United States1spectrometry (ICP-AES) using simultaneous, or sequential multielemental determination of elements. The solution is introducedto the ICP instrument by free aspiration or by an optional pe
16、ristaltic pump. The concentrations of the trace metals are thencalculated by comparing the emission intensities from the sample with the emission intensities of the standards used in calibration.5. Significance and Use5.1 The presence and concentration of various metallic elements in a petroleum cok
17、e are major factors in determining thesuitability of the coke for various end uses. This test method provides a means of determining the concentrations of these metallicelements in a coke sample.5.2 The test method provides a standard procedure for use by buyer and seller in the commercial transfer
18、of petroleum coke todetermine whether the petroleum coke meets the specifications of the purchasing party.6. Interferences6.1 SpectralFollow the instrument manufacturers operating guide to develop and apply correction factors to compensate forthe interferences. To apply interference corrections, all
19、 concentrations shall be within the previously established linear responserange of each element.6.2 Spectral interferences are caused by: (1) overlap of a spectral line from another element; (2) unresolved overlap of molecularband spectra; (3) background contribution from continuous or recombination
20、 phenomena; and (4) stray light from the line emissionof high-concentration elements. Spectral overlap can be compensated for by computer-correcting the raw data after monitoring andmeasuring the interfering element. Unresolved overlap requires selection of an alternate wavelength. Background contri
21、bution andstray light can usually be compensated for by a background correction adjacent to the analyte line.6.3 Physical interferences are effects associated with the sample nebulization and transport processes. Changes in viscosity andsurface tension can cause significant inaccuracies, especially
22、in samples containing high dissolved solids or high acidconcentrations. If physical interferences are present, they shall be reduced by diluting the sample, by using a peristaltic pump, orby using the standard additions method. Another problem that can occur with high dissolved solids is salts build
23、up at the tip ofthe nebulizer, which can affect aerosol flow rate and cause instrumental drift. This problem can be controlled by wetting the argonprior to nebulization, using a tip washer, or diluting the sample.6.4 See Practice D7260 for explanation of ICP-AES interferences and other operational d
