This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS7319-6:1990 BSI 12-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of BS7319 describes a flame atomic absorption spectrometric (AAS) method for the determination of total cadmium in sodi
11、um chloride. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this Part of this BritishStandard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Principle The principles of this Part of BS7319 are as follows: a) the mineralization of cadmium and dissolution of the sample in nitric acid solution; b) the compl
12、exation of the cadmium and certain other metals by ammonium pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate, and extraction of the metal complexes into chloroform and back-extraction into nitric acid; c) aspiration of the nitric acid solution into an acetylene-air flame; d) measurement of the absorbance at a wavelengt
13、h of about228.8nm, using an atomic absorption spectrometer fitted with a cadmium hollow-cathode lamp. 3 Reagents 3.1 General. Unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water complying with grade3 of BS3978. 3.2 Nitric acid, =1.40g/mL,945 g/L HNO 3approximately. 3.
14、3 Chloroform, =1.481g/mL. 3.4 Ammonium pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioate (APCD) solution, special reagent for AAS. Dissolve20g AAS grade APCD in1 L of water and filter. Prepare this solution daily. 3.5 Ammonia solution, =0.9g/mL. 3.6 Diammonium hydrogen citrate solution, 113g/L solution. Dissolve124g dia
15、mmonium hydrogen citrate in a500mL one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix. Purify this solution as follows. Shake100mL of the solution with10mL of the APCD solution(3.4) and extract three times respectively with10mL,5ml and5mL of the chloroform(3.3). Back-extract the combin
16、ed organic extracts into nitric acid, as follows. After the phase separation following each extraction, run the organic layer into a previously dried100mL separating funnel(4.5) containing1.0mL nitric acid(3.2). a) Repeat the extraction and back extraction procedure until, when aspirating the nitric
17、 extracts into the acetylene-air flame, the absorbance measured at approximately228.8nm is lower than10 times the absorbance of20mL of chloroform extracted into a mixture of1.0mL nitric acid(3.2) and9.0mL water. b) Transfer100mL of the purified solution into a200mL one-mark volumetric flask, add20mL
18、 ammonia solution(3.5), dilute to the mark with water and mix. 3.7 Cadmium, stock solution, corresponding to1000mg/L. Weigh, to the nearest0.0001g,1.000g of cadmium metal strip or granules(99.99%) and dissolve them in10mL of the nitric acid(3.2). Transfer the solution quantitatively to a1000mL one-m
19、ark volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with water and mix. NOTE 11mL of this solution contains1mg of lead. NOTE 2A commercial stock solution for atomic absorption spectrometry of the same strength may also be used if available. 3.8 Cadmium, standard solution, corresponding to5mg/L. Transfer5.0mL o
20、f the stock solution(3.7) to a1000mL one-mark volumetric flask, add1.0mL of the nitric acid(3.2), and then dilute to the mark with water and mix. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Ordinary laboratory apparatus 4.2 Atomic absorption spectrometer, fitted with an acetylene-air burner and scale expansion facility. NOTEIn
21、 order to reduce the interferences caused by non-atomic absorption the use of a background correction device is recommended. 4.3 Cadmium hollow-cathode lamp 4.4 Separating funnels of 500mL capacity. 4.5 Separating funnels of 100mL capacity. 5 Procedure 5.1 General NOTEEnsure that no traces of cadmiu
22、m are introduced during the analysis, taking care to avoid any contamination by traces of cadmium during the sampling process. Wash all the glassware to be employed for this determination as follows, rinsing very carefully with water after each operation: a) with a brush and detergent if the walls a
23、re greasy; b) with diluted nitric acid(1 : 2). 5.2 Test portion Weigh, to the nearest1g, a test portion of250g.BS7319-6:1990 2 BSI 12-1999 5.3 Test solution Transfer the test portion (see5.2) into a2000mL beaker, add850mL of water and stir to dissolve. 5.4 Blank test Transfer850mL water into a2000mL
24、 beaker to act as a blank solution. 5.5 Mineralization To each2000mL beaker (see5.3 and5.4) add10.0mL of the nitric acid(3.2) and stir. Add some glass beads, heat to the boil and boil gently for30min. Ensure that the total volume never falls below800mL, adding more water if necessary. (The same volu
