9、andards Policy Committee. It describes methods for the determination of impurity elements in high purity copper cathode designated Cu-CATH-1, each method being published as a separate Part. The methods are based on those previously issued in the Draft for Development series DD95-1 to DD95-7. Theinfo
10、rmation and experience gained from the practical application of DD95have been taken into account in the methods in BS7317. This Part of BS7317 supersedes DD95-3:1984, which is withdrawn. It is one of a series of methods in BS7317, the others being as follows: Part1: Method for determination of cadmi
11、um, manganese and silver (screening procedure for chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry; Part2: Method for determination of chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc by discrete volume nebulization atomic absorption spectrophotometry; Part4: Method for determi
12、nation of antimony, arsenic, bismuth, lead, selenium, tellurium and tin by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrophotometry; Part5: Method for determination of sulphur by hydrogen sulphide evolution and spectrophotometry; Part6: Method for determination of phosphorus and silicon by spe
13、ctrophotometry; Part7: Method for determination of lead by lanthanum hydroxide separation and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The atomic absorption spectrophotometric procedures in Parts1 and2 are complementary. A sample solution concentration found to be satisfactory for nebulizers in standard
14、 atomic absorptiometers was20g/L. At this concentration the precision obtainable, using the method described in Part1, is only sufficient to allow the determination of cadmium, manganese and silver. Results would be obtained for chromium, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc that would prove useful in dete
15、cting impurities grossly in excess of the requirements for chemical composition specified in BS6017 for Cu-CATH-1 and would give a guide to the levels to be determined by Part2. The discrete volume nebulization procedure in Part2 was developed to enable a higher equivalent sample solution concentrat
16、ion of100g/L to be used without nebulizer blockage. The method involves no chemical separation, which can give rise to contamination problems, and the extra sensitivity obtained enables the impurities to be determined to an adequate accuracy for the requirements for chemical composition specified in
17、 BS6017 for Cu-CATH-1. Parts1 and2 essentially cover the same impurities. Part4 covers the electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrophotometric method and is recommended where the facility is available. Parts1,2,3 and7 are included for use where the electrothermal atomization equipment is
18、 not available. The method described in this Part has been developed from analytical work in which various types of commercially available apparatus have been used. Consequently, although every reasonable effort has been made to draft the method in a form that is practicable irrespective of the type
19、 of apparatus, information on the actual test conditions for particular types of apparatus that have been found to yield satisfactory results may be available. Requests for such information should be sent to Enquiry Section (Milton Keynes), British Standards Institution, enclosing a stamped addresse
20、d envelope for reply. Subject to availability, information will be supplied provided that the type, i.emanufacturer/model, of apparatus for which the information is required is clearly stated in the request.BS7317-3:1990 BSI 12-1999 iii DD95-3 described two methods for generating the impurity elemen
21、t hydrides: a) the direct flame hydride method; and b) the silica tube hydride method. Experience gained in the use of DD95-3 led to the conclusion that the sensitivity of the direct flame method was significantly less than the silica tube method. Thedirect flame method has therefore been deleted in
22、 this Part of BS7317. Revised techniques for the preparation of the primary calibration solutions for arsenic, selenium and tellurium have been introduced. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their
23、correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi toiv, pages1to8, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyrig
24、ht date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.iv blankBS7317-3:1990 BSI 12-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of BS7317 describes methods for the determination of the actual amounts of the impurity elements antimony, arsenic, bismuth
25、, selenium, tellurium and tin present in high purity copper cathode (designated Cu-CATH-1), by hydride generation and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. It is applicable to concentrations of the impurity elements not exceeding the following limits. 2 Principle Test solutions are prepared by separa
26、ting the impurity elements from the sample of Cu-CATH-1 by double co-precipitation with lanthanum hydroxide. An aliquot of each test solution is introduced into a hydride generation assembly where reaction with sodium borohydride liberates hydrogen and volatile hydrides which are transferred into th
27、e optical path of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The hydrides are thermally dissociated and the absorbances due to the impurity elements are measured. The determinations are carried out by the silica tube hydride method, in which sodium borohydride solution is used to generate the impurity
28、element hydrides. The generated hydrogen and the hydrides are introduced into a silica dissociation tube that is heated by a normal acetylene/air burner. 3 Reagents 3.1 General During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical quality or higher purity and only distilled water, deionize
29、d water, or water of equivalent purity that has no detectable levels of the particular elements to be determined.

The tube may be either purpose-built or as supplied with a commercially available hydride generator. The length of the tube is dependent on the flame length of the bu
