In the event that signifi-cantly less than 500 ppm lead is expected, a 250-mL high-silica beakermay be used in place of the crucible to accommoda
36、te specimen weights upto 10 g. The size specified will give a concentration of approximately 2 to4 g/mL cadmium in the final diluted solution for paints containingapproximately 100 ppm cadmium, based on the solids. The size specifiedwill give a concentration of approximately 10 to 20 g/mL cobalt in
37、thefinal diluted solution for paints containing approximately 500 ppm cobalt,based on the solids.NOTE 3Recover dried paint films from previously coated substrates(being careful not to remove any underlying material from the substrate)or prepare in the laboratory from liquid samples. For the laborato
38、rypreparation, flow some of the well-mixed sample onto a clean glass plate.The use of a paint draw-down bar is recommended to obtain a uniform wetfilm thickness not exceeding 2 mils (50 m). Allow the film to dry in anoven at 105C for a minimum of 1 h. Scrape the dried film off the glassplate, prefer
39、ably with a single-edge razor blade.9.3 Place the crucible (or beaker) containing the liquidcoating on a hot plate and slowly increase the temperature untilthe material is dried. With some types of coatings, an initialoven-drying at 105C may be necessary to remove solventswithout incurring losses du
40、e to spattering.9.4 When the specimen appears to be dry or when startingwith a dried film, gradually increase the temperature of the hotplate until the material chars.9.5 After charring is complete, place the container in apreheated muffle furnace and ash at 475 to 500C.NOTE 4Ashing at temperatures
41、in excess of 500C may result in theloss of some lead by volatilization.9.6 When the ashing appears to be complete (do not exceed1 to 2 h), remove the crucible or beaker from the muffle furnaceand allow it to cool to room temperature. Break up the ash intofine particles with a glass stirring rod, lea
42、ving the rod with thecontainer through the filtering step.9.7 Add 10 mL of HNO3(1 + 1), taking care to avoid lossesdue to spattering in case the ash reacts vigorously with the acid.Heat carefully on a hot plate until 2 to 3 mL of solution remain.Add an additional 10 mLof HNO3(1 + 1) and continue hea
43、tingon the hot plate until less than 5 mL of the solution remains.9.8 Filter the solution through medium-porosity filter paperinto a 50-mL volumetric flask. If the filtrate is not clear, refilterthrough fine-porosity filter paper. Wash the container threetimes with 2.5 mL of hot ammonium acetate sol
44、ution (6.3),each time transferring the washings to the filter paper. Wash thefilter paper several times with water. Adjust the volume to 50mL with water and mix.9.9 Aspirate the test solution and determine the absorbancein the same manner in which the instrument was calibrated.Determine the concentr
45、ation of lead, cadmium, or cobalt inmicrograms per millilitre from the calibration curve. If theabsorbance is above the range covered by the calibration curve,dilute an aliquot of the sample solution to a suitable volumewith ammonium acetate diluting solution.NOTE 5For maximum accuracy, calibration
46、and standardization (Sec-tion 8) should be completed just prior to aspirating the sample solution.NOTE 6The method of standard additions may be used to improve theaccuracy of the analysis. This method is particularly recommended for usewith unknown samples where matrix effects may be potentially sig
47、nifi-cant. For a detailed description of the procedure and calculations used inthe method of standard additions, consult a standard text on atomicabsorption spectroscopy or the instruction manual provided by theinstrument manufacturer.10.
