Significance and Use4.1 A properlycorrectly designed, installed and developed groundwater monitoring well, constructed in accordance withPractic
23、e D5092, should facilitate collection of samples of groundwater that can be analyzed to determine both the physical andchemical properties of that sample. Samples collected from these wells that require analysis for dissolved constituents should befiltered in the field prior to chemical preservation
24、 and shipment to the laboratory for analysis.5. Purpose of Groundwater Sample Filtration5.1 Groundwater samples may be filtered to separate a defined fraction of the sample for analysis.6. Timing of Groundwater Sample Filtration6.1 Groundwater samples should be filtered immediately upon collection a
25、nd prior to chemical preservation of the sample.(1)Filtration should be completed in as short a time as possiblepracticable while minimizing sample aeration, agitation, pressurechanges, temperature changes and prolonged contact with ambient air.NOTE 1The pressure change that occurs when the sample i
26、s brought to the surface may cause changes in sample chemistry which include losses ofdissolved gases and precipitation of dissolved constituents such as metals. When handling samples during filtration operations, additional turbulence andmixing of the sample with air can cause aeration and oxidatio
27、n of dissolved ferrous to ferric iron. Ferric iron rapidly precipitates as amorphous ironhydroxide and can absorb other dissolved trace metals (21).)3.7. Groundwater Sample Filtration Procedures7.1 Preparation for Groundwater Sample FiltrationThe groundwater sample filtration process consists of thr
28、ee phases:selection of filtration method; selection and pretreatment of filter media; and groundwater sample filtration prior to transfer intothe sample container.7.1.1 Filtration Method Selection CriteriaAwide variety of methods are available for field filtration of groundwater samples.In general,
29、filtration equipment can be divided into positive pressure filtration and vacuum (negative pressure) filtration methods,each with several different filtration medium configurations. Groundwater samples undergo pressure changes as they are broughtfrom the saturated zone (where groundwater is under pr
30、essure greater than atmospheric) to the surface (where it is underatmospheric pressure), resulting in changes in sample chemistry. Vacuum filtration methods further exacerbate pressure changes.For this reason, positive pressure filtration methods are preferred. Table 1 presents equipment options ava
31、ilable for positivepressure and vacuum filtration of groundwater samples. Fig. 1 presents examples of common filter characteristics and applications.3 The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced on www.astm.org.3 The boldface numbers given in parentheses refer to a list of re

38、isposable equipment and quality control measures.7.1.2.18 The filtration method used for any given sampling program should be documented in the site-specific sampling andanalysis plan and should be consistent throughout the life of the sampling program to permit comparison of data generated. If anim
39、proved method of filtration is determined to be appropriate for a sampling program, the sampling and analysis plan should berevised and implemented in lieu of continuation of the existing filtration method. In this event, the effect on comparability of dataneeds to be examined and quantified to allo
40、w proper data analysis and interpretation (Note 4).NOTE 4Statistical methods may need to be implemented to determine the significance of any changes in data resulting from a change in filtrationmethod.7.1.3 Filtration Equipment Materials of ConstructionFiltration equipment and filtration media are a
41、vailable in a wide varietyof materials of construction. Materials of construction should be evaluated (for example, by contacting manufacturers, conductingleach tests or collecting equipment blanks) to minimize sample bias:7.1.3.1 Potential for negative bias due to adsorption of constituents from th
42、e sample (21);7.1.3.2 Potential for positive bias due to desorption or leaching of constituents into the sample (3-2-65);7.1.3.3 Reduction of the effective filter pore size caused by clogging when filtering water containing suspended particles; (65)and7.1.3.4 Aeration of the sample leading to precip
43、itation of some constituents (for example, ferric hydroxide) (32).7.1.4 Selection and Pretreatment of Filter MediaFiltration media are manufactured with specific pore size diameters designedto permit particles of a selected size to be retained by the filter medium. Filtration media must is to be sel
44、ected after consideringfilter pore size, and materials of construction. Groundwater samples requiring field filtration must are to be filtered using a mediumwith a pore size that meets the requirements of the approved sampling and analysis plan.7.1.5 Preconditioning of the Filtration Medium:TABLE 1

Purposes of filter preconditioning include: tominimize positive sample bias
47、 associated with residues that may exist on the filter surface or constituents that may leach from thefilter; and to create a uniform wetting front across the entire surface of the filter to prevent channel flow through the filter andincrease the efficiency of the filter surface area. Preconditionin
48、g the filter medium may not completely prevent sorptive losses fromthe sample as it passes through the filter medium.7.1.5.2 In most cases, filter preconditioning should be done at the wellhead (Note 5) immediately prior to use. Somemanufacturers prerinse filters prior to sale. These filters are typ
49、ically marked “prerinsed”“pre-rinsed” on filter packaging andprovide directions for any if additional field preconditioning required is needed prior to filter use.NOTE 5Some filters require preconditioning procedures that can only be done in the laboratory (for example, GF/F filters must are to be baked priorto use).7.1.5.3 The procedure used to precondition the filter medium is determined by the following: the design of the filter (that is,filter capsules, or disks), the material of construction of the filter medium, the configuration of the f
