Procedure7.1 Sample Preparation:7.1.
17、1 Air dry the soil to a constant mass out of directsunlight at normal ambient humidity and 20 to 25C (roomtemperature).7.1.2 Disaggregate the soil using a rubber tipped pestle andmortar, and sieve the soil through a No. 10 sieve to remove thecoarser stones and pebbles. Discard only those particles t
18、hatare not passable through the No. 10 sieve.7.1.3 Grind the soil using a pestle and mortar.7.1.4 Sieve the soil through a 30 mesh sieve. Ensure that allof the particles are ground to pass through the sieve openingsand are collected prior to continuing.7.1.5 Thoroughly mix the collected soil fractio
19、n and draw a2.00 gm sample for each test replicate.7.1.6 Thoroughly clean the sieves, pestles, and mortars withlaboratory soap and water followed by an isopropanol rinsebetween samples.7.2 Extraction of Soil:7.2.1 Weigh out exactly 2.00 g of soil into a 11.1 mL (6dram) screw top glass vial equipped
20、with a TFE-fluorocarbon-lined cap.7.2.2 With a volumetric pipette, introduce 10.0 mL ofacetonitrile to the soil, and screw on the closures tightly.7.2.3 Place the vials on a vortex mixer for 1 min followedby placing the sample in an ultrasonic bath for 18 h.7.2.4 The ultrasonic bath should be mainta
21、ined near ambi-ent temperature to minimize loss of tetryl due to thermaldegradation. Remove the samples from the bath and allowthem to stand for a minimum of 15 min to allow the largerparticles to settle.7.2.5 With a volumetric pipet, remove a 5.00 mL aliquot ofthe suspension and mix it with a 5.00
22、mL of 5 g/L aqueousCaCl2in a glass scintillation vial. Shake the vials and allow tostand for 15 min.7.2.6 Filter about 5 mL of the clarified sample into a cleanscintillation vial by forcing the supernatant through a 0.5 mfilter usinga3mLdisposable syringe. The first millilitre isdiscarded and the re
23、mainder saved for analysis. Place thefiltered sample in an amber injection vial for analysis.7.3 Liquid Chromatographic Analysis:7.3.1 Accomplish the liquid chromatograph separations iso-cratically by the use of a 5 m, reversed-phase LC-18 andLC-CN cartridge column, with a 50/50 methanol/water mobil
24、ephase, at a flow of 1.5 mL/min. The LC-CN cartridge columnis used for confirmation of the analytical results.7.3.2 Make quantifications at the 254 nm wavelength.7.3.3 Base quantitation on response factors established byreplicate analysis of a single high range standard. Dilutestandards, controls, a
25、nd blanks 1:1 with aqueous CaCl2prior toanalysis.7.3.4 The elution time for the total assay is less than 15 min.8. Calculation8.1 Experience indicates that a linear calibration curve withzero intercept is appropriate for each compound. Therefore,calibration is accomplished by repeated analysis of a
26、highrange standard. The mean response (R) for each compoundobtained in the peak height mode is calculated for each analyte.The response factors ( RF) are then obtained by dividing eachR by the known solution concentration (C) for that compoundin units of g/L.RF 5 R/C (1)8.2 The concentrations of ana
27、lytes in the extracts are ob-tained by dividing the response of each analyte ( Ra)bytheappropriate response factor ( RFa).Ca5 Ra/RFa(2)8.3 The concentration in soil (Xa), on a g/g basis, is thenobtained by multiplying the solution concentration by the totalvolume of extract (0.010 L) and dividing by
28、 the actual mass ofdried soil used (M).Xa5 Ca3 0.010!/M (3)9. Report9.1 For each soil tested, report the following information:9.1.1 The sample identification,9.1.2 The specific analyte,9.1.3 The detection limit, and9.1.4 The concentration of explosive found in g/g of drysoil.10. Precision and Bias1
29、0.1 Precision:10.1.1 Within-Laboratory PrecisionThe within-laboratory standard deviations (also called repeatability) for theseven analytes were obtained by means of a collaborative test.The test results were obtained from seven laboratories conduct-ing analysis of eight soils in duplicate. Four of

31、ates Pharmacopeiaand National Formulary, U.S. Pharmaceutical Convention, Inc. (USPC), Rockville,MD.D5143062were field contaminated soils and four were spiked soils. Thewithin-laboratory standard deviation was obtained from theagreement of duplicates4.Within-laboratory precision estimatesare presente
32、d in Table 1. Therefore, the results of two properlyconducted tests by the same operator with the same equipmenton duplicate samples should not be considered suspect unlessthey differ by more than the values presented in the within lab,2ds column of Table 1 (See Footnote 7).4The data in Table 1satis
33、fy the 1s and d2s requirements outlined in Practice C 670.10.1.2 Between-Laboratory PrecisionThe between-laboratory precision (also called reproducibility) was obtainedfrom the results of a seven-laboratory collaborative test. Thebetween-laboratory precision estimates (see Table 1) wereobtained by t
34、he method described in Footnote 8.5Therefore,the results of two properly conducted tests by different opera-tors with the different equipment on duplicate samples shouldnot be considered suspect unless they differ by more than thevalues presented in the between lab, 2ds column of Table 1.10.2 BiasTh
35、e procedure in this test method for measuringthe explosive content of soils has no bias because the value ofthe explosive residue content is only defined in terms of the testmethod. However, to aid the user of this standard in determin-ing bias relative to other methods, the percent recovery wasobta
36、ined from regression analysis of the four spiked soilsanalyzed in duplicate in the collaborative test described above.Results are presented in Table 1.11.
