8、ntiometrically using abromide ion-selective electrode in conjunction with a single-junction, sleeve-type reference electrode. Potentials are read ona pH meter having an expanded millivolt scale capable of beingread to the nearest 0.1 mV, or a selective ion meter having adirect concentration scale fo
9、r bromide. For less precise work, apH meter having a millivolt scale capable of being read to thenearest 1.0 mV is adequate, however, no supporting data areavailable.4.2 The electrodes are calibrated in known bromide solu-tions and the concentrations of unknowns are determined insolutions with the s
10、ame background. In most cases, addition ofan ionic strength adjustor to both standards and samples issufficient to maintain constant background ionic strength. Forsamples above 0.1 M in ionic strength, prepare standardsolutions similar to the sample composition.5. Significance and Use5.1 By analysis
11、 for bromide in water, wastewater, andbrackish waters, it is possible to evaluate the origin of thewater, its potential as a source of bromide, and its conditionwith regard to pollution.6. Interferences6.1 Strongly reducing solutions and solutions containingions which form insoluble silver salts may
12、 coat the electrodemembrane. These may be removed by polishing the membranesurface. Sulfide ion and cyanide ion both poison the electrode,and should be removed (see Section 11).6.2 Halide ions form complexes with some metals. Sincethe electrode responds only to free bromide ions, the presenceof any
13、complexing agents lowers the measured concentrations.Concentrations of free metal ions causing a 10 % error of abromide concentration of 8.1 mg/L are bismuth+3, 80 mg/L;1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D19 on Waterand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D19.05 o

33、cted water matrices included natural waters,ground waters, and tap water. These data on precision and biasmay not apply to waters of other matrices.12.3 BiasRecoveries of known amounts of bromide fromreagent water and selected water matrices were as shown inTable 1.12.4 This information is derived f
34、rom round-robin testing,in which five laboratories, including eight operators, partici-pated. Of the eight sets of data ranked, as described in PracticeD 2777, none was rejected. One operator submitted reagentwater data only. One outlier data point within each set was alsorejected. Four sample level
35、s were run on three days and blankswere obtained for the water used.12.5 This section on precision and bias conforms to PracticeD 2777 77, which was in place at the time of collaborativetesting. Under the allowances made in 1.4 of PracticeD 2777 98, these precision and bias data do meet existingrequ
36、irements for interlaboratory studies of Committee D19 testmethods.13. Quality Control13.1 In order to be certain that analytical values obtainedusing these test methods are valid and accurate within theconfidence limits of the test, the following QC procedures mustbe followed when analyzing bromide.
37、13.2 Calibration and Calibration Verification13.2.1 Analyze at least three working standards containingconcentrations of bromide that bracket the expected sampleconcentration prior to analysis of samples to calibrate theinstrument.13.2.2 Verify instrument calibration after standardization byanalyzin
38、g a standard at the concentration of one of thecalibration standards. Alternately, the concentration of a mid-range standard should fall within 6 15 % of the knownconcentration.13.2.3 If calibration cannot be verified, recalibrate theinstrument.13.3 Initial Demonstration of Laboratory Capability13.3
39、.1 If a laboratory has not performed the test before, or ifthere has been a major change in the measurement system, forexample, new analyst, new instrument, and so forth, a precisionand bias study must be performed to demonstrate laboratorycapability.13.3.2 Analyze seven replicates of a standard sol
40、utionprepared from an Independent Reference Material containing amid-range concentration of bromide. The matrix and chemistryof the solution should be equivalent to the solution used in thecollaborative study. Each replicate must be taken through thecomplete analytical test method including any samp
41、le preser-vation and pretreatment steps. The replicates may be inter-spersed with samples.13.3.3 Calculate the mean and standard deviation of theseven values and compare to the acceptable ranges of bias insection 12.1. This study should be repeated until the recoveriesare within the limits given in
42、section 12.1. If a concentrationother than the recommended concentration is used, refer toPractice D5847 for information on applying the F test and t testin evaluating the acceptability of the mean and standarddeviation.13.4 Laboratory Control Sample (LCS)13.4.1 To ensure that the test method is in
43、control, analyzea LCS containing a mid-range concentration of bromide witheach batch or 10 samples. If large numbers of samples areanalyzed in the batch, analyze the LCS after every 10 samples.The LCS must be taken through all of the steps of the analyticalmethod including sample preservation and pr
44、etreatment. Theresult obtained for the LCS shall fall within 6 15%oftheknown concentration.13.4.2 If the result is not within these limits, analysis ofsamples is halted until the problem is corrected, and either allthe samples in the batch must be reanalyzed, or the results mustbe qualified with an
45、indication that they do not fall within theperformance criteria of the test method.13.5 Method Blank13.5.1 Analyze a reagent water test blank with each batch.The concentration of bromide found in the blank should be lessthan 0.5 times the lowest calibration standard. If the concen-tration of bromide
46、 is found above this level, analysis ofsamples is halted until the contamination is eliminated, and ablank shows no contamination at or above this level, or theresults must be qualified with an indication that they do not fallwithin the performance criteria of the test method.13.6 Matrix Spike (MS)1
47、3.6.1 To check for interferences in the specific matrixbeing tested, perform a MS on at least one sample from eachbatch by spiking an aliquot of the sample with a knownconcentration of bromide and taking it through the analyticalmethod.13.6.2 The spike concentration plus the background concen-tratio
48、n of bromide must not exceed the high calibrationstandard. The spike must produce a concentration in the spikedsample that is 2 to 5 times the bromide concentration in theunspiked sample, or 10 to 50 times the detection limit of thetest method, whichever is greater.13.6.3 Calculate the percent recov
