow the lamp to
21、stabilize for approximately 10 min and then align it to obtain optimum transmission. 7.1.4 Adjust the fine control of the wavelength setting of the monochromator in order to ensure maximum response. 7.1.5 Install the air-acetylene burner (see 5.2). 7.1.6 Check and, if necessary, adjust the gas flow
22、rates to ensure that they are at the level specified for the instrument. 7.1.7 Turn on the air supply and then the acetylene flow, and ignite the mixture. 7.1.8 Ensure that the flame is oxidizing (non-luminous with a hazy blue inner core), and then zero the instrument in the absorbance mode. 7.1.9 A
23、spirate a standard that will give an absorbance exceeding 0,2, and optimize the burner position until the maximum absorbance value is recorded. The instrument is now ready for calibration and analysis. 7.1.10 After analysis, extinguish the flame by turning off the acetylene flow first. When the flam
24、e is extinguished, turn off the air supply. 7.2 Instrument calibration 7.2.1 Aspirate the analyte blank (see 4.3) and zero the instrument. 7.2.2 Aspirate each of the standard solutions (see 4.6), using the acidified water (see 4.3) to flush the nebulizer between aspirations, and record their respect
25、ive absorbances. SANS 5203:2010 Edition 3.2 4 7.2.3 Construct a calibration curve, using the standard concentrations and their respective absorbances. 7.3 Sample analysis 7.3.1 Aspirate the pretreated blank, standard(s) and sample (see clause 6), using the acidified water (see 4.3) to flush the nebu
26、lizer between aspirations. 7.3.2 Record the absorbances and determine the concentrations by referring to the calibration curve as constructed in 7.2.3, or record the concentrations directly if an instrument with concentration mode is used. 7.3.3 Correct the results for the sample and the control sta
27、ndard(s) by subtracting the result for the pretreated blank, if applicable, and verify the absence of interference due to the pretreatment method by confirmation of the true concentration(s) of the control standard(s), 8 Expression of results So express the result as to indicate the form of metal an
