4、 used when the concentrations of total recoverable elements are to be determined from a waste sample.Total recoverable elements may or may not be are often not equivalent to total elements, depending on the element sought andelemental content, because of the solubility of the speciated forms of the
5、element in the sample matrix. Recovery from refractorysample matrices, such as soils, is usually significantly less than total concentrations of the elements present.NOTE 1This practice has been used successfully for oily sludges and a municipal digested sludge standard Environmental Protection Agen

The practice may be applicable to some elements not listed above, such as arsenic, barium, selenium, cobalt, magnesium, and calcium.Refractory elements such as silicon, silver, and titanium, as well as organo-mercuryorgano-mercury, are not solubilized by this practice.1.3 Thi

15、st Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States14. Summary of Practice4.1 A weighed portion of the waste sample is mixed with 1 + 1 nitric acid (HNO3) in an Erlenmeyer flask. The flask is heatedon an electric hot plate (Method A) or electric digestion block (Method B) for 2 h at 90 to 95C95 C to disso
16、lve the elements ofinterest.After cooling, the contents of the flask are diluted with reagent water and filtered, and the filtrate is made up to appropriatevolume for subsequent analysis.5. Significance and Use5.1 A knowledge of the inorganic composition of a waste is often required for the selectio
17、n of appropriate waste disposalpractices. Solid waste may exist in a variety of forms and contain a range of organic and inorganic constituents. This practicedescribes a digestion procedure which dissolves many of the toxic inorganic constituents and produces a solution suitable fordetermination of
18、total recoverable contents by such techniques as atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy,and so forth. The relatively large sample size aids representative sampling of heterogenous wastes. The relatively small dilutionfactor allows lower detection limits than most other sample d
19、igestion methods. Volatile metals, such as lead and mercury, are notlost during this digestion procedure, however organo-lead and organo-mercury may not be completely digested. Hydride-formingelements, such as arsenic and selenium, may be partially lost. Samples with total metal contents greater tha
20、n 5 % may give lowresults. The analyst is responsible for determining whether this practice is applicable to the solid waste being tested.METHOD A HOT PLATE6.
